how much pc space does it require?

Zone Builder itself takes up around 30 MB.

wow! not that much, huh? last time my pc lagged a lot when loading zone builder, I'm literally scared to download it again.

Just wondering, but will this get mac support? I am aware of being able to use wineskin, but I have zero experience that even a video won't help.
Overall, this looks great. If I can get it to work I will definitely love this!

By any chance is it possible for users to have the NiGHTs path appear for custom mapthing types by editing the config or something?
Or is this a hardcoded feature?

Is it normal if when I download it and run, Windows Defender decides to get up in my face about it being unrecognised?

Yes, it's normal. Don't be afraid, Zone Builder has no viruses or something else.

Excellent! Thanks for updating.

As to zoom tubes, I see the sequence number is now rendered on the 1st waypoint of a sequence.

I'd like to leave a suggestion to make it easier to identify/match the correct sequence number in the waypoints in general: add a string like "(Sequence: {number})" to "Order" in angle field. Something like this:

Or replace "[ ] Random value" with "Sequence: {number}" (why would I need a random angle for a ZT waypoint?).

Hey, I was wondering if it would be allowed to make a pt-br translated version of the current SRB2-22.cfg? I just wanna make sure I dont deal with any troubles! I know it could possibly be kinda of a problem for them to find information about linedef types, sector types, etc, when they are translated to portuguese, while information about them on the wiki are english, but I believe that it would at least help on the first steps of a new brazillian mapper, so, thats all I ask (this is only an idea im still just considering), thanks.

I can look into exposing that for custom mapthings, which should be very easy if you want them to behave the same as NiGHTS path mapthings.

Zone Builder Unofficial had something similar to this for star posts, which could be ported over easily. I'll look into making it support zoom tube waypoints.

Of course, feel free to edit the configuration files in any way! I would suggest making the translated version into a separate configuration file with a different game name, like game = "Sonic Robo Blast 2 - 2.2 (PT-BR)";.

Yes! This is gonna be very helpful, thanks so much!

Woah, how I didn’t think of it myself. It would be cool to be able to translate the interface ZB itself.
