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:

Problem With The Issue Browser In Latest Beta?

#2179 posted by sputnik on 2016/07/16 12:56:07

Just tried the new beta in Windows 10. Selecting an issue, right-clicking and choosing a fix no longer fixes the issue. This was working fine in the previous beta.

Thanks for your continued development of TB. It's a fantastic tool.

Could You Please Submit The Issue On Github

#2180 posted by SleepwalkR on 2016/07/16 18:10:19

Also please give more information, e.g. What issue you were trying to fix etc.

Issue Submitted

#2181 posted by sputnik on 2016/07/16 18:40:17

I've submitted it on Github with extra info. Thanks.

Great, I'll Look Into It Now.

Newbie: How To Setup A Game Environment

#2183 posted by LinuxR on 2016/07/22 22:02:12

Hello there! First please let me say thank you for this great editor. I was instantly able to create a cool 3d level, and it works on Linux, love it!

So now I have my level geometry (.map) and would like to try it in a game engine, add textures and entities to it, etc. As far as I have understood I need a compiler and a game engine so I can use it. How do I set this up in TrenchBroom? How can I add Textures and Models (entities)? Is there a way to use data (textures, model) from the apparently abandoned transfusion-environment (http://www.transfusion-game.com/)?

Thanks again for any hints,
L.

Transfusion SDK

#2184 posted by xaGe on 2016/07/25 18:50:55

If you look at the Transfusion SDk available here for download it's geared toward using Radiant based editors and the Quake 3 map format and assets.

Currently TrenchBroom 2 supports Hexen II, Quake and Quake 2, not Quake 3.

Although Transfusion being based on the darkplaces engine will allow you to use the Q1 map format for TF it's probably not the best place to start if your fairly new to Quake mapping.

Also Read The TB2 Documentation.

#2185 posted by xaGe on 2016/07/25 18:58:32

Download the latest TB2 from it's website. Install it and actually read through the extensive documentation that comes with it located under the Help menu--> TrenchBroom Help or shortcut [Ctrl]+[H].

Might Worth Looking At This Also...

#2186 posted by xaGe on 2016/07/25 19:03:29

Some basic map info on the Quakewiki you might want to look at here:
https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Mapping

You can get some very nice Q1 map compile tools from here:

We Really Need More Tutorials.

Agreed.

Trenchbroom 2 Beta is super unstable for me, I would love to send crash report, but it crashes too :P

What I'm doing is snapping vertices on a 1 unit grid...

Vertex Snapping Will Improve In Next Beta

#2190 posted by SleepwalkR on 2016/07/31 18:58:38

Are Those Improvements Available In Repo?

#2191 posted by khreathor on 2016/07/31 19:11:35

No, Still Being Worked On.

Rock Primitive

Feature request! :) Rock primitive like J.A.C.K. Pick your number of faces, randomly generate valid brush.

Such Requests Go On Github Please ;-)

I just want to say, thank you for convex merge. <3

#2196 posted by SleepwalkR on 2016/08/23 15:58:34

Be sure to play with CSG subtract, too. It's pretty smart.

This happened to me a while ago now but I never filed a report as the video was all I had. I was somehow able to select a group while it was hidden and this mess of lines happened.

Should I make a bug report anyway? Doesn't seem like much help, i can't recreate it or anything.

Thanks Pritchard

#2199 posted by SleepwalkR on 2016/08/24 15:46:05

But I have seen this before. Did you send me an email?
