also, i'm having one more related issue, there is this old compiling profile that i wan't to delete, but i can't, it crashes trenchbroom instantly.

This is not a known issue. Can you please submit a crash report on github that includes the file which contain your compilation profiles for Quake? The file is named "CompilationProfiles.cfg" and where exactly you can find it depends on the platform. 

I figured the two issues to be related to one another? Settings not saving or deleting?

nice

i will continue to report new crashes

RC1 is crashing a lot less than the previous builds 

It's fantastic to see how much progress has been made, thanks SleepwalkR and everyone else involved.

Could you also provide SHA256's alongside the releases? pretty please

Getting fewer bug reports lately... either it's getting stable, or fewer people use TB. 

its defintely getting more stable and i cant wait for you to start hammering out those 2.1 features ;) 

 

Glad to hear it. 

I dipped into tb2 a bit more recently. Will probably consider changing to it full time on my main machine. The ui stuff is a bit cramped on my surface though 

 

Thanks, unfortunately MD5 has been unsafe for quite a long time now.

I apologize for not contributing but I'm away from my desktop and there's no release for my current os. (I've never had much luck compiling) 

So that's all I can do. Anyway, I think these checksums can only ever be used to verify the integrity of the downloaded file. They cannot be used to check whether the file was tampered with on the server. If someone was able to do that, they would also be able to change the checksum files. 

Still a bit of a Github Noob, even after all this time spent submitting TB issues (over 30 now I think!), so I'm not sure if contributing a comment to a closed issue will be seen...

Yep, I get notifications on Github and emails for comments on closed issues, should be the same for SleepwalkR 

could some one explain to me how to add textures to trenchbroom (q2)? I have a a .png of Duke Nukem 3D textures, and i would like to add those to my map 

https://www.quaddicted.com/files/tools/wally_155b.exe

Wally will let you convert/export that .png to the Quake2 .wal format.

Just open it up in Wally, and File>Export to .wal.

Wally will also be what youll want to use to edit and make your own textures and texture packs, etc. Its a really good, stable tool.

thanks, but how to add the textures to trenchbroom so it will appear there? 

If you want to provide your own custom textures, you need to put them in a subdirectory where TrenchBroom can find them. For Quake 2, this means that you need to create a subdirectory called textures in the directory of the mod you're mapping for, or in the baseq2 directory. Then you need to create another subdirectory with a name of your choice. Then you copy your texture files into that directory. TrenchBroom will then find that directory (possibly after restarting the editor) and allow you to load the textures from there.

the textures are in baseq2 in a folder called 'textures', but any of then appear in trenchbroom.

I thought that textures had to be stored in a certain file to be added in. don't they? 

My TB2 installation is not up to date, so maybe something has changed in the mean time, but try this:

Open TB2. On the right hand side, where you have "Map", "Entity" and "Face", go to "Face" and then below you'll find "Texture collections". Click on it and then on the "+" to browse your computer's drive to add texture files. Doesn't matter where they are located, as long as you point TB2 to the relevant directory.
