I made an error, the displacement will be gone in 1.1. Sorry! 

Heh, no worries! Thanks... 

I just realised that CTRL+D displaces by a small amount rather than the huge amounts that Copy and Paste are doing... I've wasted so much time (also, if you're duping brushes you're moving it somewhere else, plus it's better that it displaces so that you don't accidentally dupe multiple times without noticing). 

You'd think that, logically, but my experience says otherwise. Over time it becomes far easier to dupe in place and then move it since at least one of the axis that it got bumped on is going to be wrong. 

yeah, that is my experience with it also. I almost always follow a Ctrl+D with a Up and Left to push the brush back to the original spot. 

There is something like this in Quark.
The big difference with quark vs (afaik) all other editors is that there is a tree view of the entire map where you see individual entities and brushes as nodes in the tree, grouped by brush entities or user made group folders.

entities that are defined in a certain way (for example: trigger_relay, trigger_counter) do not appear in the map at all, only in the tree view. Since quark407 was the first editor I used, I was really confused about how script entities were like when I went over to radiant.
I actually still find them very cumbersome having all these boxes floating around with lines going everywhere. They are a very poor method of doing any kind of scripting.

There is a downside though: when you load a map like this in other editors, you end up with a giant pile of overlapping script entities all at '0 0 0'. :\ 

This looks really interesting! Is there any plans to support other closely related Quake1-engine games? Specifically: Hexen 2?
I REALLY need a better editor for the levels I am making... 

Quake 2 and 3 are on my todo list. You're the second person to ask for Hexen 2 support. I have no idea what would be necessary to support that game though. But I'll look into it once I start supporting other games. 

I think all it takes to make it support a wide variety of (id-engine) games are surface/brush flags and patches (curves). Everything else is a matter of having a proper fgd. Quest 2.4, for instance, supported HL, Hexen 2, Sin, and several Q1-3 mods out of the box with this additional fuctionality.

Having some visual representation of entity linking would be nice (target#/killtarget#->targetname#) of course, it would have to be toggleable to avoid a mess. necros, I usually place script entities close to their area of action for easier accessiblity. But, yes, things like relay and counters can be at 0 0 0, or even lack an origin field altogether. However, the editor must have an entity list then (TB needs one, too, if it doesn't have it already). 

There will be a Quark-like tree of everything the map contains in a future version.

Target link visualization is also on my todo list. 

Again can't run.

And then there is the same window with an error that is repeated many times 

Sorry if I asked you before, but what's your OS, graphics card and driver? I'll create a report for it, maybe I can fix it. 

Windows 7 Pro
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 Series
Driver:
Provider: ATI Technologies Inc.
date: 04.08.2009
Version: 8.635.0.0 

Win 7 x64 

I suggest you update it. I have seen crash bugs go away for several people after they updated their drivers. Just ask Scampie ;-)

Yes, now run. Thanks! 

Have fun with it!

Why is it called Trenchbroom anyway? 

Ah, I forgot about Quark. Only used it briefly since I started with WC. Tree view sounds about right.

Maybe to mitigate the downside new logic entities could be offset 16 units, even though they're not seen. 

This is just a hobby for me, and I'm happy if people like the editor (and use it to create maps). I doubt I'd get a lot of money from it, and I don't really need it, either. Not that I'm rich, but I have a job that's paid well enough to support me and my family. 

Nobody has asked because these crusty Quake senior citizens already know the answer.

Back in the day, one of the most popular and respected deathmatch map review sites was RAMSHACKLE. You can view an archive of the site here: http://bit7.org/quake/mirrors/ramshackle/

The author of the reviews, Jeff Yost, was quite fond of using the term 'Trench Broom' to describe the double-barreled shotgun. Of course, the phrase has its origins elsewhere, but Jeff placed in the collective Quake consciousness via his entertaining reviews. 

The name "TrenchBroom" is in reference to The Ramshackle, a Quake DM map review site by Jeff Yost. He kept referring to one of the Quake weapons (either the Shotgun or the GL) as "TrenchBroom".

I like the sound of the word, also it's rare enough that it's google friendly, and it references a Quake website that has been defunct for > 10 years now.

What's not to like? 

First of all, good work with the editor! I love the simplified 1-view only interface.
So, I decided to make something for Q1 again after 10+ years and one thing that confuses me are entity properties. I know I can add new keys, but shouldn't there be some predefined keys for let's say trigger_once? Is there any way to find which keys a specific entity has?
