Func_Msgboard: The TrenchBroom Level Editor

Posted by SleepwalkR on 2013/03/01 18:37:12

Today I am releasing TrenchBroom 1.0 for Windows and Mac OS X. TrenchBroom is a modern cross-platform level editor for Quake.

Features
- True 3D editing, no 2D views required
- High performance renderer with support for huge maps
- Vertex editing with edge and face splitting
- Manipulation of multiple vertices at once (great for trisoup editing)
- Smart clip tool
- Move, rotate and flip brushes and entities
- Precise texture lock for all operations
- Smart entity property editors
- Graphical entity browser with drag and drop support
- Comprehensive texture application and manipulation tools
- Search and filter functions
- Unlimited undo and redo
- Point file support
- Automatic backup
- Support for .def and .fdg files, mods and multiple wad files
- Free (as in beer) and open source (GPLv3)
- Cross platform (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux supported)

Check out a video of TrenchBroom in action here.

You can download the editor here.

If you would like to give feedback, please do that in this thread. If you find a bug or have a feature suggestion, please submit them at the issue tracker.

If you are wondering where the Linux binaries are then sorry, but currently there are none. The Linux version has a few problems which I could not fix before this release. I will get working on those right away so that the Linux version should be available in a couple of weeks, too.

Finally, I would like to thank necros for all his work over the past year. Without his tireless efforts, TrenchBroom would simply not exist. Or it would suck.

Alright, enough of this. Have fun with the editor!

Update: 2.1 here:

You GodDamn Tease

Looks good.

Holy shit that was cool.

I was half-expecting one of the examples to be a curved brush (like the 2d-shaper). To be fair though I am super impressed as it is.

Nice

Some of it looks familiar ;)

What do you mean, curved?

From where?

#1610 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/03/02 23:18:28

Yeah I mean like curved (like a bendy corridor or something)

Yeah

Baby steps ;-).

An Old Issue Tracker Suggestion

#1612 posted by rebb on 2015/03/02 23:21:21

Cool to see something like that implemented now.

#1613 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/03/02 23:27:16

It is very reminiscent of, I imagine, how you would edit a level in doom. I bet if you tweeted this to romero he would literally jizz in his pants.

Oh Yeah

#1614 posted by SleepwalkR on 2015/03/02 23:33:32

rebb, you're right. This has been on my todo list for a long time. Finally gotten around to doing it so that people don't used to the old way of creating brushes when TB2 is done. You can still create simple cuboids in the 2D views though.

Hahah Nice One...

#1619 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/03/05 20:19:34

trenchbroom should be used for every bloody bsp editor...

Haha, Nice Of Him!

How To Test TB2 On Linux?

#1627 posted by former_total_newbie on 2015/04/03 16:12:00

So, I've just installed TB again on my Linux system (Linux Mint) after a break of several months, using (as before) this guide: http://andyp123.blogspot.de/2013/03/running-trenchbroom-quake-editor-on.html

Said guide works perfectly, but I understand nothing of it (I just follow the instructions and Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V the commands, but have no idea what any of them really do).

Keeping in mind how utterly tech un-savvy I am, would someone be so kind as to explain how I can switch from what I have now (TB version 1.2.0 Build 460, according to Help --> About) to TB2?

(I know it is still unfinished and probably buggy, but so is TB1 on my system -- and if I were to use TB2, I could maybe give SleepwalkR some meaningful feedback, as opposed to complaining about a version of TB that is no longer going to be updated...)

Thanks in advance, and thanks again to SleepwalkR for creating and constantly improving TrenchBroom!

(By the way, is this the right thread, or should this go in Mapping Help?)
