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:
https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2.1.0-RC1
Features "cool shit".

My mistake. I made same mistake with Willem's name too. Sorry. I can only hope the readers can see that mistake.

Don't Worry

It's impossible to mistake you for anyone else, no matter what name you use.

No Ijed

been here observing for like 6 years or so, but never I felt like having to comment or something.
But I have some new Q1 stuff which I did the last year (and will be released if i find some beta testers...<-hint)
Btw Q1 was my first love, and it will be my first. ;)

Just go to the Screenshots thread and post a shot there with a plea for testers and you'll find plenty I'm sure.

Which Screenshot Thread, SW?

Thanx Did It

#639 posted by mfx on 2013/03/13 22:52:32

and be prepared...

I'm Sorry.

Alright guys, I'm sorry. Really, I am. I sincerely apologize for my behaviour in here.

My actions here have touched some people in a serious manner, and I didn't think twice about that.

Looks like my reputation is ruined, now. :/

All I can do is move on, and be calm; and hope to gain back some reputation, and ultimately some respect from the regulars here.

I'm just a stranger here, you know. Unfortunately I did not grow up in this community, and that makes things harder.

I've registered an account here now, and I plan to contribute to the community in any way I can. I will be checking the Mapping help thread, and Screenshots, and such, and provide any help I can--not because I feel punished and that I need to--because I actually like to do that anyways; like to help out.

Again, I'm sorry, and ask for your forgiveness.

Fixed Videos.

#641 posted by deqer on 2013/03/13 23:33:38

I fixed up my videos as well, so they are not misleading, and I removed the bad videos.

Welcome back!

The text bug is on my todo list, and it will get fixed when the text system is replaced with a better, faster version. I'll see if I can fix it sooner though, as it seems to be related to the "OpenGL Instancing" setting as well. I'll look into it for 1.0.5.

Everyone else: Let's give deqer a break so that we can get back on topic.

it's good to know I can port over to 220 when the time comes, I seem to be coping fine without it really but I am definitely a perfectionist about things like texture alignment. Can't wait to see the future of the editor if this is the beginning.

Definitely looking forward to version 1.2, then! Very happy to have discovered this software.

Btw

Hexen 2

#646 posted by Hareton on 2013/03/14 11:44:30

I hope you will make Hexen 2 support soon.

Hareton

#647 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 11:46:28

I will take a while and will definitely not happen before release 1.2. There are more pressing issues, and my time is limited. Sorry!

Hareton

#648 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 12:27:33

People tell me that you just need a Hexen 2 .def and .fgd file. Deqer provided one here:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0piElswxauhWTVaeDFqUHUtTTA/edit

But he says it doesn't load properly. I can't test it right now, but maybe you can edit it or isolate the errors. TrenchBroom should give you more or less meaningful error messages as to where the parser chokes.

Addendum

#649 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 12:33:25

There was a Hexen II FGD file for worldcraft by autolycus at some point:

http://www.quakewiki.net/archives/worldcraft/files/files.shtm

But I can't download it. Maybe someone in the Hexen II community has it. It should work with TrenchBroom.

Another Addendum

#650 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 12:33:56

If you get it to work, it would be nice if you could upload the def or fgd file somewhere for me. Then I can include it in the editor.

Final Addendum ;-)

#651 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 12:41:13

I have found a Hexen II FGD file and uploaded it here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7009168/FGD/hexen2fgd.zip

I can't test it right now, but maybe it works right out of the box.

#652 posted by deqer on 2013/03/14 12:55:46

Just to clarify, the hexen2.def I linked above is the one I fixed.

BTW, I tried the hexen2.fgd you linked now, SleepwalkR, and it loads fine. However, the entities aren't as colorful as the hexen2.def file. Not sure if that matters; just looks prettier. lol.

I'll fix up the other .def files I have, and link them soon.

BTW, if anyone is interested, I posted another video, 3 minutes long, about working with textures in trenchbroom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnEnn61GRR0

Colours

#653 posted by ijed on 2013/03/14 13:58:54

Def and fgd both have the colours of entities written into each entry and you can customise them as you wish.

It usually helps a bit to do this when working on a mod and you start adding more helpers and stuff.

Colors

#654 posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/14 14:04:19

In the builtin defs could be more diverse too. Any takers ? ;-)
