I appreciate the reply and the reasoning too. Sometimes we non-coders have no idea how much work is involved for these little asks. :) 

Despite appearances, I appreciate all feature requests and bug reports ;-)

But it's hard to balance it with the greater picture and vision for TB, which is heading from pure Quake 1 editor into a more generic direction to expand the user base, and hopefully, the number of contributors. 

Auto detect map format instead of failing if Standard was chosen instead of Valve. 

Scale entity labels with icon size or add separate label size option in preferences. 

Remember view settings when reopening TB, e.g. whether to show edges.

Not really sure what to suggest about the dichotomy of having a view menu up top and a view button down lower that both have two different sets of options...combine somehow or at the very least add a dropdown character on the View button for the label like so: View↓ 

When I open up the Trenchbroom, The program is missing MSVCP140.dll. What do I do?!

Did you install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015, like it said on the page? If not, this will do the trick! 

When parsing an FGD file, the parser fails to concatenate strings using the + character on tooltip/description texts. Even worse, it fails to load the entire .fgd rather than skipping on to the next valid entry or at least keeping all the parsed entities before it had encountered the error. No entities load from the affected .fgd. Example:

@PointClass base(MonShort) studio("progs/mon_knight.mdl") = monster_knight : "Knight. Uses upgraded AD model." +
" Part of the Death Brigade. Stronger than a death guard but still" +
" useful for early on axe combat. Capable of starting as a statue which uses a stone skin." [
spawnflags(flags) = [
2 : "Stone Statue" : 0
4 : "Not Frozen" : 0
]
frame(integer) : "Statue Pose def=44" : : "Override statue pose"
pos1(string) : "Statue Idle range" : : "X->Y, Z=0 ; Idle animation range to pick from"
]

Error message:
Could not load external entity definition file 'games\Quake\JACK_Keep.fgd': Expected '[', but got integer (raw data: '+') [line 2606, column 112] 

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who contributed fixes and issue reports! 

Does this release include Quake 3 support? :) 

Sweet! 

But I believe it's on the front burner or will be in the near term.

Check this shear insanity. 

 

Shearly not! That feature is impressive on a scale we haven't seen before!! 

 

Just the fact it shears entity locations alone blows all other editors out of the water! 

Been using github builds for things like scale/shear for a few months now, they're really useful features. Looking at the other features here, 2.1.0 is shaping up to be an awesome release! 

YESSSSS. Gonna ruin everything in my maps with this :D 

It keeps deleting the file, can't move it or anything. 

 

Malwarebytes has been wont to quarantine TB2 github builds for me in recent times for me as well, calling them cryptolockers or something when I try and save...

A pain but not a big deal for me. Good luck with figuring out how to whitelist things in Windows Defender 

After installing the visual pack, I attempted to run Trenchbroom but it shows me that error. HELP! 

says it's clean.
