GZDoom Builder copy/paste problem

Changes made in r2634 by MaxED 3 years ago

Quote

Removed "Adjust heights to match relatively with surrounding sector" 
option from Preferences -> Pasting, because sector height adjustments 
are now handled by Edit Selection mode.

 

Added, Edit Selection mode:
Added "Adjust height" setting. It can be used to adjust floor/ceiling 
height of selected sectors based on the sector selection was in and the 
sector selection was moved into.
        

However, note that GZDB is also no longer being maintained.

The current iteration is GZDBBF r3050.

I think this feature was expanded into three different ways of copying sectors across.  The functionality you want is, I believe, the "Merge Dragged Geometry" option.  You can turn it on using the highlighted button on the tool bar here.

The right hand button is "Replace with dragged geometry" with maintains the original heights, while the left option converts the sectors back to simply vertexes for you to join up how you please.

Unfortunately I can see no change if I switch between the 3 modes. The result is always a sector with exactly the same properties as the one that I've copied

Everyone, at some point, discovers that side panel and goes "Holy shit, was that there this whole time?"

In reality it's here only when you're editing something...so it's even harder to find

Alas, since neither Doombuilder2 nor GZDoom Builder are maintained anymore,

and have not been for years, and ZZYZX just told us that he is looking for someone

else to take over the maintenance of GZDoom Builder - Bugfix you are stuck with

learning either the ins and outs of GZDB/GZDBBF or reverting back to DB2.

What dockers are there depends on the mode you're in, so you'll not always see all dockers. What you can do is to make the docker show all the time by pressing the 3 arrow buttons at he top of the docker.

You can also set that in the preferences (Tools -> Preferences, in the bottom left of the Interface tab, there you can also change the position).
