and I appreciate your feedback. My main objective is to make TB as easy to use as possible.
Can you post a screenshot of the situation you were describing in post 2315? I think I understand it, but I'm not sure. [QUOTE]Or you make it so that the keys are hard wired to a specific axis, (i.e., X locks to X axis always), but then you still have to take a moment and think about which axis you wanted to lock to.[/QUOTE]
I don't see much difference between taking a moment to check the axis and taking a (possibly longer) moment to position the camera. The advantage of my solution is that holding [X], [Y] or [Z] seems more intuitive than the current system (which is already very good, as Bloughsburgh said) and it would solve Sevin's problem. I don't see how it wouldn't work very well. On a side note, MWHEEL click+drag to position the view currently stops the camera panning when the cursor hits the screen borders. Would it be possible to make it continue infinitely? I'm not at home right now, but I will when I get back. If this clarifies any more, I'm just working with a vertical brush that I want to chop around a door texture. The situation I'm describing is when I'm trying to create the actual arch brushes. I'll make a video when I get home for you.
Off-topic (sorry): How do you guys make your quotations white like that? I thought the [QUOTE] tag would do the trick but apparently not.

Well, maybe you don't see it, but it was tried and discarded for the very reason that it doesn't work. The argument that it may prevent you from having to reposition the camera does not hold for me because 1) expecting to not have to move the camera in a 3D view is unrealistic IMO and 2) you can use orbit mode to very quickly reposition the camera. It looks like we'll have to agree to disagree. Or you can try if one of the older betas still contains the old axis locking (the first 2.0 beta might) and see for yourself why it doesn't work better than what we have now. Or maybe it works better for you, but I'm afraid that I'm not inclined to change it again. On a side note, MWHEEL click+drag to position the view currently stops the camera panning when the cursor hits the screen borders. Would it be possible to make it continue infinitely? That's a limitiation with wxWidgets on Windows and unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it. Or maybe it works better for you, but I'm afraid that I'm not inclined to change it again.
That's OK, I'm used to it by now. I was speaking from the perspective of the total n00b who tackles TB for the first time (which I was just a few weeks ago). unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it.Damn. Oh well, fly mode can serve as a workaround, but it would've been nice to be able to do that. Sat down to record and I can't open the map I was working on. I tried other maps from AD and the base maps and they all through the same error:
"Cannot load compilation configuration 'Quake\CompilationProfiles.cfg': Unexpected character: $ [line 7, column 22]" I'm guessing this was caused when I tried setting up a compile process, but I can't launch any maps because of it and I can't find the file. Please create a report on github and attach the file located at
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\TrenchBroom\games\Quake\CompilationProfiles.cfg C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\TrenchBroom\games\Quake\CompilationProfiles.cfg
Where USERNAME is your, well, user name. I don't know of any alternative libraries apart from Qt, but how bound to WxWidgets is TB anyway? It kind of feels like it's limiting the application in a few ways these days, like with that dragging issue I opened on Github and the inability to lock the cursor to the window.
I can't imagine UI development is much fun, so I don't blame you for not wanting to move away from what you already have, but it is getting a bit painful to see such annoyances. blank origin key followed by entirely blank key
It's pretty annoying; brushes seem to develop this seemingly at random without even being interacted with half of the time, and will either begin to appear slightly displaced in a compiled map or will completely dissappear and instead show up at the bottom of the level in-game. I'd open an issue on github, but I wanted to check here first since there are a few factors to consider, and like a similar blank property issue I haven't been able to reproduce it on demand. The main issue is that I'm developing for AD, and so my thinking is that this could somehow be an issue with the Getting this part figured out would be great, I'd feel a lot more confident opening a github issue if I knew it was a TB problem and not an AD problem. I use TB, and I have never seen this happen.
I am also creating a map using AD so it could be the I'm using the AD
You seem to be the only one with this issue. Are you using another editor together with TB? Or it might be that you are using the entity property grid in an unexpected way, maybe you are trying to use keyboard shortcuts there, or you are using keyboard shortcuts with the intention of doing something in the 3D view, but the focus is on the entity property grid?
I have same kind of issues. Items aren't in same place after compiling, than what they were in TB's editor view. In fact If I open my map in older version of TB versions 1. something, it clearly shows that in fact those are in different place than what it was in TB2.. that is why I place items in TB1 only.
Or maybe I'm missing again something:
