Honestly, I don't mind and it's not that big of a deal in the first place, but a) the question could have garnered more editor-independent answers than Mukor's TB-specific reply and b) I know people here can be a little sensitive over this kind of things. 

Thanks for sharing your technique Muk!

Would have been great to have had this when I was banging my head on how to create them last year! 

maybe we went a little offtopic

"face convex merging"
is this a feature? i didn't see it in the help

this software is very intuitive and full of shortcuts to save time

in a few days and aprox 6 hours of fiddling and some reading i'm getting confortable with shaping this simple brushes

Convex merge is a fantastic feature and it looks like you already got the hang of it! To be honest, I don't know if I realized face selection would work with merging but I assume it is intended.

Keep going topher! 

Is the lag when clipping a large amount of brushes at once a known issue?

I ask because although I've been living with it for a while (like many tb2 bugs - I'm really bad at reporting in a timely manner...), the more I trisoup for this map, the more of my time it takes up. It'd be nice to at least have a "won't fix" response, but I'm skeptical of submitting an issue because it may simply be something that comes with the territory of the operation... 

I have encountered this before, sometimes it can happen with just a large brush that I am cutting in half. A bit random at times but infrequent enough that I never regarded it as an issue.

Doesn't hurt to submit an issue regardless. 

Seriously. I'm providing this app for free. The only price you have to pay is reporting the issues you find. Let me decide whether or not they are relevant. Don't sit on issues out of doubt whether they are issues or not.

Thank you! :D 

I have this irrational fear of annoying people by filling up their issue tracker... If I were running the project, I'd be obsessed with getting the open tickets down to 0 at all times...

I need to stop projecting. 

Noticing some... aliasing? is that the right word?

Noticing it on the version you just linked Eric.

JUUUUST opened it up so thats all I have for now. Ill be getting intimate with TB over the next few hours and Ill report back here or go straight to github with anything else. 

on macOS.

Is the "previous build" the one I linked to in November, 3cb0140 ? 

https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/1560 

Yeah, my bad, i couldve been clearer on "previous build". But yep, the last version you linked me was without the aliasing issue present in the current build. 

Well thanks for letting me flex my computer know how!

i figured out I can set up AA for specific programs through my video settings! 

Unfortunately, we'll never get it down to 0 anyway. Don't worry about it. The issue tracker is more like a todo list. 

Yep, lack of AA on the latest linked build.

However, I did try to reproduce the crash on map switch that I reported and I could not get it to crash! 

my mac is running osx 10.6.8 with opengl2.1 and glsl1.2 - when i run trenchbroom 2.0 out of my applications folder it gives me an error saying not compatible with this version mac. any suggestions? i am looking forward to using trenchbroom to work on quake 2 maps in particular. thank you for making this software - really appreciate the time and care you are putting in. 

I think you need 10.9bor later. 

Are the appveyor builds supposed to be usable? Or do I still need to rely on the guru/wizards of this thread for new builds of TB? I tried downloading the "Latest Build" from there, but it seems to be gutted and non-functional - no art (logo, icons), supported games list is empty, etc. 

The recent build is without a build number. I dont think that specific build is to be usable at the moment.

A new build with the fixed context menus would be cool, though. AA can wait as one can set it through their video settings. Im interested in using https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/1526 and https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/1527 

Pritchard, they should be usable, however, the "Latest build" button in Appveyor is not reliable at the moment, because it includes test builds for feature branches. It looks like a change earlier today may have caused the "gutted and non-functional" breakage.. I will check it out.

@mukor, the f7fe54e build I posted yesterday should have those two features for the key/value editor :)

There have been a lot of fixes today so I hope to post an updated build tomorrow. 

I used to get the latest builds of 2.x off sleepwalker's Dropbox. Where can I get the latest builds for PC? I'm a bit lost on github and cannot compile the code.

Right now I am using the build from the website (2f3c498?) 

TrenchBroom-Win32-2.0.0-Interim-0e1a90a-RelWithDebInfo.7z

The pauses Pritchard reported when clipping, the entities in the right click menu, and antialiasing are fixed, plus some other fixes in the issue tracker.
