It might be a {fence texture on a func_illusionary that's one unit tall and textured with skip on the sides.

It might just be a texture that has blood splats on it.

It might be a func_illusionary with a self.model of "progs/s_blood.spr", but I doubt it since it would have to be precached. Not sure, but .angles would also need to be something like '0 0 90'. 

if I were to import my own blood decal, would it get stored in the map file when it compiles, i would really prefer to keep my map releases as a single file. 

If you use colored lights you will have a .lit file next to your map in the maps folder. FYI. If your stain map is a "fence" texture then yes you "bake" it into the bsp file. 

Hi! New guy here, eager to start mapping. I just downloaded TrenchBroom and set it up as the manual says from the download. I also downloaded the 0.92.1 version of Quakespasm from the site and am using it as the engine for the application. I'm new to mapping for Quake 1 so I decided to compile a small square room map with some random stuff on it to see if I set the tool up right and it compiled with no error message. As soon as I try to run the map via console command on Quakespasm, I get the error message "Mod_LoadBrushModel: maps/test2.bsp has wrong version number (1193291567 should be 29)".

I don't exactly know what I did wrong, I only made a few brushes and entities. The directories with the game path is set at the Quake 1 folder same thing with the engine with the Quakespasm executable. I'm using Tyrann's Quake 1 Tools (v0.15.11, not exactly sure if that's the newest or the most recommended.)

Here's what the compile window looks like.

I don't exactly know what I did wrong, would like some feedback. 

1193291567 == 0x47202F2F == "// g"

Looks like somehow you just renamed the .map to .bsp instead of actually compiling the thing. 

Yeah, about that. I'm guessing I need to play around with it a bit. I'm not that big into coding so I don't know what else to do to fix this. There was a screenshot of the compilation window inside the Trenchbroom manual, tried the parameters exactly as it was in it and I ended up just renaming it like what you said. 

Whoops, nevermind, got it working now, thanks for the response anyways. 

I am talking about arches like this:

I can create corners just fine but not something as complex as a proper arch. I just can't figure this out. Anyone have a tutorial?

See response above but also start playing with the vertex tool. There was a stream last week from Josh Skelly that really went into detail on his method. Go to the end of this video about 5:55:55 or so.

now I have a new problem. I am trying to make a switch open a door but the door won't stay open. How do I make it so that once the door has opened it stays that way? 

Set wait key to -1 

About the arch video though. I have figured out how to make the arches themselves but it ended up being taller than I wanted it to be. How do I calculate the arches in such a way as to make them the correct width and height? 

 

 

 

 

It is sometimes a good idea to make a wall or box of the height and width you want your resulting arch to be and use it as a guide to make sure you get the right sized arch for your doorway. This is especially helpful if you are using vertex manip to make an arch on a 45 degree angle. 

I had to reinstall windows so I backed up my map. But I made a mistake and backed up the bps instead of the map file! Is there a way I can turn the bsp back into a map file? 

Also, where can I get these textures: https://www.quakewiki.net/archives/speedy/textures.htm

The links are dead and google has given me no results :( 

Use this tool to convert from .bsp to .map

Drag and drop your .bsp file onto winbspc.exe
