If you download the 2024 trenchbroom (it was released weeks ago) this won't work, the Qodot cfg isn't up to date. My suggestion is to download the 2023 trenchbroom :) EDIT: check comment below, Godot 4.3 works with the newer trenchbroom
this is the perfect tutorial, you really go out of your way to do every single step, which was incredibly helpful and easy to follow while staying concise! bless you Kota
Awesome tutorial, looking forward to seeing more! Edit: For those of you stuck on the Export File TrenchbroomGameConfig portion, ensure that your trenchbroom path doesn't have spaces in it. I stored it in Program Files and running the script was throwing errors.
Thank you! This got me up and running, I tried using Qodot 4's instructions of setting up a 'Generic' project in Trenchbroom, but it never recognised my textures that way. Very happy to see .net Godot is no longer required as of Qodot 4 too, even if the documentation is lacking a little right now.
yeah that's a very fair point, i know some of the distinctions between PS1, N64, etc but i wanted to keep the tutorial a bit shorter and to the point with mostly godot footage for now and a few clips. admittedly the title was pretty clickbaity as well but i hope the video helped :)
Qodot isn't showing up for me when I run Trenchbroom under Select Game. Anyone else have this issue? Using Godot 4.2.1 Mono and Trenchbroom 2024.1 Release for Mac
Just started on my own project for the first time (fps game with quake movement with some inspiration from sof2), sof2 was made with an edited version of the quake engine back in 2002. I’m wondering if it would be possible to import sof2 maps the same way?
Qudot is not showing up in my list of games in trenchbroom??? I am very confused because I tried the 2024 version and the 2023 version and I definitely got the game config exporting working because I can see the file it made?
Ok I got it working but you need to use the 2024 version or it will say something along the lines of wrong version of Quodot, ignoring file. Also I missed the part in the tutorial where it said to export it into the games folder 😅
@@WolfScal I'm sorry man I have no idea what I was going on about it's been a while since I have used the program but good luck with your game / project your doing 😁
Some game configurations could not be loaded. The following errors occurred: Failed to load game configuration file 'Qodot\GameConfig.cfg This happens every time I try and export it from the plugin, and then try to launch it in trenchBroom
Hello! Thanks for the video :) i have a problem when i import my map in godot, i see the shapes but the textures appear invisible... did i miss something?
I was having this same issue and I fixed it doing this: be sure to put the "textures" folder precisely inside your godot project root folder. I was trying to organize my project differently and did not work before.
This is cool, but I think I'll stick with Cyclopes for now, if I can't get a good in-engine editor for Godot, I'm probably better off just using Blender.
When I made a map like this and then added a player controlelr with godot first person controller from Godots asset lib everything in the map was huge compared to the player. What kind of values should I use in TB and Godot to make them "fit"?
Can someone help with the textures? I did what it said in the vid but the textures aren't loading. IDK if this is cause there area differences in the newer versions of QoDot or I'm somehow doing something wrong, but despite having a folder called "textures" in my res// it's not appearing in Trenchbroom.
If anyone else is having this problem, check where your game folder in trenchbroom is. Mine was actually set to the folder I was using to store the maps so I had to change it there.
I don't know why but I always get an error: Failed to load game configuration file 'Qodot\GameConfig.cfg': At line 2, column 11: Unsupported game configuration version3; valid versions are 7, 8. I'm using Godot Engine v4.2.1, the newest Qodot version and the newest TrenchBroom version. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thank you in advance.
How would you add things like func_buttons and func_doors? Do you need to create your own FGD file and then code it on the Godot side? Would love to see a video on this too.
actually finishing up that video right now, haha. Qodot comes with a few FGD classes already, covering things like triggers, movers, signals, and doors. Next video will explain how they work towards the end and also how to create custom entities :) but to answer your question, yes you create a FGD definition and the logic is done on Godot's side when the node is created.
I don't wanna be salty but one blender introductry tutorial about the navigation and mesh creation should get anyone going I just found the hassel of installing trenchboom too much
if you havent gotten it working yet, make sure your map file is inside of your godot project directory, and as long the QodotMap node is configured correctly it should update when you rebuild on the node :)
I'm stuck at 2:00. Godot can't see the TrenchBroom folder. On my system it is located in /usr/share/TrenchBroom. I can see as far as /usr, but everything inside /usr is invisible to Godot. I toggled the "show invisible files" button too. Trying to copy and paste the file path into Godot's directory select dialog doesn't work, since it just auto-truncates back to "/usr". Any ideas?
Probable answer to my own question: don't_use_spaces_in_the_name_of_the_texture_in_TrenchBroom I have a question: some textures are not visible in Godot, but are visible whilebuilding in TrenchBroom its really bad scenario, because you can build a level, then put it in godot, and then find out that one of your textures just white. some textures are not visible in TrenchBroom, but visible in Godot, its not so bad, but can be difficult to build level blindly. Do anyone encounter that problem? What's wrong? All my textures are in .png and all are squares of 2 aka: 64, 128, 256 etc, what am I missing?
Grk radiant is a better map editor. And it saves into the same .map file. So use that instead and import into godot is huge. Maybe making my game might be closer than i think
Fixed! If someone is having this same problem, be sure to put the "textures" folder precisely inside your godot project root folder. I was trying to organize my project differently and did not work before.
@@klaatubarada6200Thank you! I had that problem and this solved it. For anyone reading: I tried to use 2k textures and they work fine. I just needed to set the UV scale to 0.015625 (32 / 2048). I suppose that formula can be adjusted to any texture size.
Would anyone happen to know if the imported TrenchBroom maps automatically generate a collision shape when imported into the Godot/qodot scene? I am trying to make a FPS controller and the character is falling through the floor after I give the map a full build. Thanks!
you can use paintdotnet or any other image editing program. you can put that pretty much anywhere in your porject and it will show up in trenchbroom, however i recommend placing them in textures for sake of keeping things tidy
for godot 4, yes. in godot 3, it uses GDscript so the setup is easier (plus godot 3 is better for certain stuff in 3d, especially if you want to export in HTML5. also has more community content since it's been around longer. there's a quake-based FPS controller for gd3 called Q_Move which i highly recommend)
@@ckorp666 Thanks. I currently learning 2D first but will eventually move to 3D. I like boomer shooters so if it helps in making level, I'll definitely going to use that.
qodot won't work in 4.0 without the C# support, same with TBLoader. you don't need to use the C# support for anything else if you don't want to, though, and the rest of godot is literally exactly the same. this was the first time I used mono (for this video)
for gd4 they ported the plugin to C#, but in gd3 it's in gdscript, so you don't need the .net stuff, and 3 is still a perfectly capable engine that's still being updated (also way better than 4 for 3D HTML5 games)
sorry about that, audio sounded fine before uploading and didn’t realize until video was already out for a bit. audio editing in youtube studio has been removed so I couldn’t fix it after uploading, future videos shouldn’t have such bad audio issues though
good video, terrible title. no map was made in 5 minutes - the videos isn't even that long. also levels aren't made in 5 minutes, especially not in the style of Quake or HL. instead the absolute begging of a single asset was made.
I agree, ill be working on better titles for future videos. the title is meant as explaining/getting started with maps in 5 minutes, which wouldn’t have caused the confusion but was a bit longer :)

When import Models to Godot are totally blank, no textures, any idea?
Question can you load map files at runtime, or does this have to be in the project?
A question, Qodot only support c#? No way for GDScript?
may I ask why qodot doesn't generate static body and collision shapes but only world spawn and meshinstance when full building?
