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:

Windows Defender Thinks The .exe Is A Virus

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

Haha

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!

Windows defender identifies the file as containing a trojan "win32/Azden.b!cl"

Not sure what is going on but I can't seem to get around this as the files are immediately quarantined.

#2857 posted by ＰＲＩＴＣＨＡＲＤ on 2018/10/13 02:58:40

seems to be a heuristic detection, surely there's some way to whitelist it in WD?

#2858 posted by ericw on 2018/10/13 03:31:46

I get the same trojan warning in Win 10, with the latest windows defender data (today's).

Same

until it's fixed, you can un-quarantine TrenchBroom.exe:

New Version Is A Game-changer

#2861 posted by Ubiquitous on 2018/10/13 10:25:25

Just when you thought the most epic open source project of all time couldn't get any better ... the new version is amazing. Thanks, as always.

Most Epic?

#2862 posted by Qmaster on 2018/10/14 00:54:55

If you count features, lifespan, and number of users, Blender clearly wins that crown. But yes TB is awesome and more awesomner than ever.

#2863 posted by ericw on 2018/10/14 23:20:09

I got a response back from Microsoft saying they fixed the incorrect detection. Not sure how long it will take to make it into the windows defender virus definitions but they seem to be updated daily, so hopefully it's fixed soon.

Gonna make some maps full of dragonflies and frogs and create plenty of places for the sidekicks to get stuck.

Lovin' It.

Just wanted to say I'm really loving Trenchbroom and to thank you for all your hard work. Moving from the ancient Hexmaker editor, TB has revitalized mapping for me. The ability to select and edit multiple brushes at once is a HUGE time-saver and really makes things so much easier, not to mention the great 3D view functionality. I also find the face clone/extrude function very useful in setting up the initial arrangements of complex brush arrangements, in fact I think I actually use it more often than the brush creation tool.

Anyways, here's a imgur album of the Hexen 2 map I'm working on: https://imgur.com/a/49Bvhgs
It's getting pretty huge because of the BSP2 support I found in a custom version of uHexen2, but the use of detail brushes actually lets me do a full level 4 VIS compile in under 1 minute. O.o

Wow! A new map for Hexen2? And it looks awesome!!

I can't wait! =D

Thanks!

#2868 posted by SleepwalkR on 2018/10/30 06:15:49

I love hearing these stories!

Damn

#2869 posted by bal on 2018/10/30 08:02:21

You need to port that map for Quake at one point, looks great!

@Razumen

#2870 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2018/10/30 19:36:05

WOW. Keep us posted on that map!!! Also, are there any communities for HeXen 2 mapping online or on Discord? I'd like to lurk around a bit.

H2 Community

#2871 posted by Razumen on 2018/10/31 01:33:33

Thanks everyone!

@dumptruck_ds Afaik it's pretty sparse for H2 mappers, I've mostly been doing this on my own, but I'd love to find a group as well.

@Razumen

#2872 posted by dumptruck_ds on 2018/10/31 18:26:39

Well I'd be happy to have you join us in the Quake Mapping Discord if only to keep in touch and maybe pick your brain about H2 mapping when the time comes (next year likely). https://discordapp.com/invite/j5xh8QT
