And if dumptruck hasn't correctly guessed your issue, you'll need to describe the problem you're having in more detail so that folks can help.
Violent Rumble have weapons from rogue and hipnotic, monsters from Quoth and features like dp_200. Is it possible to make something like that without any coding?
no, you can't combine mods without some coding. You'd need the source code for each mod, and enough understanding to know what files to edit and how. (Also, Quoth source code was never released.)
Hi!
my friend lurq use JACK as editor, and it has a really nifty way of displaying what color each light source is, without clicking and reading the properties. See this image: https://blaps.se/qw/jack_lights.jpg - any way of getting this feature to TB? cheers, bps Hello
You could log an issue on Github, the Trenchbroom developer is quite resposive! I think it could be a good idea - there was talk of a real time lighting preview in Trenchbroom - not sure what became of that idea. Nonetheless - you can find it here: https://github.com/TrenchBroom/TrenchBroom Hi,
I've been fiddling around in TrenchBroom for just over a week now, making simple box maps to test mechanics as well as starting on a proper map. I've had some previous experience with Hammer. In a couple of instances now, TrenchBroom saves the document (.map-file) and I can restore the file with all edits apparently up to date. However, sometimes the documents seem to get "stuck", in that when try to compile them, it seems to compile an older version of the file. When this happens, I have found no way to proceed with the same Any ideas? What are you using to compile your Quake
Either way, some screenshots of the configs might help. Also, just in case, what engine you are loading your compiled maps in? I always manually export my
I guess you could try and run TB as administrator. Maybe it's a write permissions issue. Not sure. Hi just started exploring mapping with Quake and Trenchbroom and was wondering something.
Is it possible to bring Quake 2 entities over to Quake 1, and if so, is there a guide out there on how you could do this, or would anyone here be able to explain the process? (I'm not sure what kind of compatibility there is between the games.) Lastly, are you then able to use Trenchbroom to drop these entities into your Quake 1 map? Thanks for any advice! You'd need a QuakeC mod to implement the behaviors of the entities.
For example this mod does Quake 2 weapons: https://www.moddb.com/mods/q2m-quake-2-weapons-for-quake Once you have the mod, an FGD or DEF file specifically designed for that mod can be used with Trenchbroom so that the editor knows about those entities. At first glance that Q2M mod doesn't include an FGD or DEF, but it includes Python scripts that you can use to create those files? Kinda weird, maybe I'm misreading things. If you do end up wanting to map for that mod you could talk to its creator on moddb above, or in the Quaddicted forum here: https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=951 They're also present and active on the Quake Mapping discord server. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! Damn, that is definitely a sight more complicated than I had been hoping. XD Well it's cool to see others have had similar thoughts, even if that mod is specifically weapons so far. I think I'll stick with practicing mapping for now, but keep this in mind if I decide to try and dive off the deep end there. Thanks a heap for trying to help me figure it out and explaining what would be required!
I'm having issues loading my map up, for some reason every time it compiles and I press a key to launch it just doesn't do anything, never gives me an error or anything. I just checked my output and where my map is located and they are both correct. Here's what I'm getting every time I compile it this is what I get.

I'm new to Trenchbroom and wanted to make a map with a central elevator that goes up to a new floor, then the player needs to find a switch to let the elevator progress to the next floor. I know you can use doors as elevators, but from what I can see, they can only move between two points. Is there any way to achieve what I want to do here? Thanks! You need will need a mod for that.
I added this feature in Rubicon 2, so it's surely also in Alkaline -- you can set a flag on a func_train to stop at each point waiting to be triggered again. It's spawnflags "1" I'm sure that AD and progs_dump and Copper also have similar features but they may be implemented differently. In original game (ID1) you can't do multiple-floor elevators, at least the ones that are controlled with the buttons to call it up and/or down between the floors.
I know that Mission Pack 2 (ROGUE) has such an elevator, but nobody maps for the Mission Packs. Such elevator is also implemented in "progs_dump" mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTbkLP3B2FE progs_dump has the mission pack 2 style of elevators with a good sample map you can study and cut and paste from
AND progs_dump also has the func_train "wait for retrigger" method metlslime refers to as well You can find progs_dump 2 here and version 3 will be coming out next week come hell or high water. No later than the 27th (if all goes as planned) You are welcome to come to the dev Discord and ask questions! https://discord.gg/bd7n4v2Xmj One thing to note is that the trains changed between version 2 and 3 so you'll need to tweak this if you start with 2 and move to 3. |
