Thanks for posting, fifth! 

Uh... Why do I keep getting this?

Unloading existing map file and textures...
Loading file D:\Games\Games\Quake\id1\maps\test3.map
Assuming floating point plane coordinates
Malformed map file: expected token of type string, but found integer number at line 6, column 51
Loaded map file in 0.003000 seconds

Even in the autosave map? 

What's at line 6 in the map file? 

Open it up in a text editor - but I suspect you've got a texture with a numerical only name. 

{
"spawnflags" "0"
"classname" "worldspawn"
"wad" "D:\Games\Games\Quake\id1\t2.wad;D:\Games\Games\Quake\id1\quake101.wad"
{
( 352 -272 256 ) ( 352 -272 -0 ) ( 224 -272 256 ) 2 -0 -0 -0 1 1

Yes I do, I named my tex 1 2 3 just for testing, that's bad in Q1? 

1.wad

Is that in the file, or just func formatting? 

Yes, rename the textures. 

cause TB1 to go balls up. No idea if qbsp will handle them fine, but TB1 doesn't like it. 

One thing I find quiet annoying, when I create a new brush, it's spaced away from the camera, so it can go below or to close to the camera if I'm far away from where I want it. Maybe there's already a setting for it, but can't brushes just appear "on" the brush you aim at when you create one? 

When you draw a brush, TB will position it on the face which was under the mouse when you started dragging. Brushes are created on the XY plane by default, but you can change the height of the brush by hold the Alt key during the drag.

Or maybe I didn't understand what you mean? 

i've been meaning to create an issue for this, but sometimes the brush goes inside the surface... 

 

actually, while i'm here, just dumping something so i remember... shortcut to make new brush appear snapped to face that would normally be moved (ie: face under cursor or face linked to the zone when face is not pointing toward camera) 

Thanks, I didn't know that's how it worked. Now when I know, I always keep the pointer above the brush I want to build from. 

How about using numpad 1-9 to change the grid AND also numpad + and -? Cause now I need to do ctrl+/-.

Sorry if my questions are basic and has been asked before. I'm new. 

Look at the docs and the main menu. You'll find all shortcuts there. Also check out the keyboard preferences. 

In TB2, Ctrl+Shift+Drag will create a new brush instead of resizing. 

i almost never drag out new brushes. i think that might be worth discussing too. 

It was discussed here: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/418 

yeah, thanks, i just haven't had a chance to check anything out yet. :)

#1433 was mainly for a different subject I want to bring up later... 

Been going through the settings and so, but I can't find a setting to set the default texture? I would love to have the skip texture as the default one... 

 

There is no default texture in TB.
