Doombuilder 2 Questions

[Lakai]

Hello. I wanted to ask some questions regarding DB2. I stopped mapping sometime ago when DB2 didn't even exist, but recently i wanted to start again and i found myself struggling with some changes:

1 - I noticed the Insert Sector function is gone. I found this one quite useful in DB1 because it allowed me to create perfect geometrical shapes (like circles, hexagons etc.) Is there any similar function in DB2 that I can use, or some tool that produces a similar effect?

2 - Sometimes when copying and pasting sectors, the pasted sectors have different ceiling/floor heights for some reason (For example: I copy a sector with Floor Height "0" and when pasting it somewhere else, instead of having "0" it has "-16"). Is there any way to prevent this?

Just to mention im using GZDoomBuilder but I also tried with regular DB2 and the same problems happen.

Can you elaborate further on this? I don't fully remember such a function like this on DB 1.68, other than making sectors\lines using the 'Insert' key on the keyboard -- which I still use today with DB2\GZDB.

I think you can change this within the 'Pasting' section within the Preferences menu.

Thank you for answering. Changing the pasting options fixed my second problem; it seems that when copying multiple sectors and pasting them into a different one causes the floor/celing heights to get screwed.

Related to the insert sector, ill show you with a few images i made: In Doombuilder 1 you could press shift + right click and then this window would pop up:



Then you could input the desired size and amount of vertices and the output would be a sector with a perfect geometrical shape:



I wanted to know if there is anything similar to this in DB2, a plugin, a different tool or anything. Thanks in advance.

I don't(?) think such functionality yet exists? The only thing that remotely comes close to mind right now is the 'Stair Sector Builder'. Maybe the folks over at the ZDoom forums might know?

The closest plugin I can think of is the DrawCircle plugin, but I can't find a download link for it anywhere. It had a thread on the Doombuilder forums, but those are currently down. The only thing I can recommend is GZDoom Builder, because it has a Draw Ellipse mode and a Draw Rectangle mode.
