I assisted with the linux packaging and while I can't speak for Sleep I think there are two thing to consider.

One, in order to distribute a package he will have to build it himself and cannot take a pre-built package from "somebody on the internet". No offense though.

The other thing is that there are already 5 distribution packages to manage for every release. Before adding another one it might be wise to look at a cross distribution build and repository service like the one from opensuse. (https://build.opensuse.org/) 

Request it on github 

So after downloading the newest version, I've noticed the control scheme for extruding a face, ie. adding a vertex to the center of a face seem to be different.

I can't seem to add a new vertex to a face anymore, I have to hold shift, click on the edge of a brush, then extrude the new vertex up or down with alt, then drag it over to the center of the face. I used to be able to just click anywhere on the face and add a vertex, but this doesn't work anymore... 

The control scheme has changed. You should be able to pull verts from faces at grid points, but there‘s a bug that makes this unreliable. Will be fixed soon. 

works on 10.9.5 though 

 

I wanna cry :( description in website still states 10.6? I guess that's for Trenchbroom 1 

How many .dll files do I need to download to get it to work on Windows 8 (64 bit)?
Downloaded the redistributable, but it didn't help.. 

It should run out of the box with the (correct) redistributive installed. 

The editor and compiling tools depend on some additional files from Microsoft: Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio

Both the 2013 and 2015 versions.

For TrenchBroom:

For ericw-tools:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Install both of these - even though they are quite similar - you'll need both. After that you should be good to go. 

gave me the chance to prattle about TB and Quake for a bit.

Very cool coverage and insights. I had no idea it dated back to 2010. Wow. 

GoldSrc support please. 

 

Any idea where to download map compiling tools for mac? I can only find tools for Quake 1 but not for 2 :/

You want the "Darwin" download I think. 

Oh sorry that's for Quake 1, I misread your question. 

I'm one of those mappers who likes flipping back and forth between a map I'm working on and maps I'm referencing. Is this possible or can I only open one map at a time? 

On Mac and Linux, this is not a problem. On Windows, TB is a single document interface app, meaning you can only open one map at a time. But to offset this, you can open multiple instances of TB for different maps on Windows. 

Thanks. 

I usually have 2 TBs open, you can copy-paste from one to the other, so it's basically the same as having two maps open. 

I got a notification that my feature request (targetname autocomplete) was closed on the issue tracker. I assumed it was being put on the backburner for the drive to expand the range of supported games. So you can imagine my surprise and delight to upgrade to the release version and find it present! It's already proved valuable in creating one short map hack, so thank you for this and all the rest of the work on the editor. 

He implemented it, I only reviewed it. 

With bugfixes and minor improvements: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2.0.1 

But the info_teleport_destination model is displayed about 32 units underneath the the entity's bounding box.
