The TrenchBroom Level Editor for Quake

[ajay]

Hi SleepwalkR
I've been having some issues with my map being loaded correctly (completely!) in both Worldcraft 1.6 and 3.3 - delighted to say TrenchBroom loads it beautifully The only problem si that it can't load the .wad I use due to: "Invalid mip dimensions (1024x1024)"
Is this a known thing, or do I need to get rid of some textures in the wad?
Many thanks again, a great editor, ajay

[SleepwalkR]

TB limits texture size to 512x512 if I remember correctly. If you need those large textures, then please create a bug report on GitHub and I'll gladly increase the limits.

[ajay]

I am really dumb - I thought I did the need the textures, but on further checking the only ones above 512 were ones in my wad from a previous mod, all fixed now. I'm really impressed with editor; not sure I'm ready to completely learn a new editor for my current mod, but it's certainly there for my next one and I'll be using it to iron out all the problems with my current one that WC can't handle. Fingers crossed.
Btw can you group light entities together, I tried but it didn't stick; almost certainly me

[SleepwalkR]

What do you mean by "group together"?

[ajay]

Just I can group multiple light entities together so that I can click on one to choose them all and then change their properties in one go, rather than go round the map clicking on each of them and then changing their properties

[SleepwalkR]

Yeah, TB doesn't have a grouping feature, but it's on the todo list.

[ajay]

No problem. It's still enabling me to stay on track with my mod, which is wonderful

Newsed, and posted to the Quake Facebook page =)

Changes
- More natural snapping when resizing brushes
- Remove limit on maximum mip texture dimensions
- Don't fall back to software renderer on OS X

Where we can donate!?

[SleepwalkR]

You can donate by making maps with TB

Hi let me just say - awesome work with TrenchBroom
it`s much more then just a quake editor

some maps/levels i made in TB
for my game




I know those are not textured yet but that is not a hard thing and since am making them in TenchBroom - the result is great when it comes to texturing ( think world coordinates^^)



For the ones curious how am going to get those in the Engine am using
it is actually pretty straight forward
and i have written down a small tutorial that involves
the usage of TrenchBroom along with compiling as quake bsp and how to import it into Blender by using the latest Blender QuakeBSP Importer
this works almost with evry modern Engine
and i bet it would work in Doom3 aswell - anyways so far i tested it in Torque3D MIT and Unity/ UDK
and the results are pretty good

and again thank you SleepwalkR for creating TrenchBroom, and am looking forward to the v2

[SleepwalkR]

It's so cool to see that people use TB to make maps, so thanks for showing these to me.

@SleepwalkR
I was thinking about the Grid Size
would it be possible to extend the current setup to include a Grid Size of 0.5 and if possible 0.25 aswell?

it would help allot - probably not for quake maps
but i dont see a reason why TrenchBroom should be restricted to just quake maps.

[SleepwalkR]

This will be added when I add support for games where such grid sizes make sense.
