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. 

No that's normal. Set in the FBD that way I believe. Not sure why. Don't go by the model. Go by the Bbox and you're good. 

n/t 

One thing the QuakeC does is moves every info_teleport_destination 32 units upwards from its starting point. I guess that the bounding box is accounting for this but the model isn't/can't? 

Is there no hack to bring the model in line with the bbox? Kind of annoying to look at. 

There might be a sensible way, if it bugs you enough to accept a local fix you could: create a copy of the player model that's raised by 32 units, then reference that copy of the model in the FGD definition of info_teleport_destination. 

I’ll probably try that. Thanks Preach.
