is it possible to have snow / rain particles in your map with brush entities / entities that i assume require the equivalent of smartedit attributes in hammer? 

A mod to do that. There have been a few that add such features but in general they all bring along a load of crap that you don't need, or the effect is poorly done.

The extras/r4 mod added a lot of handy features and wasn't bloated with assets, maybe you could check that out.

It'll be somewhere in here: http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2/

That's basically a collection of all the old mods going back since the early days. 

If you don't care about anything else, rip out the gorgeous snow from dpmod and force your players to use Darkplaces. 

b-but how would I make the snow look like quake? 

 

Hello Quakers!

Q2Cafe is proud to announce the 10th Mapping Contest that will be hosted at http://leray.proboards.com. This is the big 10 so we're planning something memorable. There's no pressure to construct superb works of art, unless of course you want to, and we're also pretty flexible with the dates to accommodate new mappers and beginners alike. We're also looking for people to help rate and judge the maps, so if that's more up your alley we'd love to have you too!

The past events were all smash hits that rewarded the community with awesome new maps, and we don't see that changing this time. We're looking for new talent as well as Pros, either way all sorts of contributions are welcome. Most importantly this contest is about the fun experience and group activity that will enrich and expand our playing field. We would hate for any capable mappers to miss out on this exciting event, which will surely stimulate everyone's imagination for years to come! And just imagine what you can make with an awesome editor like TrenchBroom. All entries are welcome, big or small, they will all help make this Mapping Contest a success. So please stop by Q2 Cafe today, and join the Contest:

Not trying to be dick, just checking in every couple of months :) 

I am constantly making progress, but there are still a few features missing. At least I can count them on one hand now though. 

A Lovecraftian hand with over a dozen fingers and probably some tentacles? 

Maybe I could type faster then ;-) 

Between this editor and having a third testicle, Trenchbroom wins. 

Excellent. I can't wait for the 2dview. Like I said in the email, let me know if I can help with testing or whatever :) 

That makes TB sound kinda superfluous? :) 

Yeah, I'm not sure how much use I'd have for a third testicle... 

 

 

Three Balls
Triple Bollocks

you get the idea 

How Much Use Do You Have For A Second One?

a) it's a spare
b) otherwise you'd lean to one side when you walked 

Redundancy!

Can this be used on a basic laptop without a fancy video card? 

I'm running it on a Surface Pro Laptop. Before that I ran it on an old Dell Laptop that was probably about 4 or 5 years old when TB came out. 

Dell Lattitude D410
Windows XP Pro 2002
Installed the C++ thing also (from above)
It says "Trenchbroom has encoutered a problem and needs to close"
It's a Microsoft message dialog.
Any clues anyone?
