Please do. Even better, create a bug report at http://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues
SleepwalkR
I have created a bug report, though I haven't changed the wording or anything from here as I'm no good at tech stuff really. I'll send you the .map file too so that you can see if it's just my machine being rubbish.
Great
Don't worry, it's fine - I'll adapt the bug reports if necessary. Thanks!

It would be interesting to see some examples of how you guys use this and how you edit the resulting brushes so as to avoid the well known problems (additional face cuts etc.). I would be grateful if you could provide some screenshots (or videos).
Unfortunately I don't have any videos or screenshots examples because I don't have any maps in progress at the moment. I can describe when I use the CSG tools if that helps.
Personally I find CGS subtract useful when I am doing 3 point clipping. When I am trying to create two brushes that are flush against each other I will often use a duplicate brush to trim one brush to fit another. Afterwards I will use CSG merge to tidy up the brush fragments into better shapes.
The CSG tools work together when you subtract first and then merge afterwards. It is a two fold process and very much like a cutting knife, slicing odd shapes by using another brush as the template and the merge function fixing stuff afterwards.
I often hear newer mappers claim that CSG tools should be limited because *they can* make a mess, but if you are careful and understand how they work the CSG tools are very powerful and good for specific situations. If mappers are lazy and use them to create simple shapes then will make a terrible mess.
I would recommend coding CSG merge first because it has the most uses, especially for optimizing brushwork. Also new faces should adopt a similar texture to the first brush picked or mark new surfaces with caulk/skip instead so designers can see what has changed.
Where Are All Those...

Thanks!

Sorry, but the video is useless until there is a version of TrenchBroom that works like it works in the video.
Please fix the grid information; the garbled text. That should be your first priority.
It's On

Dude, stop being a demanding prick and keep mapping with Quest if that is what you want.

Seriously now, SleepwalkR has already stated that he's changing the text to a texture to fix that problem. Stop being a jerk about it, these things take time and this is actually a spare-time hobby project so just chill out and be patient!
Or, Deqer

..fix them by yourself!
Thats why its on GitHub.

Or you'll fire him?
This isn't a mob grabbing the torches and pitchforks - just chill out.
Daz Pronounces .wad Different To Me.

"Wad" hmmm - He uses a vowel sound like in 'mad', but I would use the vowel sound like in 'mod'. As in 'wads of cash'.
OCD much.
Also my college tutor pronounces iteration 'Eye-teration' Which is way worse IMO......

Really, FifthElement? I see no indication that it's being done. I posted a bug, and I see no indication that my bug has been viewed at all.
What I do see, is him spending his time discussing CSG stuff and working on other features--according to github logs.
Other people have complained about the garbled text as well. How is this issue not of highest priority? Is it low priority because it isn't fun for the programmer? ...

Yeah

Sleepy, like I already told you on IRC (and you missed it), pimping TB through Carmack was a stroke of genius. This way it could gain some attention beyond this forum and ideally may just spark some renewed interest in Q1 mapping.
Wad Vs Wod
Same here, Ricky - I say it the way you do.
And thanks OTP - I didn't even know Rock, Paper, Shotgun so far (heard of the name, but didn't read it). Apparently it's a big thing, so if that drives more people to try TB or even help out with the development, that would be fantastic.

It was more of a spark of me celebrating TrenchBroom's release with a bit too much alcohol. I'm just happy I didn't put any spelling errors into that email ;-).
I was sure lucky that he retweeted it (on a friday no less, the tweet was there till monday) though. That was awfully nice of him.
Deqer
My guess would be you're getting ignored for being a gigantic tosser.

I'm sure this stuff will get done at some point, but SleepwalkR isn't getting paid to do this, he's just doing it for the community and his own pleasure (am I wrong?). So he gets to prioritise his own backlog. I mean there's no need to get 'shirty', it's not like you had to pay for this software.
Also development can be very tiring, and he's just released this, it's bound to be a busy time for him. But the stuff on Github is there for a reason, I'm sure he will systematically go through the various bugs and feature requests in his own time.
Wad Vs "wod"...
I'm a Brit like Daz but I don't pronounce it the same as him.

Can you take your self entitled attitude somewhere else, please? This is a hobbyist project that was released for free. You have zero ground to make demands on the programmers time. None.
Haha

It's hilarious when your own insulated views on game/technobabble pronunciations get onto the internet. I had honestly never thought about wad vs wod before now.
It's wAd though guys, c'mon now! ;)

"Dude, stop being a demanding prick and keep mapping with Quest if that is what you want. "
That's not what I want. What I want is to see TrenchBroom succeed and be the best editor out there, and I've been spending my time to help with that. So, sue me for getting frustrated.
Take your useless comments and kindly shove them up your ***. kthxbye.
