The TrenchBroom Level Editor for Quake

Have you ever thought about adding an option to export to OBJ?

No, I haven't, and I'm not sure it's possible / feasible. What would you use it for?

I'm a very good Quake 1 mapper and i've been playing around with UDK and Unity lately. Being able to export levels to OBJ would allow me to use my levels in virtually any game engine, not just Q1. Also, your level editor is very intuitive and MUCH better than UDK's default BSP tools or Unity's non-existing ones.

I see. So would you want everything exported (brushes with "outside" faces and all) or only the "insided" facing faces of the brushes?

this is just crashing when i started the exe :/
too bad i want to test this....

EDIT: looks like my gfx card isnt supported... A bit Ridicilous for a Quake editor :/

@JasonX

There is a well working workaround to get your map as a model
at least if you are using Blender it is going to be straight forward

Here is the link that i posted 1 site before

it contains all intel you need - to get something from TrenchBroom into Blender and to your Engine of choice.

I know this is no direct solution and my appologizies if am moving the discussion away
- ofc a export to .obj function would be great to have.

hey there hasnt been an update for TB in a while was wondering if its still being worked on? also if it is can i request to have selection/brush scaling added? it would be ultra useful.

Sleepwalkr is working on a whole new implementation.

really? well i cant wait for the new version. trenchbroom is my favorite editor.

It does make mapping fun, like Sketchup for Quake.

Yes, a new version with many new features and support for other games is under way, but unfortunately I don't have as much time to work on it as I'd like, so it's still a couple of months off.
