Func_Msgboard: The TrenchBroom Level Editor

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/01 18:37:12

Today I am releasing TrenchBroom 1.0 for Windows and Mac OS X. TrenchBroom is a modern cross-platform level editor for Quake.

Features
- True 3D editing, no 2D views required
- High performance renderer with support for huge maps
- Vertex editing with edge and face splitting
- Manipulation of multiple vertices at once (great for trisoup editing)
- Smart clip tool
- Move, rotate and flip brushes and entities
- Precise texture lock for all operations
- Smart entity property editors
- Graphical entity browser with drag and drop support
- Comprehensive texture application and manipulation tools
- Search and filter functions
- Unlimited undo and redo
- Point file support
- Automatic backup
- Support for .def and .fdg files, mods and multiple wad files
- Free (as in beer) and open source (GPLv3)
- Cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux supported)

Check out a video of TrenchBroom in action here.

You can download the editor here.

If you would like to give feedback, please do that in this thread. If you find a bug or have a feature suggestion, please submit them at the issue tracker.

If you are wondering where the Linux binaries are then sorry, but currently there are none. The Linux version has a few problems which I could not fix before this release. I will get working on those right away so that the Linux version should be available in a couple of weeks, too.

Finally, I would like to thank necros for all his work over the past year. Without his tireless efforts, TrenchBroom would simply not exist. Or it would suck.

Alright, enough of this. Have fun with the editor!

Update: 2.1 here:

Features "cool shit".

Nice, cheers guys.
Spuds idea of the "Issues" tab reveals the entities nicely so that should be a fine work-around

Func_detail Button?

#2615 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2017/08/04 01:27:18

After this latest jam it has come to mind that almost every brush in say: Skacky's or sock's maps are func_detail. greatly decreasing vis times obviously. I wonder if it would be possible to have a toggle button similar to texture lock where as you create brushes they are added as func_detail automatically. I think ideally this would be added to the map "under the hood" and not displayed in the editor by default. I also think it should be independent of groups/layers.

Or perhaps a "Seal Brush" command would be smarter? Every brush is automatically func_detail (again behind the scenes) and you select brushes and remove this attribute as needed to seal your map.

Posting here for discussion first before entering this on Github.

I have a submission for a "Default Entity Hotkey"

One hotkey for turning a brush into the desired brush entity and another for placing the desired point entity.

...or copy behavior from JACK, where you can set what default brush is. You basically type func name and every new brush will be automatically set as specified func.

It's more universal this way, so you can use it in Q2 HL etc.

I guess the best way to do this currently is to use layers correctly and select "all in layer" and make them func_detail all at once. I'm just not in the habit of using layers. I only use them for large areas and troublesome brushes.

Upgrade

To upgrade TB2 from build 2f3c498 to RC4, can I overwrite or is it better to do a fresh install?

could you add support for Kingpin loc

Failed To Copy Log

#2622 posted by mjb on 2017/08/10 12:42:45

When trying to open any map, I am get this error.

Failed to copy the file (AppData/Roaming/TrenchBroom/TrenchBroom.log to "My Documents/trenchbroom-crash.log (error 3: the system cannot find the path specified.)

I can get to this path that TB cannot find so I am confused here. Is there a way to reset where TB thinks the log file is or can tell TB to generate a new one?

Thanks for any assistance.

Hmm

#2623 posted by SleepwalkR on 2017/08/10 14:28:14

It looks like TB actually crashes every time you are opening a map, and then fails to copy the log. Does it really happen with any map file? Can you post the log file?

Also

#2624 posted by SleepwalkR on 2017/08/10 14:31:12

What does "I am get this error" mean, exactly? Is it a dialog? Can you please post a screenshot?

#2625 posted by mjb on 2017/08/10 14:57:30

Yes it is crashing every time I open a map, even a brand new one. I sent you a message on Twitter so we can discuss at a better pace.

I am get this error was a typo and I meant: "I am getting this error." Which is an error dialog window that prompts when I try to load any map, old or new.

Please Keep It To Github Issues

#2626 posted by SleepwalkR on 2017/08/10 15:23:16

I don't use Twitter that much, and I need to track issues in a single place.

From That Screenshot

#2627 posted by SleepwalkR on 2017/08/10 15:29:12

It looks like you moved your user data directory to a network location and that's not supported by the underlying library that TB uses.

#2628 posted by mjb on 2017/08/10 15:41:33

Yes that would be what occurred although not my intention of course. I submitted an issue on GitHub.

Thanks!

Yeah, Let's Continue On Github.

Packages

#2630 posted by huuhman on 2017/08/24 15:33:12

I realise you have release packages on github but are there plans for official packages via distro repos? (debian/fedora/arch) or via copr/aur perhaps?

If Someone Is Willing To Contribute

#2631 posted by SleepwalkR on 2017/08/24 19:34:43

I'm all for it once we reach 2.0.0. But I don't have the time to do it.

Understandable

#2632 posted by huuhman on 2017/08/25 14:45:35

I only ask because I can't compile on this machine & TB doesn't work via wine.

Thanks for all your efforts. Scale tool pls! :d

But There Are Debs And Rpms Available.

#2633 posted by SleepwalkR on 2017/08/25 16:53:55

Those don't require compilation, do they?

Need Zip Support

#2634 posted by Code_Man on 2017/08/31 19:47:44

Very nice editor im looking forward to use it.
However i would like to request support for pk3(zip) for loading texture packages and loading textures from q3 map files and if possible basic shader support too.

@Code_Man

#2635 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2017/08/31 20:07:39

I am waiting for this myself but I don't think this is close yet. The GitHub has and open ticket for it though. It would open up the editor to a ton more games that used the Q3 engine.

I've been waiting on Quake 3 support for years at this point. Not gonna pressure the man because he makes his program in his spare time and it's pretty rad so whatever. We can keep hoping. Only time will tell, and hopefully we can finally put that decrepit old Radiant in the ground. I'd honestly be curious to know what makes it so complicated. All I know is something something surfaces.

Sorry For Making You Wait ;-)

I'm sure it will be worth the wait. You haven't disappointed us so far.
