My new tutorial series has begun. This is appropriate for total beginners or experienced mappers who want to give TB2 a try (or just a look.) Links and a cheat sheet are available in the description.

Here's the link from the TB2 Github release page if you want to go directly to the recommended Visual C++ install.

@therektafire, @dumptruck_ds

I do not remember what dlls it was asking for but I put all missing dlls in directory as far as I know then I tried to run trenchbroom and it gave me an error saying that it could not be ran.

I will just go ahead and try this c++ installer... 
Yes 
Do that, and make a fresh install of TB since you copying stray dlls into the TB folder is a bad idea. 
 
OK, I did the fresh install of tb, I didn't place the directory directly inside program files but don't think I need to. There have been issues with other editors if it was not placed inside program files. All I have now is game not found and can't locate palette but that should only be because I have to set up the parameters.

You should be following these steps from my Quickstart video if you have further issues.

@dumptruck_ds

before anything, thanks for the help from previous, i appreciate it

where are you getting START.wad, ericw-tools, andNecros’ Compiling GUI at listed in your quick start pdf guide? is there some place to download this at? dumb question?

i am running dark places and you are running quakespasm 
@EARP 
Start.wad is on Quaddicted https://www.quaddicted.com/files/wads/ , there are lots of other texture packs on there as well, if you want all the vanilla quake textures get "quake101.wad", here is the link for that https://www.wad-archive.com/wad/c04791b1cd574af1c8724a8f75f78681

All those are linked above the comments at the video.

I thought the wad containing all the id1 textures was Q.wad...? What's the difference? 
Quake 
quake101.wad has all the Quake textures plus Hipnotic and Rogue textures.

Q.wad is only id1 and I believe there are a couple of issues with renamed textures IIRC.

I recommend quake101.wad

I used start wad in the tutorial as I considered it a more manageable amount of textures for a noob. It was also a last minute decision when I made. I've been criticized for not using quake101.wad which would have been the smart thing to do. :(
 
OK Thanks! 
 
@dumptruck_ds 
I did find those downloads under comments thanks. 
Custom Sounds In Quake 
Did this quickly. I wanted to do something a lot more comprehensive but this will get newbs into the fray easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj7C_igr0bs

Mostly for newbs. The first in a series.

(I don't think this was covered?) 
Thanks! 
Thanks for excellent guides! I generally detest video guides as it's so often a waste of time compared to quickly finding the appropriate tips in text, but these guides don't have fillers ("please subscribe to my channel!" etc), instead focusing on quick hands-on tips throughout rather short videos.

Trenchbroom also seems to be very intuitive, so much easier to work with than I thought. 
@arkngt 
Yup I hate tutorials that don't get to the point. I can blather on and on in other videos but I try to get right to it in these.

Glad they are useful!
