- -----------------------------
-
- 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
-
