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:

Sweet!

Is it safe to overwrite v.2020.2 or should I delete it first? And if later, where does TB store building tasks config?

#2972 posted by Joel B on 2021/02/13 17:52:12

Any preferences or configurations you've done are stored in a place that depends on your OS.

Windows C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\TrenchBroom

macOS ~/Library/Application Support/TrenchBroom

Linux ~/.TrenchBroom

All Textures Are Red

#2973 posted by SmashDoor on 2021/09/06 14:03:13

I have a problem with textures in the engine. They like small black/white rectangles but in red color.

#2974 posted by metlslime on 2021/09/06 17:49:48

Pink/black checkerboard pattern in game is an indication that the textures are missing from the BSP file, which means the compiler probably couldn’t find the wad file, or the wad does not contain all needed textures.

If you having issues in mapping Quake, always check your paths in your tools.

Thank you SleepwalkR! TrenchBroom is amazing and it is awesome to see it becoming popular across multiple modding communities and also indie game dev circles.

#2987 posted by Baker on 2023/02/28 13:35:21

How close is the q3 support?

Is it close enough that if I put together a theoretical q3 mapping set for TrenchBroom with some asterisks that it would be "worthwhile"?

As I understand it, TrenchBroom uses .def like Radiant. Does it also support .fgd? I only ask because TrenchBroom features have grown over time, I wouldn't be surprised.
