I know it's not a typical gaming video card, but I'm able to playing modern games on it, including TF2--which uses quake engine as well.

So, I must wonder, why TrenchBroom crashes when I press "V" for vertex editing mode, and shows an error like this: http://pastebin.com/UCNGUYMB - mainly the last 10 lines of that paste; so, lines 94 to 103.

"ERROR: 22:1: '' : extension 'GL_EXT_gpu_shader4' is not supported"

What is that? Sounds like it is video card related. But, just seems odd to me that my video card cannot display, but my video card can play games just fine.

The crash always happens when I press "V" on a selected brush. 

Go to the preferences and set OpenGL instancing to "Force off". 

This video shows me using TrenchBroom for the first time, and my initial reactions to anything I see or encounter. My first impressions.

I also do a bit of editing with brushes, and textures in this video.

Perhaps someone might find this interesting.

Title: "First time, Part 1: Install, Setup, and Experiment | TrenchBroom" 

Hello again, just wandered in here again after a late night of mad brush work inside Trenchbroom. I noticed one thing when working with a large collection of brushes forming a single surface. It can become tricky to line up textures especially when dealing with so many brushes.

So what I was wondering is if there are any plans to add some basic texture projection options? Like selecting a bunch of faces over a series of brushes and then unifying their mapping with planer projection based on an average normal?

Would it also be possible to add the ability to adjust mapping of faces with a gizmo when you have a surface selected instead of using the offset and rotation settings? That would keep you in the viewport without having to get lost in menus. It could be just like the rotate or vertex edit modes but for texture adjusting. Select a surface and then start rotating and scaling the texture right there instead of juggling numbers. This and the basic projection options would be kick ass for helping manage texture alignments for more complex constructions like terrain.

Cheers and again thanks for this epic editing software. I totally lost track of time last night... 

I'm not sure what you mean by your first suggestion. You cannot change the way textures are projected in Quake.

Texture manip. with the mouse is on the todo list. 

Thanks for the video, I will watch it later. 

Regarding texture project I am talking about tools in your editor to help manipulate the already build in data that controls the Uv coordinates that is all. No new engine additions for quake itself just handy tools to mass adjust and sync texture orientations and scale with each other. Does that make more sense? 

But you can select multiple faces and adjust the texture parameters in the face inspector already. I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean exactly. 

Some notes:

- Font rendering is broken on your system. This will be fixed in a future version. This has happened to other people as well.
- Shift+Left Drag on Edge and Face handles doesn't work so well. It does not snap the individual vertices of the edge or face to the grid. In these cases, you should move the individual vertices.
- To make a vertex align with another vertex (maybe of another brush), select both brushes, double click the vertex to be aligned and drag it onto the other vertex.
- Generally it is preferable to have vertices on the grid (maybe on a larger grid size than 1). Makes lots of things easier.
- Vertices need laser beams, too. That should make it easer to line them up. 

Regarding across multiple faces (with the same texture) what I normally do is select the first texture face and make my adjustments and then alt+click the other faces so the settings are carried over. 

Did I really say 4x4x4? I meant 64x64x64! :p Nice to see that feature will be added though! 

I really struggled to watch the video once you started editing stuff in 1x1 grid mode... I don't even like going down to 8x8 unless I really need to, it's just way too much hassle to get things done correctly/accurately. 

font-family: Helvetica; will fallback to the default font if the user does not have Helvetica (such as your beloved Linux users). Change it to font-family: Helvetica, Arial, DejaVu sans, sans-serif; or something like that. Right now I get an ugly serif font. 

 

Will do, thanks!

Hey guys, been a while :-)
(I'm this guy: http://www.rudolfkremers.com/q/quake.html)

Kristian! Ach mein GOTT! This editor loooks amazing.I may have to give that a spin when I find some time. (Admittedly this will take a while) 

Thanks! 

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"... Good map back in the day. :) 

I have a sequel 99% finished

But it has been lying dormant on my harddisk for about ten years or more.. 

Thanks for your response.

Here is another video, Part 2 of my first time, using the clipping/cutting/slicing tool.

This video is not as long. Only half long as previous one.

I have a part 3 video that is uploading right now, showing how I compile the map. In case anyone finds that interesting.

I have another video uploading now, showing me creating a one-room map from scratch with items, lighting, spawnpoints, and an exit. 

fyi: You are supposed to be able to type directly into the map textbox like you did originally, but it's bugged and requires you to use that [...] button. Sorry for the confusion.

Being limited to just 3D mode makes it a chore to edit the maps. 2D grid views exist in other editors for a reason. I think it is silly to talk about the "NO 2D grid view" as if it is a great feature. I personally love the fact that you are making a new editor for Quake, but I personally think this design decision was a mistake. There are just so many things that that much easier to do in a 2D grid view and can be done much faster as well. I really suggest putting that kind of a feature into the game.
