Well I think it's time for a release. It's pretty much at the same state as it was at v0.11, except with a few new features that I'm pretty sure are all discussed in previous news posts :P. Also, I've released the source code in case anyone's interested or wants to help me out. Head on to the download page to get it. Lastly, I've setup a forum for SLADE here.

Heh, a month has passed and still no release. Basically I ran into the boring parts to code, and now with a holidays/girlfriend/job combo I don't really have much time to work on it. But a few days ago I managed to make a bit of progress, and all that I really need to do now is the texture browser, sector creation and finish off the menus. So I'm hoping to release a new version sometime late January or early February.

Whelp, A few days ago I managed to totally screw my hard drive partition table, which resulted in a total reformat, and attempted data recovery. Well, I recovered most of the SLADE source, but unfortunately not all of it (including the 3d mode and texture loading stuff :/).

But never fear, I'm already half way through rewriting SLADE now, and I should have the next version out sometime next week. Rewriting it has had it's merits, too. Now the game configurations have a much nicer format, and also I've added support for custom ui skins ;) (not to mention the code is a whole bunch nicer this time around... so I'll probably do a source release for the next version too).

SLADE v0.11 is now available for download. The only real new feature is a 3d preview mode. It's not complete yet, I still have to get it rendering 2-sided middle textures (bars, etc), and I have to figure out how the bsp tree works so it doesn't have to render the whole map constantly :P.

I've also started on some preliminary Hexen format support: SLADE will now load up Hexen-format maps correctly, as long as you use the right config file (z_doom2 and z_doom1 for now). Anyway hopefully soon I'll have full ZDoomHexen support done...
