It depends on what you want. If you are fine with using only the betas and not using the alphas that may or may not be released in between, then you can just install the packages from the website.

Otherwise, you can do the same thing as before. However, fixes that are implemented during the beta process will live in the release/v2.0.0 branch and may only occasionally get merged into the develop branch. The merging happens at the latest when the 2.0.0 stable version is released, though.

Sorry to tell you that in the future, we will be using the git flow branching model which makes things more complicated for you.

That does look intimidating. But by "in the future" you mean "not yet", right? As in, for now I can continue exactly as before?

I'd really like to try and keep up with the intermediate bugfixes, and I'll try to understand the git flow stuff.

Thank you for releasing the Linux deb and rpm packages, though. It's really good to have that to fall back on, and I really appreciate it when developers don't expect Linux users to be tech experts. 

key:message
value:yourmapname 

You need to add a value to the "message" key of your worldspawn brushes. The "message" will be the name of the level displayed in-game when you hit tab, and in the saved game menu. 

 

 

Thanks DeeDoubleU and total_newbie, much appreciated :)

No, this is as of now. I can also give you access to dropbox if you want to try the intermittent alpha builds. You'll need a dropbox account and you'll need to give me the associated email address. 

I can't select objects in 2d view or move them around using the mouse (I can only move objects with the arrow keys).

Anyone else having this problem? 

 

Try top left button "disable current tool". 

Nope, changing tool mode doesnt do anything for me. I think I pressed tab to get a little hand icon and then after that it stopped working? 

I can't get the info panel to display in TB2 with any maps. Using the Toggle Info Panel menu item has no affect. Wonder if it's a Windows 10 issue? Incidentally, TB is an astonishing piece of software. 

Win7 x64 same issue here.
I thought I was just blind or doing something wrong. 

You are right. Though for me it is not related to TAB, but to cycling views with SPACE.
It is all good until I change the view. After that strange things happen.
Some brushes don't react at all, some could be selected only in one of the side views... is it possible to add x/y/z letters to existing color-coded arrows, btw?

Another thing I noticed - some brushes are not displayed.

Seems to be a windows only issue. Inspector panel works tho. 

It's easier for me to track them that way. 

I've now logged it on GitHub. Thanks. 

Brushes disappearing in orthographic views is part of same issue or it needs separate entry? 

That's okay, thanks for the video.

I wonder why all these bugs show up just now. We have had all those alpha builds and it seems like noone has really tested them. Maybe I should stop doing alpha builds.

Overall, TB is quite impressive. :)

Before that, I've wildly copied and pasted brushes until it crashed. Then I tried the same in Microbrush until it crashed. TB reached 64k brushes before crashing when cloning them, Mb reached 512k brushes before the crashing clone. We're probably both hitting 32bit memory address bounds or something like that. As I associate more data with my brushes for texturing, my total count before a crash will probably decrease, too.

:P 

I suppose you're on Windows? Memory consumption is a weak point of TB, I have beens squandering memory to be honest. It is something I'd like to improve in the future. On the other hand, "64k ought to be enough for anybody", ask Bill Gates! 

It would be nice if the compile tools and engines adopted handling such large numbers of brushes normally... think of all the possibilities for detail modeling, not necessarily larger maps... mmh. 

the quake bsp / visportal system really does not scale well as maps become more and more detailed.

There is a reason games abandoned this model 15 years ago
