I remember someone setting up their preferred engine in one of the "Tool" slots in the compiler. Bit more intuitive, imo. 

That's what I've done. It's nice because it only takes one click to start the process and when it's done you're instantly in-game with your map.

It's less nice because of all the issues I've had trying to make it work with something that isn't MarkV. 

Pretty much the only reason I use JACK more. That and primitives.

All on Sleepwalkr's list I'd imagine. 

If you read this, please contact me. It's about your TofuQake (hehe). 

Tried to load the .map from The Hell That's Coming in TB2 today but it returned this error message and crashed:
Expected integer or decimal, but got '[' (raw data: '[') (line 15, column 96]

Is this worthy of a bug report or is it perhaps already reported? Note that I was still using RC1 in WinXP, will have to check in RC4 to see if it still happens. 

In the Open window select Map Format "Valve". 

...but it's a Quake level! And it doesn't happen with any other Quake map I've tried to load. Why is this happening? 

Because that map you are trying to load uses "Valve" texture mode. Most other dont/didnt until recently. 

 

I posted this on Github but thought I'd share for discussion.

I'm an video editor and in my editing software I can raise audio levels relative to each other. So if one track is -5dB and another is 5 I can raise them both simultaneously by 2 dB to make them -3 and 7. A real time saver when mixing audio. This gave me an idea for TB. It would be great to be able to select multiple lights and raise their values relatively as opposed to just absolute values. I'm not sure if this would apply to any other key/values. Nothing else comes to mind. It would be wonderful to tweak lighting in large areas in one operation. Just an idea! 

Is there an easier way to set door angles then entering numbers? Just looking for some TB tutorials.

Not really. But entering numbers is pretty simple once you get used to it. If you are looking to easily figure out the correct angle just add a monster near your door and turn him facing the direction you want to door to move, note his angle and use this value. I am horrible with this stuff so I had to come up with little tricks like this.

See example here

Also up is -1 and down is -2 in the angle key/value. 

Won't happen until after MapJam 9999 but if you need help post here. I am on here multiple times a day. 

Good initiative! 

Thank you for the tip! Still learning and teaching myself as I go. Also is there a way to say draw custom brushes in the editor instead of say a four sided box? Thanks for the info though! 

There are no "stock" primitives (triangles, columns, etc.) as in other editors but take a look at the Brush tool (tap B). You can click and edit points and then extrude them into custom shapes. It's very powerful.

I made a quick video that makes it clear. Hold Shift to drag out the shape and hit enter to create the shape.

Oh thank you for the video and info! I am learning and testing. I have never mapped before so this is an adventure in itself. 

A couple of words of advice for all beginners: Start small. Don't do anything too large or complex for your first map. Have people play your maps before you release. You don't want to release a broken map and then have multiple copies out there. Enjoy!

And also: "Go map!" is a good saying here on func_msgboard.
