Unable To Setup Trenchbroom On Mac Correctly 
Hello everyone,
I have just installed Trenchbroom on my Mac and despite I have set correctly the path to my Quake 3 folder and defined "baseq3" inside the Map Properties window, Entities don't show up and I get a lot of errors int he console such as: "Unable to find MDL 'progs/player.mdl'", etc.

Ideas? Is Trenchbroom compatible with Quake 3 Arena?

Thank you in advance for any help. 
It Is Not 
Quake means Quake. 
Ionous 
I should mention the main risk: no limits means you can just add more stuff indefinitely and never finish. 
Teleports? 
How do I do them? I made a info_teleport_destination

and a trigger_teleport but I can no figure out how to link them in trenchbroom. Do I add a key and value? 
 
target key on the trigger, targetname key on the destination, and set the value the same on both of them. Each separate teleport->destination pair should have a different value. 
Teleport 
http://quakewiki.org/wiki/info_teleport_destination

That should help. Basically you need a key value of "targetname" for both and they both need to be the same. 
RE:teleport 
I made both the info_teleport_destination and the trigger_teleport have targetname "name"

and it does not work. 
Teleport Map 
Here is the map. I don't know what is wrong...https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10224384/teleportmaptest.zip 
Pretty Sure The Wiki Is Wrong 
and necros is correct. the key on the trigger_teleport should be "target", not "targetname" 
 
no no...

trigger_teleport: "target" "blah"
info_teleport_destination: "targetname" "blah" 
Yeah What He Said. 
 
 
Please tell me if the wiki is broken and not allowing editing. 
Aas 
when i load the map on devmap it loads then stops and go back to the main menu, there is a aas file and when i try to add bots in map it says aas not found/active 
Moving Platforms 
I went through the wii and no mention of func_plat anywhere. I added target and targetname stuff retrospectively, and I cant figure out how to make the floor move or even how to define the height. 
 
/*QUAKED func_plat (0 .5 .8) ? plat_low_trigger
Plats are always drawn in the extended position, so they will light correctly.

If the plat is the target of another trigger or button, it will start out disabled in the extended position until it is triggered, when it will lower and become a normal plat.

Flags:
"plat_low_trigger"
???

Keys:
"height"
determines the amount the plat moves, instead of being implicitly determined by the model's height.
"sounds"
1 = base fast
2 = chain slow
"speed"
moving speed (default: 150)
"targetname"
entity name
*/
 
 
meant to hit preview.
anyway, as you can see, the amount of movement is normally determined by the actual lift model. but you can override it with height. 
THE FORGE!

Much more complete entity list than the wiki :D 
Stupid Question About Spawnflags 
In the second byte of spawnflags there's flags to not spawn ents in Easy, Normal and Hard mode, but not Nightmare?

Is there a way to make an ent not spawn in Nightmare but spawn in the other skill levels? 
 
Nightmare is hard skill with different monster AI. A NM-only spawn would require modified progs. 
In Theory 
You could have a NM-only killtarget for your ent to not exist in NM, but it's a setup that requires a start map and a rune. 
No Spawn In NM 
I was thinking like, make certain ammo or weapons not appear in NM to raise the challenge, but it sounds complicated. :P 
 
You could have a NM-only killtarget for your ent to not exist in NM, but it's a setup that requires a start map and a rune.

You put the rune in the nightmare entrance? 
Been There Done That 
Also made it so the player couldn't avoid accessing NM after collecting the rune, unless they opened the console. 
Yeah 
Then use func_episodegate logic gates in the actual map. 
Oh Come On... 
You have 24 hours to come up with the CORRECT maphack before I put you all to shame. Nightmare only trigger - go!
