That happened to me a bunch of times but I always assumed I doubled the action by accident. 

Pressing control while trying to move something?

You can easily create a duplicate in the same place if you try to move something when the axis is locked. 

ijed, I guess that's possible. I often Cntrl + click a few brushes in a row to select them together, and then move the entire selection. Hmm, I guess being new and inexperienced I'm just still very clumsy at mapping, but it does seem overly easy to create duplicates unintentionally in TB (seeing as it has happened to otp and mfx as well).

Any suggestions on how to track down duplicates & triplicates? Or does one just have to do it the hard way (manually, one by one)? 

They won't cause any problems since they are a duplicate - there won't be a visible error.

It will increase your bsp compile time marginally.

I come across this problem a fair bit as well. 

They only get in the way when you need to retouch the texturing right?, else those duplicates are harmless as the guy above said.. 

Good to know it's not a serious problem, but that adds yet another mapper (ijed) who's had the same experience ... so maybe that qualifies as a TB usability issue then? SleepwalkR, maybe it is something you could tweak in TB2? Should I post this in the TB thread or the github issue tracker -- or is it rather a non-issue? Don't want to seem as if I'm finding fault for no good reason...

mfx: Yes, a few times in the past they caused problems with textures, which was how I first noticed that I had duplicates (thanks to the tip you gave me in this thread a few weeks ago -- thanks again for that). 

I wonder if there's a way of adding some feature to TB that is able to match up duplicate brush info and delete one of the entries? After all a .map file is simply text and you could do a simple "find and replace" using notepad anyway.

I'm no coder and I haven't experienced this duplicating bug. There's been instances when using the clip tool that it wont split the face properly and it just duplicates the brush instead, is this what you guys are experiencing? 

0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7....8....9..\

Look at the coordinates.
I have stripped all lightstyles , still getting this warning :( And the bad lightmap.
I think i just leave it like this for now. 

The plot thickens. It's very likely that the duplicates are a result of misinterpreted ctrl+drag operations. I'll fix that for TB2. 

I am searching for this guys excellent texture packs for Quake 2 and 3, beginning with the originals of those that Fern modified for his map Return to Dust (Fern doesn't want people to use his version), which got the Quake2 versions in here and also found this ones for Quake1.

So the question is, have i missed other Quake 1 versions of his textures or have i to rip the rest from his maps and convert what i have for Quake1?
If there is a Quake 1 version already is better, i don't mind learning to do that, but they would have been better converted to Quake 1 palette than what i would have done myself. 

Hey everyone, I've been working on a quoth map on trenchbroom since last month and since yesterday I can't compile the fucker.
Now, before that error I could comple it fine, but I had to make some adjustments because not only was the lightning terrible (ambient shadows were fullbright, colored lightning were absolute pitch-black, sky lightnings produce misplaced shadows and lights as spotlight using mangle doesn't do shit. Also notice the sky lightning was the only light that was colored.)

I changed the general skylight with local lights located around open areas and those spotlights, I made them target a personal info_null entity while making "style = 4" to really be sure I'd get spotlights, and since then I get that dreadful "Inverted min/max" error while starting the map. 

 

Darkplaces latest build, Tyrutils as compilers (used BengtLightColouredR2 as light.exe recently for the colored lights, hoping for something better but no dice) 

removing "light" from the worldspawn and see what that does. Recently seen a lot of people have trouble using a minimum light level, myself included. To be honest using a min light is generally frowned upon anyway. 

http://www.mediafire.com/download/jwq4cem33zg79pi/gravelwip.rar here's the map file with the wads included for those who want to try and fix this 

I think that is a logic error, not something with light.

Check your platform brushes. 

Yes, I can load it just fine if I remove the func_plats. 

Fuck, it's always the platforms, they can't handle negatives. 

I haven't been posting here since like... 2001? No idea if someone remembers me. I'm MaTi, I did MATDMx or MATSPx ;) Anyway, I wrote an article about Composition in Level Design.

...aaaand the Gamasutra version:

Well, fuck that guy then. How can you not allow others to use your stuff when you yourself are using the work that others have made freely available for you? What an asshat. 

it says in the text file:

If you want the originals, please go to these sites:

http:// ......

DO NOT RIP THESE TEXTURES FROM THE BSP!!! GET THE ORIGINALS INSTEAD!!!

Well, he is free to do what he wants with them. And also, there is at least a turtlemap by another author in Quaddicted that uses those textures, so maybe he changed his mind. 

Hrm, any good way to remove those colors if they were used on a texture inside a wad.

I copy pasted an image from photoshop into TexMex, the result was good, but some pixels are fullbright, like a few scattered all over the place, but I can't manually sit down trying to find them.

Can I somehow select by palette in either TexMex or Wally perhaps, OR already inside photshop and then change a color to another palette id? 

I edited the palette in photoshop, I just turned all the last colors pink, then the next time I did a index, it didn't choose the pink ones, cause they were to far away to match.

I assume it's the last 32 colors in the palette that is fullbright? 

Yeah, last 32 are fullbright. I use 2 palettes when making textures. one with them in there and one without them. That way I have to be working on a texture where I know I need fullbright to have them there and nothing can sneak in.

Then again I am not using PS for doing Quake textures, but Cosmigo Promotion which is for index painting and pixel work. 

From like 1997.

I also have 2 palettes :)
