It should have been saved in ANSI.
I will try to save in Unicode and use notepad if it doesn't work. 

So. This challange is masterd.
For no reasons, the widows editor saves automaticly in UTF-8. So I changed that in ANSI and now theres a trigger_cdtrack in trenchbroom.:)
That's the good news.
The other is that I was wrong about the compiling.

Whatever progs.dat I decompile and recompile ,with fteqccgui64, I get messages like this:"defs.qc:328: error: "ev_field" is not a type in function SUB_CalcMove (line 61), subs.qc:66: error: Unknown value "tspeed"Errors have occured Error in defs.qc on line 328."
The funny thing is that fteqcc shows erros, but
the progs work.

I have absolutly no idea what happens here. 

Built from the source. Now it works. 

how check max entities limin in trenchbroom? 

Please can someone help me I tried to convert a .bsp2 map to .bsp1 for a game that uses the Quake 1 Engine, but it gives me error ModLoadBrushModel has wrong version number .... should be 29, how can I solve? 

Hi.
Yesterday I got a fascinating problem.
Got the message Alloc Block: full and started to solve the problem like usual.

replaced every bad texture. -nothing
deleted or repaired every unclean brush. - nothing
deleted over 60 lights. -nothing
deleted all trenchbroom autosaves. -nothing
deleted all the maps .bsp, .lit, config,... and recompiled the map. -nothing

Sollution:
Deleted Quakespasm and reinstalled. No Error anymore.

Has anyone an idea what happend?

I'm wondering whether you may have replaced an older version of QuakeSpasm with a newer version? The newest is 0.93.2, released November 2019.

From the thread dumptruck_ds linked:

metlslime: This is caused by lightmaps.

From the README for QuakeSpasm 0.93.2:

Lightmaps are now dynamically allocated (from QSS), and BLOCK_WIDTH/HEIGHT raised from 128 to 256.

So if you replaced an older version with 0.93.2, I guess this would be why that error went away? 

Ahhh, enlightened!

I installed the newest version.
So it is a change in Quakespam.

Thank you very much.

best wishes. 

Who said trisouping can only be used for terrain?

Hi guys, nearly got my new Q2 map ready for playtesting but struggling with a particular issue.

I'm using the Lazarus misc_actor to have a friendly marine attack some Strogg enemies but I want the friendly guy to stand still in one place while he shoots the bad guys.

I'm using the "Hold" spawnflag on the target_anger to achieve this:

HOLD Spawnflag (=16)
The target_anger will cause the misc_actor/monster_* to stand in place and not run around.

...but it seems to have no effect. The actor runs around trying to get close to the Strogg and, while he will occasionally shoot them, when he happens to find himself with a suitable angle to do so, he's largely useless and stupid.

Has anyone here used this feature in Lazarus and managed to get the actor to stand still when he's told to? 

Hi,
New and signed up just for this! Really enjoying my first foray in mapping for quake.
As per title, I know you can make multi direction elevators with progs_dump mod (dowloaded from Dumptruck DS)
However I'm enjoying using AD mods for all the excellent extras it includes. - I cant figure out how to do it (multi level elevator) with AD!
Is there a way to combine mods? I can't find a way to do this anywhere either! ...or maybe a tutorial on how to customize my own mods and features / combine mods?
(on a side note, I spent 4 hours trying to raise/lower water into an electrified basement room!!! Urgh...failed)

Apologies if this has been asked before, please link to post if that's the case. Much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and I'll upload my maps in time! hopefully! 

1)NO combining MODS.

2)Load AD and type "map test_2floorplat"
in the console.

Map is in the AD maps folder. 

@damage_inc thanks for that will reverse engineer, This is a blast. 

Hey,

So I started mapping a few days ago and I've recently hit a brick wall. I've been working on a Quake map in Trenchbroom, compiling it with ericw-tools, and now suddenly, upon compiling, my map is just refusing to run and I have no idea why.

^ That is all I see upon compiling and attempting to run the map. I have a .BSP of my map, it IS in the correct location, I can run an older version of my map and the default maps, but for no apparent reason Quake has just decided to not let me run my map anymore. Using the console and typing "map mymapname" leads to the same result as the image posted above.

I have no idea what the solution is and would appreciate some help because I can't test my map anymore until this is resolved. 

Running any mod or is this vanilla id1? 

Some Googling says:

This is also the error given when giving a func_plat a negative "height" value. 

Yeah got it now, thank you. I wasn't aware that you couldn't reverse the direction of a func_plat with a negative integer, that's why the game was freaking out.
