Hi im quite new to the quake mapping scene and i had a question, is there any setting in TB2 that allows for a general resolution setting so that one can use higher resolution textures without always having to resize.
I do not know exactly know a good repository for these sorts of questions, if you do know i would like to.

Thanks

and after just use an "hd" textures as external .tga files. 

The Trenchbroom discord server is one good place.

For this particular question, one thing you could do is create your own "game configuration file" (the TB manual goes into detail about this). It can mostly just be a copy of whatever game config file you are currently using... just give it a new name, and also modify it to set a default texture scale.

The easiest way to see how to do this is to look at the default Quake 3 game config. Inside the "faceattribs" section there is this:

"defaults": {
"scale": [0.5, 0.5]
},

(hope the formatting doesn't get screwed up too much on that)

This makes the texture applications start off at 0.5 scale when using the Quake 3 game config. So you could do something similar for the custom/personal game config that you make. 

is it possibel ? 

is it possible to run Quake II on the Goldsrc engine ? Goldsrc IS based on IDtech2 afterall

Goldsrc is based on the Quake 1 engine, not Quake 2. 

It was working fine a few days ago, but now I see "Failed to fetch current database; using previously downloaded info" when I open it, and when I try and download any map it tells me "Couldn't open file! PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target".

4 other people on r/quake are also experiencing the same thing, fwiw 

Quaddicted is slowly going through some changes and this isn't surprising. I've posted over on QD. Hopefully it temporary. 

You'll need to download the latest version. https://www.quaddicted.com/tools/quake_injector 

the way the bfg works was inspired by Q2 lol

theres also other stuff like uhh more powerful shotguns and a chaingun (also gibbable corpses like quake 2 this was from a tutorial by wazat) 

Hey hooberserenity, fun mod! I enjoyed the interaction between the gibbable corpses and the BFG effect.

I had a little play around with your BFG model as an exercise to keep my skills sharp. I set myself the goal of compacting the skin down to a 256x256 size (because skins with power-of-two dimensions are sharper in early GLQuake engines and waste less texture memory in more modern ports).

The resulting model is uploaded at

Grab a copy in case you release a follow-up v2 of hte mod. 

I tend to recall that .dem files can ignore some kill counts under specific conditions. Am I dreaming? We have a map in Map-Center Retrojam1 that has a spawn closet that should be killing remaining monsters once conditions are met.

I screened a demo file of this and the kill count seemed off. The map author used trains to crush the monsters. Not sure why a door wasn't used but that might have something to do with it? Here's the entity:

// entity 0
{
"classname" "func_train"
"targetname" "summon_block2_crusher"
"speed" "100"
"dmg" "69420"
"target" "summon_block2_crusher_path1"
// brush 0
{

}
 

so with Official DOOM Eternal modding tools out do u plan to map for DE now somebody pls? 

how do I download/install/run new custom DOOM Eternal maps pls? thanks 

I think that you all know who Vondur is. He's a legend of Quake mapping. He's recently spent his 50th anniversary. I believe that it's a good reason to make a Vondur jam. Just to make your old and lazy maps that use 90-degree angles only.
