Any chance you might be adding a gui particle editor for Darkplaces into Trenchbroom?
http://www.quakewiki.net/darkplaces-wiki/effectinfo-scripting-reference/ http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-help/quake-clients/8336-tut-add-particle-effects-models-sounds-into-quake-via-ent-files-darkplaces.html Just create a feature request at the bug tracker, but the chances that it'll happen soon are pretty slim.
I'dd rather see engine maintainers settle on a universal and highly modular particle system. The DP one is useful but relatively fixed function.
I'd rather see the editor stay focused on vanilla aspects, first and foremost, and/or perhaps only.
I agree with first and foremost. Non vanilla would be nice, as long as it's integrated non-intrusive. Maybe a plugin API could fill those gaps at some point? Long term speculation...
Multiple game support will be in the editor. Particle system is unlikely, sorry. Plugin API is an interesting idea and may happen at some point if there is (serious) interest in writing plugins.
Is it just me, or is the editor still not listing the keys that can be added to the entity you're editing?
For example, editing a Light, in the Entity panel , there is no list of keys that can be added, such as "light" for example. Also, a description of the key, such as "light: The value of light. Default (300)" like I've seen in other editors. I couldn't edit my post afterwards.
No problem that the feature isn't there yet. What I meant was, the tone in my post was because I thought it was added already; I was sure I heard you say it was done. So, I thought I was experiencing a bug. No worries though. Take your time. it's been known a long time what the default light value is.
It would be nice to have these displayed in the editor but let's be honest anyone mapping now will probably know many of the entity keys and values. TB is an oddity because work flow is cut massively by the way you create and edit brushes but adds extra time by not having the entities fully explained (like in Worldcraft for example). In it's current iteration I find myself very comfortable using TB and never wanting to revert back to WC, despite my needing to often look up keys and values for the various entities. It's on my todo list, but as I said - time is limited. I'll push this for the 1.1 version though.

I think having the default keys displayed would be a good idea though, Especially because Trenchbroom seems to be attracting a lot of new mappers who don't know the keys by heart. More experienced mappers can change out the default values for their own ones in the fgd/def files depending on what map they're making. I doubt most mappers, after experimenting with lights, won't have their own values that they prefer to the default 200 blob style.
But that's a minor bonus when looking at the entire user base. Just having these automatically generated will save users mouse clicks and key taps. And that makes the software more efficient to use. I have been trying to use Trenchbroom, yet I have run into a serious issue. I have pointed the application to my Quake directory, and loaded the quake fgd, yet it won't load any textures into the program. It loads the Entities just fine. I have tried pointing Trenchbroom to several different installs of quake, including a vanilla quake install, Darkplaces, etc. Each time it finds entities, but can't find textures. please advise.

What version are you using?
What operating system are you using? If you're on Windows, did you install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package" http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555 ? Trenchboom is 1.09.224
Windows XP SP3 fully updated VC++ x86 redistributable 10.0.30319 is installed Computer is an old Athlon 64 3400+ (nVidia chipset) I guess I could try on another computer, but this is the one I do all my dev type work on. What is the GL driver version? It looks like the driver is failing to compile / link the shaders, which may or may not be a driver bug.
The video driver is really old (2007). I never mess with it because I updated it once and had a lot of problems, so I went back to the old one and have never had any problems since.
That was so long ago that I don't actually remember what the problems were, only that I made a mental note to never screw around with the video driver again. Maybe a new driver wouldn't have the problems. I didn't ask about video card drivers, because I thought it was obvious and common sense by now that people update their video card drivers. You see the message everywhere now a days.
