SLADE | 3 | It's a Doom editor |
SLADE v3.2.6, now with More Floors (tm) Tue, May 28 2024 SLADE v3.2.6 is now released, with long overdue (unfinished but mostly usable) 3d floors support in the map editor 3d mode! Most of the work was done years ago by eevee (big thanks to them), it just needed to be finished up, which... it still hasn't, but I figured it's been sat on far too long, so here it is. Note that it's definitely not complete support and there are some issues with 3d floors that aren't just the basic solid ones, but it should at least be usable. It's turned off by default, but can be enabled in the settings (map editor > 3d mode). Of course that isn't the only addition, there are plenty of other changes and fixes, which can be seen below:
As for other updates, work on the next major release of SLADE (v3.3.0) is coming along sure enough. So far I've updated all OpenGL usage to modern standards, so it's shaders and vertex buffers now instead of the old fixed pipeline. As such, SLADE will require OpenGL 3+ support at minimum. However, I've also added software-rendered backups for most things, so if OpenGL isn't supported on your system SLADE will at least be usable - the only thing that will require OpenGL to work will be the map editor. On the plus side, the map editor 2d mode is looking much nicer now, and performs much faster too, even on low end hardware. The last thing left to go is 3d mode, which is probably more work than the rest of the OpenGL stuff combined :P Anyway that's all for now. As per usual, head to the downloads page for v3.2.6. SLADE v3.2.5 Tue, Dec 19 2023 SLADE v3.2.5 is now released, with a bunch of changes including support for some new formats (EDGE classic and Jaguar sprites), text editor improvements and many map editor improvements and fixes. Big thanks to everyone who contributed to this release (there were a lot this time!) A full list of changes is below:
