Func_Msgboard: The TrenchBroom Level Editor

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/01 18:37:12

Today I am releasing TrenchBroom 1.0 for Windows and Mac OS X. TrenchBroom is a modern cross-platform level editor for Quake.

Features
- True 3D editing, no 2D views required
- High performance renderer with support for huge maps
- Vertex editing with edge and face splitting
- Manipulation of multiple vertices at once (great for trisoup editing)
- Smart clip tool
- Move, rotate and flip brushes and entities
- Precise texture lock for all operations
- Smart entity property editors
- Graphical entity browser with drag and drop support
- Comprehensive texture application and manipulation tools
- Search and filter functions
- Unlimited undo and redo
- Point file support
- Automatic backup
- Support for .def and .fdg files, mods and multiple wad files
- Free (as in beer) and open source (GPLv3)
- Cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux supported)

Check out a video of TrenchBroom in action here.

You can download the editor here.

If you would like to give feedback, please do that in this thread. If you find a bug or have a feature suggestion, please submit them at the issue tracker.

If you are wondering where the Linux binaries are then sorry, but currently there are none. The Linux version has a few problems which I could not fix before this release. I will get working on those right away so that the Linux version should be available in a couple of weeks, too.

Finally, I would like to thank necros for all his work over the past year. Without his tireless efforts, TrenchBroom would simply not exist. Or it would suck.

Alright, enough of this. Have fun with the editor!

Update: 2.1 here:

Features "cool shit".

If you have DB, can you give me the email address you use for it?

Sure

Current version says it's a 15 hour d/l ;)

Got it. Server burp.

Alright

Sent you an invite, but I deleted all old betas just now, so the folder is empty ;-). I'll upload a new build later.

Is the business.

Problem

#991 posted by mechtech on 2013/05/08 17:01:32

Sorry about not posting to the proper location.
If I use the texture named 1999

I get

"Malformed map file: expected token of type string, but found integer number at line 1249, column 67"

Texture Names

#992 posted by ijed on 2013/05/08 17:16:50

Have to begin with a letter not a number - I think this is common to all textures.

Interesting...

#993 posted by metlslime on 2013/05/08 21:55:25

I should add that to my texture faq.

Do They?

#994 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/05/09 01:58:24

Where's that writ? There is another bug in TB's map parser concerning texture names beginning with a curly brace. I could fix this one too while I'm at it, but only if all-digit texture names are valid. Someone should check the Quake source.

Unnamed Textures

#995 posted by Baker on 2013/05/09 06:10:25

Aerowalk has an unnamed texture in the map somehow, if I recall correctly.

"{" Texture

#996 posted by Baker on 2013/05/09 06:12:35

Is used by Remake Quake for "fence textures" (alpha masked where palette index 255 is transparent), just like Half-Life.

Yes

#997 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/05/09 07:39:43

But I would like to have a word with whoever had the idea to use a curly brace in the texture name.

Hahaha

#998 posted by Baker on 2013/05/09 08:03:42

I understand.

#999 posted by FifthElephant on 2013/05/09 12:51:46

Ahhh SW, you make me chuckle. ;)

#1000 posted by ijed on 2013/05/09 13:48:46

It was 'us' - I name no names, collective responsibility.

It Was MH

n/t

Then 'you' Will Pay For This Atrocity ;-)

#1002 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/05/09 21:14:39

Dunno Why

#1003 posted by FifthElephant on 2013/05/09 21:25:10

they chose on the curly brace, I mean they could have just used a key of "mask" like they did with alpha surely?
I have a nice idea for alpha masks for another map, I think they're all going to be speedmaps from now on btw (since I'm not longer unemployed)... saying that I'm trying to get my sp map sorted before monday, I have actually added a lot of extra stuff so if you downloaded the mp version of deck it will be worth downloading the sp ;)

I'm actually looking forward to seeing "Deck" in SP. I don't "Do" MP so seeing how you envisioning it to play out will be interesting.

Same
