Looks like somehow you just renamed the .map to .bsp instead of actually compiling the thing. 

Yeah, about that. I'm guessing I need to play around with it a bit. I'm not that big into coding so I don't know what else to do to fix this. There was a screenshot of the compilation window inside the Trenchbroom manual, tried the parameters exactly as it was in it and I ended up just renaming it like what you said. 

Whoops, nevermind, got it working now, thanks for the response anyways. 

I am talking about arches like this:

I can create corners just fine but not something as complex as a proper arch. I just can't figure this out. Anyone have a tutorial?

See response above but also start playing with the vertex tool. There was a stream last week from Josh Skelly that really went into detail on his method. Go to the end of this video about 5:55:55 or so.

now I have a new problem. I am trying to make a switch open a door but the door won't stay open. How do I make it so that once the door has opened it stays that way? 

Set wait key to -1 

About the arch video though. I have figured out how to make the arches themselves but it ended up being taller than I wanted it to be. How do I calculate the arches in such a way as to make them the correct width and height? 

 

 

 

 

It is sometimes a good idea to make a wall or box of the height and width you want your resulting arch to be and use it as a guide to make sure you get the right sized arch for your doorway. This is especially helpful if you are using vertex manip to make an arch on a 45 degree angle. 

I had to reinstall windows so I backed up my map. But I made a mistake and backed up the bps instead of the map file! Is there a way I can turn the bsp back into a map file? 

Also, where can I get these textures: https://www.quakewiki.net/archives/speedy/textures.htm

The links are dead and google has given me no results :( 

Use this tool to convert from .bsp to .map

Drag and drop your .bsp file onto winbspc.exe

The textures you seek can be found here:

All I see are normal medkits. 

And is it possible to make monsters teleport/spawn in like in Doom 3? 

add a normal medkit, click on "spawnflags" then check "Megahealth" in the set of checkboxes that appear below. 

Spawning monsters in vanilla Quake is a bit...odd.

You have to create a room outside of your level to hold the monsters you wish to spawn. Put a trigger_teleport around the monster. Make the trigger teleport target an info_teleport_destination. Then you need to trigger the trigger_teleport with a trigger_once for example.

Evidence of this can be seen in the id1 maps.

And use the Search feature above, func has a lot of info you can find on this stuff. A lot of these questions are answered. And I agree with Muk. Definitely open up those original Quake levels for a lot of tricks.

I am working on video tutorials for Trenchbroom geared toward beginners but they are still many weeks away. 

Looking forward to those tutorials.

Oh, and I am super exited after discovering it's actually possible to use Trenchbroom to make unreal 4 levels with this program somebody made!
