Delete alignements of non-existing textures

[Meerschweinmann]

Hello.

 

I am using Ultimate DOOM Builder.

Sometimes when copying areas to cut them horizontally for portal use, there are alignements left of textures that do not exist anymore.

 

The attached screenshot shows what i mean.

 

Is there a tool that can automatically delete those unused alignements?

 

 

The screenshot is from an Eternity Engine UDMF format map. I get this effect with GZDoom UDMF format too.

UDBScript to the resque.

/// <reference path="../../udbscript.d.ts" />

`#version 4`;

`#name Empty tex offset reset (UDMF)`;

`#description Reset offsets to 0/0 on any empty textures of selected linedefs`;


// Get the selected lines
let linedefs = UDB.Map.getSelectedLinedefs()
if(linedefs.length == 0){
	UDB.showMessage('Please select at least 1 linedef')
	UDB.die()
}

linedefs.forEach(linedef => {
	if(linedef.front != null){
		if(linedef.front.upperTexture == '-'){
			linedef.front.fields.offsetx_top = 0.0
			linedef.front.fields.offsety_top = 0.0
		}
		if(linedef.front.middleTexture == '-'){
			linedef.front.fields.offsetx_mid = 0.0
			linedef.front.fields.offsety_mid = 0.0
		}
		if(linedef.front.lowerTexture == '-'){
			linedef.front.fields.offsetx_bottom = 0.0
			linedef.front.fields.offsety_bottom = 0.0
		}
	}
	if(linedef.back != null){
		if(linedef.back.upperTexture == '-'){
			linedef.back.fields.offsetx_top = 0.0
			linedef.back.fields.offsety_top = 0.0
		}
		if(linedef.back.middleTexture == '-'){
			linedef.back.fields.offsetx_mid = 0.0
			linedef.back.fields.offsety_mid = 0.0
		}
		if(linedef.back.lowerTexture == '-'){
			linedef.back.fields.offsetx_bottom = 0.0
			linedef.back.fields.offsety_bottom = 0.0
		}
	}
})

You mean the X,Y texture offsets? Can't you just set those to 0,0? If you need a texture for that, give them a temporary texture, set the offsets to 0,0 then rename the texture to "-" to remove the texture.

Yes, i mean the X/Y offsets of those non-existent textures.

Deleting them by hand is possible, but when there is a tool that can do it automatically it would be much easier.

The problem is that there are hundreds, if not thousand of linedefs with those non-existent textures and it is too much work doing this by hand.

 

UDB's Map analysis tool can find many errors and remove them, but not this unused alignements.

That looks very promising. Thank you :)

 

Edit: I have tested it and it does exactly what i want. Thanks again.  

 

Edit2: Wow, that script made the WAD nearly 250kb smaller, thanks to removing of useless data.
