Trenchbroom? I have seen two other threads that fizzled when the user was asking for help to do just that. I am wondering if there is an issue with Trenchbroom that won't allow for it. Heck, if there was one for how to do it with Quake that might suffice. I am hoping someone takes up the challenge. As for the statement "I find it difficult to converse in a language I am not functional in. " I was referring to my inability to understand even basic code speak. 

I did it before. It can be done. Just try it out. If I can figure it out anyone can. Sorry I don't have the answers for you but I have a new computer and those files are on another I don't have access to. You can Google for Quake 2 compiling tools and find this:

Write a batch file to compile your map and FFS GO MAP. 

and go here for some info: https://discord.gg/Wnqz74z 

The map file looks fine. Could you post the entire error message, it might stem from one of TB's other configuration files. 

I've got it


// entity 25
{
"classname" "monster_zombie"
"origin" "744 136 200"
"angle" "270\"
}


Last entity at file has misprinted backslash - escape character. Just remove it using notepad. 

 

Appreciate it. Thank You. Too much for me though. I am now using Quark's internal compiling. It is no more time consuming then using the compiling GUI. So I build in Trenchbroom and compile in Quark, my problem is solved. 

 

(re #2918 AND #2920, clearly)

So is this \ a byproduct of something I did in the editor or just my fat fingers 

Seems like you pressed it in pair with Enter 

TB should warn about this though. 

You have to validate string on focus lost at least. BTW only useful escaped symbol for entity fields is "\n" 

What he said 

TrenchBroom 2019.2 is out with md3 support and some fixes and performance improvements | https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2019.2 

TB 2019.3 is out with several bug fixes: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2019.3 

Is there a way to do this, or in the works? The screen can be a real mess when working with a lot of grouped brushes. 

Please explain in more detail. 

Ah sorry, I see there's already an issue open under "Draw occluded vertex handles shaded #1568" detailing pretty much the same request. 

imagine how cluttered it got when Vertex, Edge, and Face nodes were all displayed at the same time. 

I am sorry, may be I am just stupid but seems like I found a strange bug. When I open quake 3 .map in TB and then save, it turns into quake 1 map (I use windows version of TB 2019.3). I asked few people to do the same on their PCs and they have same bug. Seems like TB converting quake 3 maps into quake 1 format when it opens it. 

Also wierd bug. Not all md3 models are displayed in TB. Check it out, here are some models that I use:

Seems like wad3 textures can not be loaded in TB 

As per the output in the log, TB does not fully support Quake 3 maps. Quake 3 maps are Quake 2 maps with two additional structures: Patches and brush primitives. Neither are supported, so when you save a map, these structures will be lost.

TB also won‘t display models that consist of multiple md3s that are connected by tags, or models with external skins.

The Quake 3 config expects tga, jpg or png textures. WAD3 is a Quake 1 thing, if you want to use it, you need to create a custom game config. See the manual. 

Got wad3 textures with this confing
"textures": {
"package": { "type": "file", "format": { "extension": "wad", "format": "wad3" } },
"format": { "extension": "C", "format": "hlmip" },
"attribute": "wad"
}, 

Might be a good opportunity to hype up Trenchbroom and get new people interesting in Quake modding and mapping. ;)
