Func_Msgboard: The TrenchBroom Level Editor

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/01 18:37:12

Today I am releasing TrenchBroom 1.0 for Windows and Mac OS X. TrenchBroom is a modern cross-platform level editor for Quake.

Features
- True 3D editing, no 2D views required
- High performance renderer with support for huge maps
- Vertex editing with edge and face splitting
- Manipulation of multiple vertices at once (great for trisoup editing)
- Smart clip tool
- Move, rotate and flip brushes and entities
- Precise texture lock for all operations
- Smart entity property editors
- Graphical entity browser with drag and drop support
- Comprehensive texture application and manipulation tools
- Search and filter functions
- Unlimited undo and redo
- Point file support
- Automatic backup
- Support for .def and .fdg files, mods and multiple wad files
- Free (as in beer) and open source (GPLv3)
- Cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux supported)

Check out a video of TrenchBroom in action here.

You can download the editor here.

If you would like to give feedback, please do that in this thread. If you find a bug or have a feature suggestion, please submit them at the issue tracker.

If you are wondering where the Linux binaries are then sorry, but currently there are none. The Linux version has a few problems which I could not fix before this release. I will get working on those right away so that the Linux version should be available in a couple of weeks, too.

Finally, I would like to thank necros for all his work over the past year. Without his tireless efforts, TrenchBroom would simply not exist. Or it would suck.

Alright, enough of this. Have fun with the editor!

Update: 2.1 here:

Features "cool shit".

There's a box button at the top with what appears to be a cannabis leaf. Click that and then it should work. Or you can press the space bar and work in 2d mode

You mean in brush mode? You can't edit the vertices once they are set. You basically create a convex hull by setting points or dragging rects on other faces and the realize that form by hitting enter. The ability to drag the vertices might be added later.

Q3A Entities In TrenchBroom

#1835 posted by James on 2015/09/16 16:57:12

For some reason cant get this to work.
Also cant find anything on it.
Is this editor compatible with Quake 3 Arena?
Cheers for the great addition to the Quake scene.

I don't think it's compatible with Q3A yet.

I Need Help

TrenchBroom have mission pack monsters?

You Need A

.fgd or .def which are the entity definition files - either will work.

Or you can add whatever the entites or monsters are to the file you have (or a copy of it). It pretty easy - copy paste another entry (it's just text inside) and change the name.

Adding the special keys/flags that the entities use

I can download it on Windows 8.1, and with guaranteed execution?

#1840 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/10/05 12:20:41

It works in windows 8.1 if that is what you're asking. I made all my maps in 8.1

Ok, thanks.

I can drag MDL models or another Quake files to Trenchbroom?

#1843 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/10/07 01:16:22

not 100% sure what you mean. TB is just for making maps, it will display the models from the game if you point the editor towards your quake directory.

I made a TB tutorial, if you can get past my accent (the type of british accent that is never shown on tv) then it should show you the basics on making your first map -

if you drag files that TB doesn't recognize, it will freeze.

TB1, yes. I thought I had reported that, but when I went to look, there was only this issue: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/713 which only involved the icon getting stuck.

I went to recreate it just now in order to make a new issue and I was able to do it twice, but on the third and successive attempts to recreate, I can't...... so yeah... I'lll.... keep messing with it. O_o

#1851 posted by JohnisonBoa on 2015/10/08 19:46:34

In TB 2 was fixed. :P
