This would be quite nice.
I'm not getting good results. I'm passing -bsp2
and -path
(thanks to you). Are there other arguments I should be passing?
Yeah, I want to do a tutorial on how to set this stuff up, but I haven't gotten around to it. Time keeps running away from me!
I wouldn't use -bsp2, as I don't think that format is 100% supported correctly. It's only necessary when you go beyond certain limits.
Edit: I'm not actually using any qbsp flags, personally. -path might be necessary if your wad files aren't in the same directory as the .map file or the full path for the .wad files isn't specified, but isn't required.
In my case I suppose I need -path
, unless I'm missing something. qbsp was complaining that it couldn't find my textures, and using -path
fixed it.
I'm not using wad files, just loose textures, but it seems to be working fine.
I take back what I said earlier. I am using one command line parameter: -subdivide 0
This isn't necessary, though. It just reduces the amount of subdivision that happens, because we don't have the same limits that Quake does.
Also, I just updated the addon to support the BSP2 format, though you really shouldn't use that format unless needed, as it just makes larger files. Ericw's qbsp will automatically switch to BSP2 if you go beyond the limits that can be stored in vanilla Quake BSP.

@Skaruts which compiler are you using? with Ericw's qbsp i don't get a -path
option 🤔
I'm using ericw's qbsp. I got it from the description in jitspoe's video about the plugin.

Btw, the -path argument only takes one directory at a time, as far as I can tell. If you have textures in subfolders, you have to do -path for each of the subfolders. I just made a batch file for it, and I call it from TB.

The Linux version of qbsp doesn't seem to support the path option, I use the Windows version over wine to get around it, along with a bash file to shove all the texture folders in it.
This project is so neat!
I'm pretty new to TrenchBroom and the bsp workflow in general, and hit a bit of a stumbling block with mapping textures to materials in godot: it wasn't obvious to me initially that I needed to pass the
-path
flag toqbsp
, so that it would know where to find my textures. I'm not sure what the best way to document this would be, and perhaps people that are more familiar with the toolchain just know to do this already, but it could help others have an easier time with their initial experiments if there was an explanation of how to export successfully from TrenchBroom.Thanks again for this plugin, it was super gratifying to see my first experiments with TrenchBroom load into Godot :)
