Big long honky description
-----------------------------
DCK is a very powerful, very easy to use and very quick DOOM map editor.
It
features an advanced design:
- Fully event-driven interface with dialog boxes, menus, etc
- Does NOT require Windows
- 32-bit code for speed (this means DCK will not work on a 286)
- Intuitive keyboard and mouse commands
DCK's key idea is Automation. No more worrying about upper / lower
textures,
properly closed sectors or any of the other boring stuff that goes into
making
maps. Of course, you have full and complete access to all the low-level
aspects of a map -- every data is also manually changeable.
Here are some of DCK's major functions:
- Intuitive line-draw tool allows you to create new regions (sectors)
quickly. Handles sectors-in-sectors, new sectors, extensions on
existing sectors, and more.
- Flexible stair creation function (now with simple preview)
- Multiple-selection object editing / moving
- Powerful drag-drop functions that DON'T redraw the screen all the
time.
- Automatic drag-drop line / vertex joining
- Fully functional grid including snap to, decrease and increase scale
- Rotation / scaling of any objects
- Clipboard for any type of objects
- Quick and powerful map error checker
- Motifs: Multiple sets of default textures for walls, doors, floors,
etc.
- Texture browser including searching for textures (F2 in tex. fields)
- Intelligent automated functions for creating doors and lifts
- Format painter for quick duplication of multiple objects
Requirements
---------------
- VGA (640 x 350 x 16 minimum)
- A Mouse!
- A 80386 or higher processor.
