Hi guys sorry but I have to ask

How do I compile the map on a mac? I tried everything already, but cant make it work I'm new to the macOS, and new to quake(played for the first time in 2015) and mapping.

I know about TyrUtils, but have no idea on how to use it, tried to find tutorials and documentation about, but found nothing.

Have no idea what to do now so any help on how to compile on a mac is much appreciated.

I'm really enjoying myself with TrenchBroom, but now going crazy with the compile, and being a noob. 

First download the osx build of: http://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw/
(it's my branch of tyrutils with some updates over the original).

Extract it and copy everything in the "bin" directory (qbsp, vis, light, etc.) to the place where you are keeping your .map files.

Next open a terminal and type:
cd ~/Desktop/mapping
./qbsp mymap.map
./vis mymap.bsp
./light mymap.bsp
(replacing "~/Desktop/mapping" and "mymap" with your own directory / map name.)

That should give you a mymap.bsp which you can copy to your quake/id1/maps directory.

This turorial might also have some good information: (the main thing you won't have is necros's compiling gui, which is windows-only) http://quakewiki.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Mapping 

it works!!!! I'm so happy right now haha

this is so awesome :)

Thanks!! 

So I don't know how to move the elevator to up, just sounds and not moving... 

what I can do? 

Give it a 'height' key and add an integer value - this is how far down it will move.

I want to trenchbroom 

Best way to learn is by opening up other people's map files. 

For learn the Elevator values in TB? I need values, and the trigger don't have transparency and collision in my experience... 

I don't know what is a Spawnflag and I don't know how to use properties of a single shape.
I make a teleport and sounds as water, the QDamage doesn't appears, the triggers are solids and move with the triggered shape.
What I can do?

I guess I could make a simple map file for you, what type of things would you like to know? 

This was surprisingly hard, and I am still not 100% sure it always works, but:

interesting, that is a very nice method. no overlapping brushes, no bizarre non-symmetrical cuts... 

splitting up of adjacent faces by QBSP. 

Looks very clean. I have to wonder how it would cope subtracting from more complex shapes. 

also it crashes a lot right now, but due to bugs in the vertex manipulation code. Those will be fixed soon, and then it should be stable. But in any case, it will not create new vertices at all. All the remaining brushes will use the vertices of the minuend and those of the subtrahend. In many cases, this will work out fine. 

 

I try to make elevators, sequences, doors, and Sequences, I�m making a map like the Q1 E1M1 for a 3 episode proyect, 7 levels aprox by episode and I want to know what is the action(spawnflag?) of the door(e1m1 style door), toggle?, start open?, don't link? Help D: 

do it 

...isn't the brush manipulation function that we need right now, but it's the one that we deserve.

(i've no idea what i'm on about tbh, i'm a little bit drunk) 

Now I only need external light map importing, and proper smooth shading... and this will be ultimate overkill :D 

I was on YouTube trying to find out how to use the Jackhammer editor when I saw this one, and it looked great and I would have no problems with it because it's meant for only one game.

I downloaded it and extracted it from the folder and made a short cut of the .exe for my desktop and I got the Darkplaces engine and the Shareware version of Quake that I had to get for id1 pak files and I can run the game right but I don't know how to get the Quake map maker working in the program at the bottom there's a box that box has stuff its trying find and below all the stuff it can't find one after the other. and I can't find any of the textures and all the entities are boxes.

And when I go to map properties I can't find the files I think it needs from the Quake files like the fdg. 

 

info_player:

go on preferences and "choose" your "quake path" (its Quake main folder) that will fix the
entities.

here explain it better (its the second step)

as for the textures you need go to
edit>Map Properties
