Feature request: Doom Builder

[Lvangundy]

Please add CTRL + - and CTRL + + for zoom grid view in and out, like all graphic editors do. Also add quarter percent zoom levels, not just 50 / 100 / 200 etc.

doom builder isnt being developed anymore, gzdoom builder is its succesor.

Wait, what? As far as I know GZDoom Builder is an offshoot meant more for ZDoom mapping, not a successor.

GZDB really needs a name change...

[Lvangundy]

There's no dev contact in the help menus and I've been out of the loop on this stuff, so I wasn't sure who to contact. I just downloaded it to see what's been new in the editing system. Is doombuilder mothballed?

It also needs to be distributed with port configs aside from vanilla, Boom and "z-family" ports. Though trivial, it's inconvenient to import DB2's configs for everything else. It reinforces the false notion of being "z-family" specific by only including those and the two lowest common denominators.

[GreyGhost]

I doubt MaxED would object to a few more port configs if someone's prepared to test them beforehand.


@Lvangundy - you'll find the most recent version of DB2 here

Fuck, I had no idea about this. I thought GZDB was specifically for ZDoom and that was it.

Any suggestions? :)

I like it!

A lil' tongue in cheek: Doom Designer.

You can bind keys to zoom grid view in and out in Preferences > Control > Edit > Grid Decrease and Grid Increase. Definitely an useful feature.

Edit: my bad. See MaxEd's post below.

They already default to "[" and "]" in both DB2 and GZDB (unless you messed with "DB2\Builder.cfg" or "GZDB\GZBuilder.default.cfg", of course).

I think "Doom Builder" should remain a part of the title, otherwise once again people will be hesitant to switch to it since they will think that it has nothing to do with DB and that it's some completely different editor you have to get used to, which is always a pain.

Maybe Doom Builder Plus or Doom Builder Pro. o,o

[Linguica]

Doom Builder... 3??!?

[MaxED]

OKDONE

[AD_79]

Perfect, that's good.

[SyntherAugustus]

Love it.

[FireFish]

Well, thanks to the odd obsession with doom and ass on this forum, i can now honestly write abut my eyes getting stuck on a demon his pink muscular ass because the mind automatically assumed that to be the reason of the image... and then the mind flashed a less noble thought.

OOOOOO DAT PINKY ASS

[scifista42]

Seriously, what's the problem with possibly calling GZDB "Doom Builder 3"? The arguments presented earlier in this thread make it justified, IMO.

That is a good idea.
Although the SVN page already is changed to just Doom Builder, I think it would be better
if there were some differentiation from previous names.

Memfis said:

Sounds good.
Or perhaps Doom Builder Max or Doom Builder Ultimate? :)

[Blastfrog]

Doom Builder 3 is a sensible name. Not too keen on pro, max or ultimate.

[raymoohawk]

next version should called just doom builder, and we can than debate and be confused if it should called doom builder 4 or doom builder (2016)

[Impboy4]

Doom Builder Reloaded

[Coraline]

Better than the name I came up with for 3DGE Builder:

Spoiler

3DGEB
