What level editor do YOU recommend?

[Sonichu]

SRB2DB is now obsolete (barring the converter - I want to use the newer objects), and the Doom Builder 2 setup keeps on crapping out on me. Now, I don't really care which program I'm using, but what do you recommend?

 

[K.S.]

SRB2DB.

I love the dev 2.0 config that I use, even if it's a complete and utter mess.

If you're not content with SRB2DB, you could try SRB2 Workbench - sort of like Doom Builder and WadAuthor's lovechild.

Workbench has an edit-all funtion, Doom Builder does not, and is type-specific editing. Which can be tedious to swap between.

Then again, Workbench has type-specific editing too, it just happens that workbench has no 3D mode, to compensate. (Things can't be TOO awesome. Except ERZ2.)

I use srb2db, but then again, i suck at making levels so..... i wish i could release my beta level.

You can put it up in Editing for reviews.

That's how I go about it.

I make the map then put it there.

Once most people are satisfied with it,
I put it in the Releases for judging.

And it's okay if you're not great.

At least you're trying.

I use DB... but just because I use it for other stuff, too. I even don't know what SRB2DB looks like. Call me an ignorant but I don't want to have multiple programs on my harddrive that basically do the same thing. :-p

If you want to use the new config file in "normal" DB you just have to open it in MSnotepad and replace the line:

type = "SRB2 Doom Builder Game Configuration";

with

type = "Doom Builder Game Configuration";

Sounds like an awesome program. Too bad it's on closed beta.

Out of curiosity, where do you GET SRB2 Workbench? I can't find it.

Also, you know what would be really good? If someone could make a new version of SRB2DB designed off of DB2, which has awesome features SRB2DB lacks.

I still use SRB2DB even though I've got SRB2 Workbench along with 2.0's config.
