GL instancing is more hassle than it's worth and will be gone from 2.0 anyway. 

I'm looking for someone to help me out with some icons for TrenchBroom's UI. I need about 10 icons:

Preferences (32x32)
Game Setup
View Setup
Mouse Setup
Keyboard Setup

Various (16x16)
Add
Remove
Path
Save
Delete

I would describe the style as "flat and reduced". Does anyone want to help out? I'll warn you right now that I'm picky ;-) 

For the "various" icons, I also need an "Edit" icon. 

You mean something among these lines?

Game Setup - don't really know what to put here
View Setup - A widescreen computer monitor
Mouse Setup - A stylized mouse seen from above without any rotation, e.g. the buttons point up
Keyboard - A stylized keyboard seen from above without any rotation.

Add - a plus sign
Remove - a minus sign
Path - don't know
Save - a flopyy disk of course ;-)
Delete - a trash can? 

since it's gpl you could just pick from the many free icon sets. I had good experiences with iconfinder.com 

Some from that link above.
I love drawing these things, but then again, why reinvent the wheel every time?

They should all have compatible licenses afaik. 

 

wxWidgets 3.0 is out now, wasn't there some issues where you waited for it? 

for the update! That's great news. I was already using wxWidgets 2.9.5 which resolved many of the issues I was having.

thanks for those tutorials, but I already figured it out. 

...But I'm having a bit of an issure with the light entity in trenchbroom.
I want to make a lighting affect like this: http://i.imgur.com/m1EbAhU.jpg
But I get this: http://i.imgur.com/hagirQu.jpg
Any idea how to fix this? 

Try going into the light entity and click the plus sign, then name the key "wait" or "delay" without the quote marks. And change the values a bit.

Try wait 5, delay 0 and light 500. That might make a bright light with a small radius. 

It worked! but I'm wondering how I'm supposed to get lighting styles in trenchbroom. (this might be the last time i'd bother asking here for today.) 

is key. A lot of the compilers will come with info in readme files on different settings you can add to light entities.
That's how I found out that setting. Make a few different test maps too, nothing beats testing your ideas for different results. 

Nvm, I just found out how to do it, but thanks anyway! 

TB doesn't show the values to configure the entities. Open up the source file, either .def or .fgd and it will list how to configure everything. 

Personally I think delay 0 has way too much "reach", it just goes forever. I try to use only one or two in a given area, mostly for fill lighting.

Here is some pretty good info on Quake lighting:

is the default light setting. You must be thinking of something else. 

I was thinking about delay 1.

I guess I wasn't yet completely awake. 

If only we had this 16 years ago. 

Since you've got a Modern Quake Level Editor, Maybe a Modern Logo/Splash could work. It would go perfect on T-shirts to generate awareness and funds. Appeals to the New Gen Level Makers?

let me know if you like it? 

To read. It also looks like you've got two seperate logos next to each other.
