would like to be able to switch a selected entity in the 3d window by clicking on a different entity in the browser. Bonus points for a modifier key to keep the angle/targetname/target fields from the prior entity
This sounds like a useful thing in theory, but I am afraid it may lead to a lot of inadvertent changes when you browse through the browser and click on something without being aware that you have entities selected. But it may be worth a try. small UI thing: scroll wheel or arrow keys in search boxes to invoke search history (as in Atom) This should go on the issue tracker, but it's a lot of work for a rather small feature (gotta write a custom search box that keeps a history and handle scroll events). big thing (for me) I hate having a lot of textures to scroll thru. So much so, that I make custom minimal wads when I map. If the texture browser consolidated animated textures into one texture this would help with clutter, organization and prevent mappes putting the wrong texture on a button. Not sure how you'd handle situations where you want the "wrong" texture on the button. The problem I see here is that this is very game specific. But it may be possible to generalize this into a feature where all textures which satisfy a certain condition are collapsed, and the condition could go into the game config. All of these features are UI polish and currently not very high on my list (as you noted). I want to concentrate on expanding the user base by supporting more games. This goal has again been delayed somewhat by pushing Quake 3 support into 2.2, which we had to do so that we could get the other changes of 2.1 out the door sooner. Fifth, you can already use loose texture files, you just need to add a custom game config. I plan on documenting game configs for 2.1 in the manual, and to add a generic config that uses loose files and doesn't contain any game specific stuff. I appreciate the reply and the reasoning too. Sometimes we non-coders have no idea how much work is involved for these little asks. :)
Despite appearances, I appreciate all feature requests and bug reports ;-)
But it's hard to balance it with the greater picture and vision for TB, which is heading from pure Quake 1 editor into a more generic direction to expand the user base, and hopefully, the number of contributors. Remember view settings when reopening TB, e.g. whether to show edges.
Not really sure what to suggest about the dichotomy of having a view menu up top and a view button down lower that both have two different sets of options...combine somehow or at the very least add a dropdown character on the View button for the label like so: View↓ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
Did you install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015, like it said on the page? If not, this will do the trick! When parsing an FGD file, the parser fails to concatenate strings using the + character on tooltip/description texts. Even worse, it fails to load the entire

Been using github builds for things like scale/shear for a few months now, they're really useful features. Looking at the other features here, 2.1.0 is shaping up to be an awesome release!
Malwarebytes has been wont to quarantine TB2 github builds for me in recent times for me as well, calling them cryptolockers or something when I try and save...
A pain but not a big deal for me. Good luck with figuring out how to whitelist things in Windows Defender After installing the visual pack, I attempted to run Trenchbroom but it shows me that error. HELP!
Windows defender identifies the file as containing a trojan "win32/Azden.b!cl"
Not sure what is going on but I can't seem to get around this as the files are immediately quarantined. seems to be a heuristic detection, surely there's some way to whitelist it in WD?
until it's fixed, you can un-quarantine TrenchBroom.exe:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/restore-quarantined-files-windows-defender-antivirus Just when you thought the most epic open source project of all time couldn't get any better
If you count features, lifespan, and number of users, Blender clearly wins that crown. But yes TB is awesome and more awesomner than ever.
I got a response back from Microsoft saying they fixed the incorrect detection. Not sure how long it will take to make it into the windows defender virus definitions but they seem to be updated daily, so hopefully it's fixed soon.
Gonna make some maps full of dragonflies and frogs and create plenty of places for the sidekicks to get stuck.
Just wanted to say I'm really loving Trenchbroom and to thank you for all your hard work. Moving from the ancient Hexmaker editor, TB has revitalized mapping for me. The ability to select and edit multiple brushes at once is a HUGE time-saver and really makes things so much easier, not to mention the great 3D view functionality. I also find the face clone/extrude function very useful in setting up the initial arrangements of complex brush arrangements, in fact I think I actually use it more often than the brush creation tool.
Anyways, here's a imgur album of the Hexen 2 map I'm working on: https://imgur.com/a/49Bvhgs It's getting pretty huge because of the BSP2 support I found in a custom version of uHexen2, but the use of detail brushes actually lets me do a full level 4 VIS compile in under 1 minute. O.o WOW. Keep us posted on that map!!! Also, are there any communities for HeXen 2 mapping online or on Discord? I'd like to lurk around a bit.
Thanks everyone!
@dumptruck_ds Afaik it's pretty sparse for H2 mappers, I've mostly been doing this on my own, but I'd love to find a group as well. Well I'd be happy to have you join us in the Quake Mapping Discord if only to keep in touch and maybe pick your brain about H2 mapping when the time comes (next year likely). https://discordapp.com/invite/j5xh8QT
Changes and downloads: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2.1.0-RC2a
Yesterday i've found a new Hexen2 custom map (released last month) made by Whirledtsar.
I think this is the first HX2 map made in TrenchBroom that i ever played =D download: http://hexenworld.org/a-new-hexen-ii-map-the-tyrants-tome/ my playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9ZgnXO88PU I mean don't get me wrong, I'll be the first to axe every wierd wall but that was ridiculous. Are hexen levels always that obtuse? Never played it.
I played Hexen2 in 1997, so i don't remember if you had to do it on the original maps. But on the custom maps, people usually hide secrets behind destructible walls (or bellow the beds, or behind a bookcase, or inside a statue, etc) so you have to axe everything to find them. When something is destructible there's a particular sound that it makes when you axe it, so it's not that hard to know if you can do it or not... but it's just boring :P
Fixes the registry corruption bug and a few others: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2.1.0-RC3b
Looks interesting, I'll have to give it a spin.
@Qmaster Original H2 wasn't really obtuse with its secrets, mostly they'd be hinted at in some way. Generally I find hiding secrets behind things with no hint at all that there's something there just bad level design, even worse if progression relies on it. No way in hell I'm going to go hitting every wall to see if it's breakable. Razumen - that looks excellent! The lighting is very nice and the setting looks very interesting. Can't wait to play it.
Tribal - thanks for playing the map, hope you enjoyed it! Yeah, the progression is a bit cryptic, but I'm the kind of guy to destroy everything breakable on principle so it didn't occur to me that it could be a problem for others. Get it here as usual: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/releases/tag/v2.1.0
