Hi Digs,

I think you can use the following hack to get your message to display:

Use this hack to create a trigger with your message, which gets spawned when the Vore dies. You'll need to make sure that the trigger is so big that the player will hit it straight away - why not make it the size of the whole map! 

Thank you very much! This is a very interesting decision. I will try to use it in the future when the opportunity arises. But I already sent the map for which it was necessary. Therefore, now only the next time. Thanks again 

And would point me in the right direction for tools of the trade, wanted to start making maps for a long time, just lurked around for almost a year... 

Trenchbroom is available for linux:
https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases
As well as EricW's compilers:
https://ericwa.github.io/ericw-tools/

I don't use Linux, but this is what I'm using currently for mapping and am pretty happy with it. 

Does anyone have a pipeline going from Trenchbroom to unreal engine 4? Or failing that, is there a good way to “map” in unreal engine 4 in a vaguely “quakey” manner? 

Don't have any experience with it myself, but you might want to check out HammUEr:

HammUEr will be your best bet, me thinks. I havent used it personally but it very much seems to be worth the money. 

That’s a terrible name for something that looks really good. Thanks! Will look into it. 

Is there any resource that could help me find a way to change gravity in Quake2 midmap? Either a tutorial on how to create such a custom entity, a way to alter the existing trigger_gravity in order to affect players as well, or some other way?

Thanks 

I'm trying to make a Threewave map. Does anyone know where to find the FGD/DEF files for use with TrenchBroom or another Level Editor? They don't seem to be anywhere. 

How would I create a door that rises upwards when activated by a key? I am using Trenchbroom 2. 

Good question about CTF.

As far as I know, back in the day CTF mappers would just edit their own copy of the fgd to define a few more entities, because there weren't that many new entities to add & they didn't have many interesting keys to set on them.

(Or even manually edit the map file to add the entities.)

You have item_flag_team1 and item_flag_team2 for the red/blue flags. Then info_player_team1 and info_player_team2 for the initial spawns. The spawn entities could have the angle key set to determine their facing. That's about it.

For respawns after the initial team spawns, that just used normal info_player_deathmatch entities. 

Are they just the normal quake runes? Or is there a different info? 

Runes will automatically spawn at randomly selected info_player_deathmatch locations. 

Hello folks,

My goal: Have an explosive box blow a hole in a wall. Simply deleting a brush is all I'm looking for.

The following image shows what I've got:

I've tried to directly "target" and "killtarget" the func_wall from the misc_explobox, and I've tried throwing a trigger_relay in the middle because some Quake wiki mentioned it. Tried a short delay and I can't really justify why, just throwing things at the func_wall and hoping something sticks. I'm considering using a silent, instantaneous func_plat to "disappear", but there must be a more elegant solution.

Thanks for reading my post 

Create a func_door, choose the appropriate spawnflag for the key color you want and then give the value -1 for the angle key. (If you want the door to go down, give the value -2.) 

I have no idea, logic looks sensible to me. But the first thing I'd do is troubleshoot the explodobox, replace it with a button and see if that works. If it does and there's an issue with explodoboxes targetting stuff, then put an invisible shootable button beneath the explodobox and have that killtarget the func wall?
