There have been a few changes and fixes for Valve 220 texturing last year, but I'm not sure if these are related to what you are describing. Did you submit bug reports for these problems?

I cannot get the map to compile.
The directory has full permissions

Thanks 

Well, export map has no map name?

I haven't used the built-in compiler in a while but the manual says:

Exports the map to a file. This file should be different from the actual file where the map is stored. 

I guess I would have submitted bug reports (I have submitted a few over the years), but my memory is a little hazy; as I said, I've been out of the loop for a while.

I do remember using ericw's tools to convert a few maps to Quake format the last time I was actively mapping and I think it was on either ericw's or your advice, since at the time, the were some problems with Valve format and regular Quake format was a lot more stable.

I seem to recall that when using Valve format, selecting a bunch of adjacent brushes and giving them the same texture values wouldn't work and would result in horribly misaligned faces (e.g. with rockwork or even just fairly simply architecture, like a brick texture wrapped around a tower).

But I also remember that even when using Quake format, textures wouldn't stay properly locked or would come out weirdly flipped when I moved copied brushes around (I think especially when flipping them). This was especially annoying when I had spent a lot of time fiddling with exact angles and X/Y values to get textures looking right on angled surfaces, only to find them completely messed up when I copied and moved the brush in question somewhere else.

I'm sorry that all of this is rather vague. 

You've set up your compile so that it does absolutely nothing, you need to specify what each tool has to do.
Go into the Trenchbroom help (F1) and look at the Compiling Map section, there's an image suggesting how you should set up compiling. 

without having proper steps to reproduce. But the fact that noone has submitted bugs in the issue tracker tells me that there are not a lot of people who experience such problems. 

probably something stupid, but
having an odd issue with TB Version 2.1.0 RC1 release
started dinking around in a map. Was going dandy. Was compiling with Necros GUI. Dandy. Then I noticed changes made weren't making it into the compiled map. Stopped for a bit. Turned PC off. now when I try to load map, I get notification "unexpected end of file".

Pls let me know if any input to resolve. Not a big deal with this particular map as its tiny

Fair enough. :) Thanks again for responding. Well, I guess worst case scenario is that I do run into these issues again, in which case I'll submit bug reports. 

We are usually quick about fixing those. Thanks! 

what does the $ mean? 

$(MAP_BASE_NAME)-compile.map $(MAP_BASE_NAME).bsp 

Starting symbol for placeholder string.
For example, in line above substring $(MAP_BASE_NAME) will be replaced with your map name. 

And to be clear, TrenchBroom will do that substitution automatically. You shouldn't actually type your map name in there. Instead, type $(MAP_BASE_NAME) exactly as it is showing you. 

I forget, but I thought it was ${BLAHBLAH} with braces? 

Yah I didn't have the manual handy, just copying what they said above. But it is in fact braces like ${MAP_BASE_NAME} 

being ignored cuz I'm dumb? Or did it just get skipped over in the midst of the $$$ 

more then I can bear. Not really I just liked writing it. I do appreciate the posts. I am a tad closer but not there yet. I find it difficult to converse in a language I am not functional in. The more I study it and look at examples from other compiling sources the closer I think I am getting until I attempt implementation. I did print out the compilation dialog
from JACK and Quark. Those sources and the Trenchbroom manual may be speaking the same language but I don't know how many ways the same thing can be written. AS my genetics professor once remarked..."Don't make an easy thing hard" Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk 

Try to open your map in notepad and save. It is good to make backup before. If we talk about map not bsp. 

you can check your map format structure as plain text or share it 

This video is closed caption so you can watch in your native language:

Can you upload the map file and post a link? 

The link takes me to your setup tut 

YES!! it is a video that you can play in your native language as I typed above. The section where the compiling is setup should play automatically. 

I find it difficult to converse in a language I am not functional in.

Maybe I misunderstood. 

thanks for interest/reply

trying to remember what I was doing that could have triggered this weirdness but it's a little unclear as I didn't realize it wasn't making changes for bit (assumed I messed up in the editor as it isn't my comfort zone etc)
