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.
In log file many lines like: 5228 2013-03-05 14:28:30: Loading 'progs/player.mdl' (searching ) 5228 2013-03-05 14:28:30: Unable to find MDL 'progs/player.mdl' In the end: WARNING: 30:1: implicit cast from int to float 5228 2013-03-05 14:28:31: Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked. 5228 2013-03-05 14:28:31: Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked. WARNING: 30:1: implicit cast from int to float 5228 2013-03-05 14:28:31: Fragment shader(s) linked, vertex shader(s) linked. 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 I suggest you update it. I have seen crash bugs go away for several people after they updated their drivers. Just ask Scampie ;-)
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/legacy/Pages/legacy-radeonaiw-vista64.aspx 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? Ok, I was lazy and didn't bother to read previous comments.
Only the last question remains: Is there any way to find which keys a specific entity has? Or should I check other editors for reference? Thanks and keep on with the work :) Right now, this information is not displayed in TB. I plan to greatly improve entity editing support, but it will take a while. For now, you can open the Quake.fgd file and look at it.
It also brings about a decent productivity boost.
Firstly, the answer to the question of whether or not to translate an object created by using the standard duplicate operation is quite obvious. You should always move it away from the original object. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why people want it to remain in place for faster re-positioning, but I don't think this is the answer - the danger of leaving objects on top of each other is too high. Yes, if you're paying attention you're fine, but there's always a chance that you'll hit duplicate accidentally (or repeatedly), or that you'll get distracted for a while and forget you've cloned the object when you return. You are then left with unwanted brushes which you will not be aware of - as far as I can tell, brushes in TrenchBroom don't z-fight if they are placed on top of each other either (even if they have different textures applied). This makes it impossible to know there's a problem if you're not looking for it. Mr Fribbles, I don't want to hear problems, I want to hear solutions! OK, here's the answer (or a suggestion, at any rate): an additional set of commands (and corresponding shortcuts) to duplicate and offset the selected object(s) in one go. I would suggest the hotkey set listed below (opinion alert, I'd also remap some of the current ones!) LEFTARROW: move object left RIGHTARROW: move object right UPARROW: move object forward DOWNARROW: move object back CTRL+LEFTARROW: rotate object left CTRL+RIGHTARROW: rotate object right CTRL+UPARROW: move object up CTRL+DOWNARROW: move object down CTRL+SHIFT+LEFTARROW: duplicate object and move the clone left CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHTARROW: duplicate object and move the clone right CTRL+SHIFT+UPARROW: duplicate object and move the clone up CTRL+SHIFT+DOWNARROW: duplicate object and move the clone down Naturally you'd offset the object by the current grid amount (if snap to grid is on). If grid snap was off, pick your poison (a sensible default distance, or perhaps something clever such as offsetting the object by its width in the chosen direction!) Maybe the entire concept is not so good. Maybe it would be better to always duplicate objects just by dragging them, e.g. Ctrl+Drag will create a clone and move that.
OTOH, I wanted to use Ctrl+Drag to select multiple objects in a future version. But that could still be achieved if the drag starts with an unselected object. If it starts with a selected object, the selected objects would be cloned. (Because I done fucked up!)
LEFTARROW: move object left RIGHTARROW: move object right UPARROW: move object forward DOWNARROW: move object back CTRL+LEFTARROW: rotate object left CTRL+RIGHTARROW: rotate object right CTRL+UPARROW: move object up CTRL+DOWNARROW: move object down SHIFT+LEFTARROW: duplicate object and move the clone left SHIFT+RIGHTARROW: duplicate object and move the clone right SHIFT+UPARROW: duplicate object and move the clone forward SHIFT+DOWNARROW: duplicate object and move the clone back CTRL+SHIFT+LEFTARROW: duplicate object and rotate clone left CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHTTARROW: duplicate object and rotate clone right CTRL+SHIFT+UPARROW: duplicate object and move the clone up CTRL+SHIFT+DOWNARROW: duplicate object and move the clone down Combine these with well chosen grid settings and you will be an unstoppable Quake editing beast of righteous fury. have "duplicate offset" in the options menu
That way, (most i think?) people can set this as (0,0,0), whilst others who prefer it to be offset can give it a different value. Maybe the entire concept is not so good. Maybe it would be better to always duplicate objects just by dragging them, e.g. Ctrl+Drag will create a clone and move that. OTOH, I wanted to use Ctrl+Drag to select multiple objects in a future version. But that could still be achieved if the drag starts with an unselected object. If it starts with a selected object, the selected objects would be cloned. this sounds like an even better idea. Well I read the 'free for beer' part, and thought 'Well, I can't buy him a beer directly - where do I donate?!'. And I actually went looking for the Paypal donate button. But there was none. So....
If I thought of it, others must have (surely :) Maybe there'll be a few beers in it for you if you give us the means to buy you one! You see I tried the editor, and I was so impressed and excited that it's a live project, I thought it WAS worth a beer.
