@Cresede • 6.9K views • 3 days ago my man SRB2 has been a thing longer than a few years :/. V2.1 came out 8 years ago so I don’t know what your on about.

If you didnt know
I'm in the same boat bro i'm so happy seeing my map i made
I needed this to make my Mario World Blast 2 levels. Thankie.
Is it done?
If yes, then WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD IT.
@@h4rlowo120 ain't done, I gave up on it but I think I'm gonna try again
@@jakeinator2005 Did you pick it back up again? It sounds interesting
@@honeybell4403 sadly no. Sorry to disappoint.
Excellent to see an updated guide series for Zone Builder.
Damn that transition from the intro to the Virtual desktop was smooth!
Currently repeating this playlist multiple time to memorize this stuff
When doing FOFs, do inverse thinking.
Think of the free space as the solid part of the FOF, and the solid part being air.
So, the ceiling is the "floor" of the FOF, and the floor is the ceiling of it.
EDIT: Same thing on the previous line goes for the flats.
13:40
worth noting: 1 fracunit = 1 pixel on a texture/flat (at least until UDMF introduces texture scaling, then this only applies to standard sized textures/flats)
Definitely take a shot at mapping, thanks sev!
And I thought I knew the "Basics"
im trying to make a mmx1 map, thx for that amazing tut
I feel like an old person using a computer for the first time trying this stuff lol. Guess this sort of thing isn't for me😂
It's possible this isn't a good learning method for you. There are written tutorials on the wiki and the message board, and you can always ask the community for help on the message board or Discord.
That voice. It satisfies me
Can't wait to make Water, It's like Floating Platform but Water, oooh, aaah.
Floor-over-floor but linedef types 120-125 are used for the control linedef.
Linedef type 120: Opaque
Linedef type 121: Translucent
Linedef type 122: Opaque, No Sides
Linedef type 123: Translucent, No Sides
Linedef type 124: Goo Water, Translucent
Linedef type 125: Goo Water, Translucent, No Sides
Help! Everytime I try to test, it gives me a giant list of errors, runs the game, then says "SIGSEGV - segment violation". How do I fix this?
This guy reminds me of lester lol. Nice video, you helped me a lot :)
Yooooo that transition was smooth
Okay, so I'm a bit confused here. You seemed to make a floating cylinder earlier in the video, but making the floating platform involved a lot of extra work? Is that cylinder not actually a floating platform? Also, I'm curious why you applied the grass edge texture differently for the FOF versus that raised triangle section. Couldn't you just directly select the linedefs of the FOF and peg to midtexture like you did before? Why bother raising the floor, pegging the grass to that, then changing the vertical alignment? Seems like a lot of extra steps.
TL;DR yes it requires more work because Doom just be like that.
Long answer: yes, because while Doom is 3D, it renders levels on a 2D plane, whereas if you opened a Quake map (Doom's spiritual successor) in Trenchbroom, you can just create a brush (a brush is just a 3D object that acts as a wall, floor, ceiling, etc) and move it up and down the Y axis. SRB2 was made using a modified version of the Doom engine called Doom Legacy, which allowed this kind of 3D floor fuckery that was shown in games like Duke Nukem a few years earlier.
I like this, i created a prototype level yesterday i just need to know how to add eggman sign of end level, now its just a lockdown square very saddly.
Today is Monday, day 9th May of 2022.
This is also compatible with other iD Tech 1 ports and games!
thanks a bunch! really useful
It's going to be my first time with Zone Builder, and I want to ask;
can we make invisible floating platforms, just to mess with the player?
Yeah, there's a dedicated effect for this, linedef action 105! Use that instead of linedef 100 on the control sector. I hope this helps!
@@JoelTheOne Thank you! I'll be sure to keep this in mind when I make my board!
I swear I do everything like you do and I can't get the floating platform to appear. Actually, even the solid pillar doesn't. The "TAG 1" text doesn't appear when I set the sector of the square to the tag 1 I set to the triangle's linedef. What am I doing wrong ?
same problem I've been having, don't know what I'm doing wrong at all
It took me this long to figure out how this could have happened, sorry. My best guesses are that you typed the tag number in the wrong box, or you tried to tag the target sector's linedefs instead of the sector itself. Hopefully you have already gotten help from the SRB2 Message Board or the SRB2 Discord server.
This fella just covered his desktop in ugly icons and then called the start menu search "stupid"
I might have said that about pre-10 windows os's startup menus, but the customizable nature of 10's start menu is universe-altering
@@clairebun yeah, I can relate even after so many ways to customize your windows 10 themes have been more showed to anyone, Loved Your Music_remade.wad mod for srb2 v2.1, it's really great.
Followed the floating platform part of the video, step by step, same dimensions, it did not work.
The way I showed is still how it's done in the latest patch. Without seeing your map I can't really explain how to do it any better, so hit up the SRB2 Discord server at srb2.org/discord if you still need help. The community is full of nice people who can help you troubleshoot.
If you ever made doom maps, this'll be pretty easy.
You just got a sub and also thx for tutorial
2:02 damn i cant stop thinking about sambucha.
This helped so much
now how can i make my level appear exclusively in the multiplayer special modes list like racing or others cause i want to make a map exclusively for racing mode
That's done in the level header. Watch the 5th video for an introduction on this, and check the links in its description for more info.
Finally
I can make cyber track in in SRB2K
edit: nevermind
Thanks Sentinel
does this work with sonic robo blast 2 kart
i think it does
Sadly, my copy of SRB2 doesn't have that one Configuration File that says "SRB2-22.cfg"
Check the description, it says it's no longer necessary, just follow the other steps.
Okay I'm kind of confused I want to make a flying platform but I'm confused like I don't know how to please help me if you can
Making floating platforms either crash zone builder, or straight up just don't work. Send help!
after i install zoner builder, go to game configurations, the window is broke or something becuase it wont let me select add resource button or literally antyhing else on the right side.
when I launch the game with f9, it says "level has no nodes" and the game closes, is there something I did wrong?
You must make at least two sectors in order for testing to work.
@@SeventhSentinel Thank you, I've been using your tutorials and I have to say, they're super helpful!
Will this stuff work in Sonic robo blast 2 kart as well? Or does it works differently?
Almost everything in this series applies to Kart, yes.
nice vid mac!
is there any way to add 2 tags to something? I'm trying to put water under floating platforms and it won't work for me?
You can multitag in UDMF. For the old format shown here, you just have to duplicate control sectors and set their tags to all go to the same sector. It's a total pain in the ass and one of the main reasons I don't use the old format anymore.
@@SeventhSentinel thanks! I already learnt how to do this by myself a short time after commenting this. But thank you for explaining
thanks a lot man
does this work exactly the same with ultimate zone builder or are there some changes or something
UZB has a lot more options for sectors, linedefs, etc. since it has support for UDMF. My tutorials may still be helpful for understanding the basics of UDMF, but things like slopes and linedef actions are significantly different in UDMF.
@@SeventhSentinel ok, thanks
the config file link is not working for me idk if its a problem on my end or what this is my first time modding any game and doing any of this set up so idk. help please?
edit: my brain kicked in and was like: what if you went back to the other link and see if theres a config file download there. and you guys probably already know this but it was right next to the zone builder download. so yeah i got the file now. now i can follow this tutorial.
YOU CAN USE MODS TEXTURES/ELEMENTS TWO!
what do u mean with elements and how to use it ?
@@duh._.kem04110 import any mod :)
When I start a new map, I keep getting 106 errors all about missing sprite lumps. Does anyone have any ideas?
i also keep getting it
Same.
Note: if u want to easily duplicate items just click and right click the location at the same time.
when i made by first sector it doesnt have a texture and when i made my map it loaded 376 Errors AT ONCE cause all the main assets didnt load is there a way to fix this?
did you load srb2.pk3 as a resource? cuz if you didn't then that's probably what happened. happened to me a while back and it's so frustrating.
I may have commented here before but what if I make a map for kart?
It won't let me scroll through the settings
Hey, does anyone know how to load custom maps, ( i mean aaddon maps) i cant seem to load them...
When I start up zone builder, I don't get options for 2.2, just 2.1, kart and top down.
did you try updating zone builder?
how to i add moving sprites that make you take damage
I don't know how to do that, sorry.
The instructions to make a platform seem not to work. I can't put walls on my platform no matter what I do :(
Please elaborate. I'm not sure I understand what you're describing.
Where do I get the pk7/pk3 file?
Time to make some kart tracks
how to put srb2k textures
how were you moving in the visual mode?
use the esdf keys to move, since the W key is used to toggle visual mode on and off. Hope this helps!
i want to make a modern sonic exclusive map
maybe create a section that needs you to use all of his abilities right at the start? for example, have the player wall jump, do a homing attack chain and boost to break spikes and then onto a spring which you'll need to do some tricks in order to get air
If the entire map is supposed to be for Modern Sonic, it would be easier to use the level header to force players to use the appropriate skin iirc
How Do I Upload Models
Wait a minute isnt this just a recolored doom builder?
Always has been.
At 4:23 you said that right as I was naming my level bob lol
time to make jade gully
It doesn't work for my computer
how am i supposed to use the config thing?
the config link doesnt work
Help i cant i cant put in a resource
bro, where on the page do you get the installer, it's not there
Check description
@@SeventhSentinel figured it out myself but thanks
I wish zone builder was on Android too.
I need .NET Framework 3.5 (includes 2.0 and 3.0)
I cant find srb2 2.2.0, i can only find 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 so the .cfg wont work
It will work 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 too.
I only find SRB2 2.1
whene i test my level my game say level has no nodes (srb2 v2.2.9 error)
You must make at least two sectors in order for testing to work.
@@SeventhSentinel LOL i found the solution before 3 hour, thank you for it !
@@SeventhSentinel and also can you tell me how to voids pls??
@@duh._.kem04110 I don't know what you mean. Maybe check the wiki?
@@SeventhSentinel ok
What if : cannot find map remotly named
Open your map. Press F2. In the box labeled "Level name," type a valid map name.

i cant make resources
I'm on a BEEG project for SRB2
1 month haven't done a thing
How do you raise shapes?
Select the shape and use the mouse wheel to raise it
@@tiktok-mc2nq OK, I need a Mouser
i cant open testing
how to move in 3d mode?
Use the ESDF keys the same way you would use WASD in a game. It's weird, but you'll get used to it.
how can i have a title card?
I will answer that in my next video. Stay tuned.
please, you can have such a tutorial only in Russian
Wanna help you for free video editing and have a better microphone sound?
Thanks for the offer but I can handle the editing myself
@@SeventhSentinel ok man
4:49
*_Where's all the data at!?_*
Get it?
I don't get it.
i dont can made it
Can you make a portable (.zip) version?
No. I have nothing to do with Zone Builder development, so I'm sure something would break and I wouldn't be able to fix it.
@@SeventhSentinel oh
Mobile?
There are no map editors for mobile devices. I guarantee that mapping on a touch screen would be hell anyway.
SUS! Is so cool
Why windows 7?
windows 7 runs better than windows 10
I like it and it doesn't have ads built in
@@SeventhSentinel so its like liking bananas because they dont have bones on it?
@@Twafflejc I like bananas because they taste good
Win7 is not dead, but it's official security update supports are already ended, so you might need to upgrade if you don't like ending up with random guys hacking your pc almost more than Sony's Many Bad Movies Making Anyone Super Sick.
why are you using an old computer this is 2020 bro
how did you get the texts?

help the v2.2 config file link didn't work it keeps saying you are not allowed
Keeps saying 'Cannot find a map remotely named 'MAP0'. How do I solve this issue?
Open your map. Press F2. In the box labeled "Level name," type a valid map name.
so basically my zone builder isnt detecting the 2.2 version and is only running the 2.1 version what should i do
Never heard that one before. Please elaborate.
wait a sec i think i found the problem
nope i still didnt solve it
@@SeventhSentinel its like i have 2 versions, 2.1 and 2.2, but the app is only catching the 2.1 files instead of the 2.2, and i though maybe the app was outdated, but it isnt, and now i dont know what to do
also the message board i got it from also gave me a 2.2 file that i dont know what to do with it
@@f.p.1840 sounds to me like the configuration for 2.1 is in Zone Builder already but not 2.2. I show you exactly where to put the 2.2 config file in this video. If you can't figure out what to do with the config file after watching the video I can't help you
