was able to follow dumptruck_ds tutorial on youtube and create a simple square map, was able to edit, compile, and play the map, no leaks or errors. Then i turn my computer on today and load up TrenchBroom and when i load my map, to goes into fullscreen and its a pure white screen and its (Not Responding).
it wont even load a new blank map.

Hi everyone, I'm learning TB, trying to follow the in-app introduction, to get used to the UI. I'm liking it so far, but I hit a stubling block. I can't get TB to point to the mods, entities and textures. Rather, I can't FIND the resources. I'm trying to create Enemy Territory and/or Urban Terror maps on a Linux Mint machine (64 bit). I can't find any FGD, DEF or ENT files, no textures, no mods, nothing. I've looked in and pointed to every directory I can think of, but TB just won't load any resources. Any help or tips would be appreciated. Thanks. 

I stumbled around and was able to find some of the resources I needed for now. (I'm sure I'll have mmore questions in the weeks to come.) 

You can have thousands of those and still compile without any errors.
But building on grid is cleaner, so try to do all your non-integer stuff in func_details or _walls, while keeping the sealing geometry simple. 

Thanks! :) 

Howdy strangers,
I'm trying to set up the following (I use Trenchbroom, target is fairly vanilla Quake map, no mods needed):
I want a platform to wait at the, lets call it, bottom floor. The player is at a higher elevation, lets say second floor.
Then, once you kill a certain monster (targets the func_plat) up there on the second floor, it triggers that platform on the bottom floor to go up to the second floor. On the platform, one monsters stands and rides along with the platform. Once you kill this monster you are able to trigger the platform to go down to the bottom floor again.
How do I set this up.
I thought I'd do it with a simple func_plat, 2 path corners, have that func_plat wait at the bottom, then move it up but I just cant make it happen the way I described.
Any hints, tips would be appreciated. Thanx 

I think if you make it a door, set it to toggle, and both monster's deaths target that door's targetname. This assumes you must kill the monsters in a specific order. 

Reminder that func_plat and func_door do not use path corners. Take a look at part 3 of my entity tutorials for more info on toggling doors and using func_doors for plats. https://youtu.be/TQ8MN8V0JuE 

I followed this guide by Preach on forcing the player's weapons out of their inventory: https://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=37116&start=70
and it works, it's just that upon hitting the door made to remove everything, that message appears in the top left corner and the console. I really don't want it there. What do I do? 

And just for clarification, I also implemented the extra info_notnull that forces blank lines in the console, getting rid of the message, but I'd rather know and deal with what's causing the sv_startsound error. 

Sv_startsounds is a commen error when modding for quake. It are the first lines in the weapons.qc that precache sounds under void()W_Precache. They are used for the weapon sounds.

If you realy hate it, find the used sound and precache it right. 

^Sheeet, that's a hair over my head for now considering I've already bandaged it. I'll deal with it later, thanks for letting me know what was up nonetheless. 

Add noise1, noise2, noise3 & noise4 fields and set them all to "misc/null.wav" 

^Thanks, nameless hero. 

Hi guys.

Is there any way to fix x an y axis in UV editor.
For some reason the texture in my 45 degree face is
sheared. 

Hi guys.

sheared. 

If it is angled on more than one axis, it might not be solvable in standard quake map format.

However, in Trenchbroom you should be able to solve it in "Valve Texture Mode" 

https://imgur.com/oaU4jd5 here is a pic to clarify. 

How do you do this in valve format? 

And how can one change the map format afterwards?
I tried to copy and paste the map to a new valve format map but the editor states an error.

Could not parse clipboard contents: At line 1, column 1: Expected '{', but got string (raw data: 'Texture')
