TrenchBroom - A Modern Quake Editor For Mac OS X
Hi everyone,

after two years of work, I am releasing the first beta of my Quake editor for Mac OS X, TrenchBroom. It is the result of an experiment where I tried to find out how Quake editing would be like if you could do it directly in the engine - that is, in 3D only. Consequently, TrenchBroom has only one big 3D view and an inspector (which you can hide anytime).

Go to kristianduske.com/trenchbroom for a screenshot and downloads.

Some highlights:
- renders even large maps smoothly
- support brush and alias models in the 3D view
- create new entities by drag and drop
- create, move, rotate, and resize brushes with the mouse
- clip brushes using the smart 3 point clipping tool
- create new vertices by splitting edges and faces or merge two neighboring vertices
- move vertices, edge and faces without creating invalid geometry
- texture lock that also works for rotations
- prefabs
- brush groups
- builtin compilation tools (TxQBSP, MH's light version, Willem's vis version)
- autosave, since this is a beta and all

Thanks to Bengt Jardrup, MH and Willem for their compilers and to Gom Jabbar and Vigil and other #tf guys for feedback.

Okay, that's it for now. I hope there are some people who will find some use for this. I'd certainly appreciate it if you reported any bugs, problems or feedbacks to me either here or via email to kristian.duske@gmail.com.

Anyone Compile TB On An Arch Based Distro? 
I have finally gotten to the point where it almost compiles, but now craps out with 4 g++ errors ; http://pastie.org/9726329

It might be a simple error on my part or obvious to someone more knowledgeable than I. Any help appreciated. 
Compilation 
how do I compile in the mac application? can someone make a tutorial with very specific steps? 
Please Check The Release DEB Package 
If I try to download the 64-bit Trenchbroom 2.0 release DEB package, I get a truncated file. It's about 1.5 megabytes, while the 64-bit Beta DEB package is 73 megs. I tried three times with the same result.

There's another problem. The Beta version cannot be installed straight out of the package on systems that don't use libpng12 with that specific version number, which is one of its requirements. My Ubuntu 16.10 installation has libpng16-16 for example.

I don't have a suggestion about the second problem, but you should see if the first problem is on the server end. This is the specific page which gave me the 1.5M file with the Stable Latest link:

Libpng Issue 
Follow up to my previous post: I guess the quickest solution is for people to install the old libpng12 package manually on systems that don't have it even in the repositories.

Apologies 
I didn't read the full title of the thread, because my browser didn't display it very well. I'll be more careful next time and check where I'm posting.
