Are you using a custom entity definition file or one of the builtin files?

The built-in fgd files. The menu item says "corner" but the label says "path_corner", if that matters.

Thanks for the report. This will be fixed in 1.0.3.

Changes
- Fix off-by-one bug of mod list in map properties dialog.
- Snap vertex coordinates if close to integer coordinates.
- Add logging on all platforms.
- Properly merge spawnflags when loading fgd or def files.
- Properly set the size of point entities from fgd files.
- Fix crash bug when clipping all selected brushes.

Get it here.

built-in ? does this tool not support external (custom) fgds?

Of course it also supports external FGD and DEF files. You can load them by opening the Map Properties dialog (Edit > Map Properties), then selecting "Choose..." from the first dropdown list.

When selecting a subdirectory to search for entity models, the selected directory is searched, but the wrong dir name is displayed.

Both items are fixed in 1.03, thanks!

cool thanks. another question. will this editor also support other bsp formats ? it would be really cool if it could support as many as dp and fte support. if not its still a great editor. i love how it automatically clips things for you if its needed. no more invalid brush errors =).

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "other bsp formats". The editor isn't concerned with bsp at all. I suppose you mean "other map formats" such as Quake 2 and Quake 3?

Ok, tested the program quickly opening an existing map, and found this bug: in some entities the description label gets garbled text (both in the 3D view and in the selection panel, which suggests corrupted strings somewhere and not just a rendering problem).

In the image below, you see a bunch of regular path_corners with this problem:


This map has a lot of custom entities, but this seems unrelated to the bug, since most of non-standard entities show correclty their descriptive labels (at least in the 3D view):


Otherwise, I am really liking what I see, and my first impression of a quick and intuitive interface seems confirmed. A great contribution to the Quake community, SleepwalkR.

Thanks for the warm words!

I think what you're seeing is a bug in the code that converts vector fonts to meshes. Unfortunately I made the decision to use meshes for string rendering, which is slow, ugly and error prone. I plan to rip this out and replace it with texture fonts. I had initially discarded texture fonts because I was unable to get them to render without blurring, but I know now how to fix that. I can't say when I'll be done with that, though. Maybe I'll squeeze it into 1.2, so it should be done sometime in April.

Changes
- Improved Quake.fgd and Quoth2.fgd (thanks negke!).
- Improvements to clipboard pasting.
- Fixed a crash bug when loading maps with invalid brushes.

quake 2, quake 3, half-life bsp. maybe other similar formatted types.

This is the best map editor i ever had the pleasure to work with. Amazing work, dude. Really.

Thank you!

There's some discussion on DoomWorld forums about your editor, here: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/showthread. ... id=1152391

I think it would be great if TrenchBroom could read the textures directly out of the PAK files of the game, especially for people not used to quake editing. I have written code to do this, e.g. my 'qsavetex' program which is GPL'd -- you can browse the source here: https://sourceforge.net/p/oblige/code/9 ... /qsavetex/ or find it in the oblige-428-source.zip download.
