Congrats on the release! 

Check out this cute video of the busy bee Sleepy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49QAf5JmzgA

Incidentally, it looks like some sort of indie game waiting to be made. So someone go for it! 

Esp. because it really starts at the beginning when I did the mac only version. 

Just downloaded and tried on the map I was working on...and I am just in awe. This is going to simplify the already simple to use tools! The texture alignment, some basic CSG operations, just incredible man! 

Sweet its out in the wild now! Nicely done Sleep! 

That video is awesome. I like how everything explodes in mid 2012.

Yeah I don't know about your don quijote feelings man. TB is one of the reasons that got me interested in quake again. 

 

yeah, the texture alignment is one of those really amazing things you wonder why no one did before. it makes aligning stuff almost trivial. 

When I click "Entity" or "Face" tab, TB2 crashes. This happens in Q or Q2 mode with game path set.

Bug submitted on GitHub. 

 

Am probably going to do a fresh OS (Linux) install soon, and hence will have to install TB2 again. Should (/can) I do the same kind of install-via-github thing I did for the alpha, or just grab the deb package from the TB website?

A hypothetical question: I haven't looked at the beta yet; been having some issues with my primary computer, but if I were to do the git pull etc. thing from within the latest alpha build that I have, would I end up with the same version of TB2 as is in the beta deb package (I can't test this myself at the moment unfortunately)? 

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious but ... how do you name a map in TrenchBroom?

When I create a map then play and save it, the saved game has no name. 

It depends on what you want. If you are fine with using only the betas and not using the alphas that may or may not be released in between, then you can just install the packages from the website.

Otherwise, you can do the same thing as before. However, fixes that are implemented during the beta process will live in the release/v2.0.0 branch and may only occasionally get merged into the develop branch. The merging happens at the latest when the 2.0.0 stable version is released, though.

Sorry to tell you that in the future, we will be using the git flow branching model which makes things more complicated for you.

That does look intimidating. But by "in the future" you mean "not yet", right? As in, for now I can continue exactly as before?

I'd really like to try and keep up with the intermediate bugfixes, and I'll try to understand the git flow stuff.

Thank you for releasing the Linux deb and rpm packages, though. It's really good to have that to fall back on, and I really appreciate it when developers don't expect Linux users to be tech experts. 

key:message
value:yourmapname 

You need to add a value to the "message" key of your worldspawn brushes. The "message" will be the name of the level displayed in-game when you hit tab, and in the saved game menu. 

 

 

Thanks DeeDoubleU and total_newbie, much appreciated :)

No, this is as of now. I can also give you access to dropbox if you want to try the intermittent alpha builds. You'll need a dropbox account and you'll need to give me the associated email address. 

I can't select objects in 2d view or move them around using the mouse (I can only move objects with the arrow keys).

Anyone else having this problem? 

 

Try top left button "disable current tool". 

Nope, changing tool mode doesnt do anything for me. I think I pressed tab to get a little hand icon and then after that it stopped working?
