Thanks.

 

[sphere]

sphere updated Zone Builder with a new update entry:

v3.2 - Some small changes

Mainly changes to custom object properties, making it easier for custom object definitions to support both Zone Builder and Ultimate Zone Builder.

Changelog:

• Unknown properties of Lua objects are now ignored instead of throwing an error
• Added $Title, $Angled and $NotAngled as valid alternatives for $Name, $Arrow and...

I'm running into a strange bug with Zone Builder now. It seems to be refusing to load all Textures, Things, & Level Headers when I playtest Levels, except for the base game's Level Headers. As such, Zone Builder won't let me test any Levels that aren't Maps 1-99 or Z0, and when I do, it'll always use the Level Headers from the base game's corresponding Levels. For example, when I load Tropical Jungle from the Sonic '06 Stages(which use Map01-Map13) in Zone Builder and I hit the test button, it'll start up the game in the 1st place, but then it won't load any '06 textures and it'll use a red texture in their places, and it'll use the Deep Sea Zone 1 Level Header instead of the Tropical Jungle Level Header, and the custom Things from the '06 Level Pack will be replaced with red caution signs.

And then when I load a Stage that doesn't have a Map Number of Map 01-99 or Z0, the Stage will refuse to load at all. I have restarted Zone Builder, and I did make sure to load the relevant Level Packs as Resources by using the F6 Dialogue Option in the Resources Tab to do so, and I did check the Exclude this Resource from Testing Parameters option.
However, Stages that are from the base game will run just fine via. Zone Builder.

I wasn't having this problem last week, but now that I have this problem, I can't use Zone Builder to test my custom Stages anymore.

Below is the most recent Crash Report that's resultant of this new bug:

I keep running into all these errors upon creating a new map not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

[segabest1991]

I'm having a problem, it says I need to download the most updated version of DirectX 9 to proceed (I did download it, it ignored)

 

[SundoTheSRB2er]

im a Mac user and theres NO macOS version and wine doesn't work so will there ever be a MacOS version?

 

[yfyfyfyfyfy]

im a Mac user and theres NO macOS version and wine doesn't work so will there ever be a MacOS version?

it is very unlikely because even now there are no maintainers on gitlab

Sorry if the question seems stupid, I just don't understand what's going on, this has never happened with the editor before.

• to clarify, I have all the resources from SRB2 added, SBR2.pk3 as well as patch.pk3 too, but nothing changes

 

[hedgehogstewlover]

is SRB2 made on the doom engine? In first person it uses the view bobbing from doom.

Yes, SRB2 was made using a DOOM engine, albeit a modified one.

I'm unsure if you have had this answered elsewhere, but given that you haven't gotten an answer here:
Those textures are left over from the .14 version of Pipe Towers Zone. They were the new textures and were removed, although it still looks for them by default. This does not affect the usability of Zone Builder (or Ultimate Zone Builder, at that).

thanks for the answer.
yes, I didn't get an answer here, I just figured it out myself later when I opened the SRB2 2.2.14 files.(I tried to port the new PTZ to 2.2.15, spoiler, it didn't work, there are too many functions that broke in 2.2.15 without a full port of resources from 2.2.14)

 

[BasicTadpole379]

I will say, it would be cool to see more presets for FOFs, water, and other stuff like that. Maybe have a very simple version: Zone Builder Jr.? Idk, that would be cool. To me, a lot of this can be a bit confusing.

Post automatically merged: Dec 2, 2025

And have special tools to insert slopes, lava/water/goop, FOFs, GFZ house, and to draw minecart paths and NiGHTS paths.

Do I have the tool for you: https://mb.srb2.org/addons/ultimate-zone-builder.6126/

Ultimate Zone Builder (UZB) merges a lot of linedef types into each other, with most of their properties being handled by the linedef's arguments, meaning that editing an FOFs properties to make whatever combination you want is incredibly easy.
UZB also has incredibly versatile sloping keybinds (GomaTheMascar made an amazing tutorial on how to use those), which let you instantly create slopes that would previously be quite time-consuming to make.

While not in the current release build of UZB, there is also an instant FOF feature being worked on, which has been working remarkably well in my experience (As a version of it can be found in LJ's UZB builds in the #level-design channel's pins on the Official Discord Server)

(...) GFZ house, (...)

You can actually do this already! Both the old Zone Builder and UZB let you create and place prefabs at the Prefabs drop-down menu on the highest toolbar.

 

[BasicTadpole379]

I wish there was an installer for this an UZB for more operating systems, for example, POP OS and other Linuxes, because I have no idea how to use WINE to get ZB to work.

 

[Jammin']

I wish there was an installer for this an UZB for more operating systems, for example, POP OS and other Linuxes, because I have no idea how to use WINE to get ZB to work.

Instructions for installing/building ZB and UZB on Linux can be found at the SRB2 Wiki and the Linux building instructions respectively.
You can alternatively use Wine to use the Windows version if you really want to by navigating to the folder the said Windows version is installed into in the terminal and using the wine command followed by the filename of the EXE file.
If you can't or won't follow those it's probably best you don't use Linux.

 

[Greg]

When SRB2 2.3 is released, will Zone Builder update?
