Yadex 1.7.0 Released

André Majorel alerted us to the release of Yadex 1.7.0, the map editor for Unix systems running X-Windows. New in this release:

• improved handling of superimposed objects
• added an alternative black-on-white colour scheme
• Doom: fixed linedef types 35, 36, 68, 70, 71, 79 and 98
• Heretic: many linedef and sector type fixes (Barry Mead)

Yadex is pretty cool, I used it to build parts of my FreeDoom map02.

Yes, Yadex is quite nice really. I just wish it had full support for ZDoom. :)

Oh cool. I'll have to update my version. I like to use it when I'm in Linux.

Hmm, I'll probably check this out next time I boot Lunix.

4th post.

From the news:

Added a link to Andrew Apted's 3D preview patch.


Where?

Yadex is pretty cool, one of the best editors around I think. Don't have Linux on here right now to play around with it though :P

Good news: New version of Yadex
Bad news:The version in Debian is still only 1.5.2 so it's either "make the package up yourself" or "subvert the packaging manager"

http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/yadex/faq.html, near the bottom of the page. Fair point, it took me a while to find it.

Well, IIRC it was pretty easy to build it yourself (back then I tried it on SuSE 8.0 I think).

Yadex actually runs perfectly fine under Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com) as well. I haven't looked into trying to create a native Win32 version with mingw yet, but if you don't mind Cygwin, you can try it without having to use Unix.

The 3d preview patch doesn't work with 1.6.0 or 1.7.0. I'll fix it up soon.
