Yadex 1.5.2 (2002-01-30)

Differences between Yadex and DEU 5.21

If you're an old DEU user, you might find this useful.

Warning : as it has not been updated since 1998-02, this document is badly out of date.

1. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

ADDED SUPPORT FOR VERSIONS OF DOOM BEYOND 1.2 Added support for levels E4Mn. Added linedef and sector types introduced with Doom v1.666.
ADDED SUPPORT FOR DOOM II Added support for levels MAPnn. Added new linedef and sector types (see above). Added reading sector and wall textures from doom2.wad. Added definition of Doom II things. You now have to replace main= in the config.file by iwad1= and iwad2= and invoke yadex with either "-g doom" or "-g doom2".
INTEGRATED INFO FROM DOOM SPECS 1.6 Corrected linedef types and sector types. Reordered sector types. Added new linedef and sector types (see above).

EDITING IN GENERAL

Highlighting: it does not require as much a precise positionning of the pointer as it did (+/-8 pixels instead of +/-4).
Made PU PD END HOME scroll only 1/6 screen at a time (not 1/2)
Grid: also highlights multiples of 1024 or 256 or 64. This is useful when you are working with small grid steps (E.G. 8) but still need to align to 64.
Grid: you can now have a grid finer than 8 or coarser than 256. So you can now do 4-alignment or even 2-alignment. There are two new parameters (gridmin and gridmax) in the config file to set the low and high bounds (default : 4 and 256).
Zoom: added 1 extra magnification step (x8).

Zoom: vertices green crosses and linedef arrows are never drawn larger than they would at zoom 1.0. This makes editing g war@middleearth.telefragged.com" >listar@middleearth.telefragged.com with "unsubscribe yadex-announce" as the subject.

Yadex 1.5.2 (2002-01-30)

Credits

DEU

Yadex is derived from DEU 5.21 that was written by Raphaël Quinet, Brendon Wyber and others. I am deeply indebted to them as, if they had not written DEU 5.21 and, more importantly, had not kindly released the source code, Yadex wouldn't exist.

Here are the credits from the DEU 5.21 documentation :

* Everybody at id Software for making such great games!

* Brendon Wyber                   (b.wyber@csc.canterbury.ac.nz)

     Even if I rewrote nearly 90% of the code, this editor still has its
     strong DEU roots... :-)
