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:

Features "cool shit".

Csg Subtract Map Jam

#1874 posted by Zwiffle on 2015/10/17 02:43:17

do it

Decent Csg Subtract...

#1875 posted by Kinn on 2015/10/17 03:12:47

...isn't the brush manipulation function that we need right now, but it's the one that we deserve.

(i've no idea what i'm on about tbh, i'm a little bit drunk)

All Them Tools....

Now I only need external light map importing, and proper smooth shading... and this will be ultimate overkill :D

I Don't Know How To Set It Up

#1877 posted by info_player_IDK on 2015/10/22 04:32:06

I was on YouTube trying to find out how to use the Jackhammer editor when I saw this one, and it looked great and I would have no problems with it because it's meant for only one game.

I downloaded it and extracted it from the folder and made a short cut of the .exe for my desktop and I got the Darkplaces engine and the Shareware version of Quake that I had to get for id1 pak files and I can run the game right but I don't know how to get the Quake map maker working in the program at the bottom there's a box that box has stuff its trying find and below all the stuff it can't find one after the other. and I can't find any of the textures and all the entities are boxes.

And when I go to map properties I can't find the files I think it needs from the Quake files like the fdg.

info_player:

go on preferences and "choose" your "quake path" (its Quake main folder) that will fix the
entities.

here explain it better (its the second step)
http://kristianduske.com/trenchbroom/docs/

as for the textures you need go to
edit>Map Properties
and click on the "+" button to get your .wad file
you can download a .wad here https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/

I recommend watching this video ;)

File Help

#1881 posted by JohnisonBoa on 2015/10/28 01:21:16

So I�m looking the entity definitions and I looked a Centurion, hammer, and more, but, I don't have those files. Where I can get .mdl models?

That Sounds Like

#1882 posted by ijed on 2015/10/28 13:03:54

One of the expansion packs.
Dissolution of eternity, or Scourge of Armagon.

Or maybe the Quoth mod, I think it has both those included as well.

#1883 posted by Joel B on 2015/10/28 16:06:06

Scourge doesn't have a Centurion, but it does have a Centroid... (and a hammer)

Some More CSG Subtract

#1885 posted by SleepwalkR on 2015/10/30 23:48:47

before and after

The algorithm is now done. It can't find a beautiful solution in all cases, but most things that mappers would regularly use subtraction for should be fine.

#1886 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/10/31 00:30:43

Is this in the latest build?

Also, I am having trouble setting up mod directories. In TB1 you can select which mod directory and it will show the models and stuff but I can't find the option in TB2.

#1887 posted by necros on 2015/10/31 00:43:47

this just means someone is going to subtract a sphere from a cube.

Necros

#1888 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/10/31 00:49:50

of course I am, why else would I need a subtract tool? ;)

#1889 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/10/31 00:56:47

What would be handy would be if it automatically created a group from the resulting brushes.

#1890 posted by SleepwalkR on 2015/10/31 07:54:03

Isn't that in the entity inspector at the bottom? Or the map inspector?

It's This

Ok, I've figured it out... using TB2 is like trying to find something in your room after your mum has cleaned it.

Haha

#1893 posted by SleepwalkR on 2015/10/31 15:18:04

Yeah, but I'm going to take some of the UI changes back before the final release. But this particular setting stays where it is ;-)

#1894 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/10/31 15:23:15

Your Mom hasn't cleaned my room in ages. It's a mess in here.

#1895 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/11/07 18:22:41

Does TB2 have it's own bug list? I can't remember and can't find a link if it does...

#1896 posted by necros on 2015/11/07 18:26:53

not it's own, but you can filter by milestone on github:

https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/milestones/TrenchBroom%202.0.0
and
https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/milestones/TrenchBroom%202.1.0

So Sleepwalkr

#1897 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/11/09 21:09:24

When are you going to convert Trenchbroom to UE4??
