Doom Builder Editing Tutorial-With Screenshots

[ST218]

Yep. It's done.

After months of hyping and procrastination, I finally got the damn screenshots. I also fixed the formatting (A LOT!) and seperated it into chapters. Except for a different color scheme, it's a lot like a441's WA tutorial.

Oh, you came for the link? Here ya go

Questions, comments, feedback, payments, etc. requested.

Map 11 and Map 12 images are missing.

All the "Back" links are broken.

Otherwise, this is nice. I was planning on making a DB tutorial myself when I finished my mod, though that's going to be like, what? Years? :P Good job.

Useful tutorial, covers up the basics. Big sectors can be made by pressing CTRL+Insert or making the grid bigger (max 1024*2048, min 1*2).
How about adding a glossary section?

:? my doom builder doesn't have a gfx.wad in that folder nor any other... so i left that blank and i thought it didn't mean anything because i got the floor0_6 flat to show up in that small preview box on the sector options but the f_sky1 says unknown flat instead of being black.

 

[JTE]

F_SKY01 doesn't exist. It doesn't matter if Doom Builder says it's a black square or an Unknown Texture, it'll work fine either way.

 

[Shadow Hog]

It should, though. Kinda irritates me, personally; it's not like having the flat in there will mess up the sky or anything. DOOM had a flat representing F_SKY1, and the skies were still drawn as normal. Why not SRB2?

 

[ST218]

Yeah, I took out all the text giving reference to gfx.wad, but I forgot to change the screenshot. Your version will likely look different-those were taken with an older version of DoomBuilder. As for the F_SKY1 thing, I agree, it's stupid. The gfx.wad file had a flat representing F_SKY1. Granted, it was a black square, but at least the name was autocompleted for you :p.

Everytime I click on the boxes for the flat of the ceiling and the floor, i get a runtime error, and shuts itself off. why?

 

[Shadow Hog]

Are they blank, or asking for bogus entries, when you don't have any valid entries available? If so, it tries to load such a texture, but it can't, so it crashes. I think they fixed this in the upcoming update, but seeing as that's not out yet...

 

[Halkel da Thunderhog]

not what i meant, its says Subscript can't be reached everytime i click on that box for the skin for either the floor or ceiling

 

[Shadow Hog]

I know what you meant. What I said has everything to do with that. If the texture (what you called "skin" for some reason) name is incorrect in the textbox below the preview, then if you try to load the texture browser, the program will look for it, not find it, and crash. Same happened to me with normal textures.

 

[Halkel da Thunderhog]

oh, i'll try...

After tested it:Oh right it works. Thanks Shadow Hog :D Thunder Plains here i come.

 

[Monsteriestyn]

Maybe this time I'll give it a shot to work with DB instead of WA.

The only thing wrong with this is that you keep telling them to reset the height of every sector to 4096 each time they add 1.

Looks like we need a new doombuilder configuration for 1.09.2

 

[Naga]

OHNOES!!!

I can't zennode my maps now... unless the current config still works with 1.09.2...Well, the wadauthor one works fine.
If the doombuilder doesn't then i cannot zennode until the next config comes out, since digi's wad editor will not save any changes apart from lump names.

 

[ST218]

Well, I'm lazy, as evidenced by the time it took to get this out in the first place, but Foxboy has you covered: http://www.sepwich.com/foxboy/Srb2World/files/configs/Srb2DBcfg.zip

I'll get around to updating the tutorial in due time, probably later today.

 

[Prime 2.0]

... What is the Iwad called?

 

[fox.dx2]

The iwad's called srb2.srb.
