Trenchbroom: Copy and pasting textures no longer works.

[bstordeur]

Copy and pasting textures from a face to another no longer works in the latest version, worked fine on previous versions.

System Information

TrenchBroom 2020.2 Build v2020.2 Release Win64 on win10

Steps to Reproduce

Select a face with a texture, ctrl-c, select another face with a different texture, ctrl-v, nothing happens!

Argh.. so the bug is that parseNodes doesn't throw an exception here:

 PasteType MapDocument::paste(const std::string& str) {
            try {
                const std::vector<Model::Node*> nodes = m_game->parseNodes(str, *m_world, m_worldBounds, logger());
                if (!nodes.empty() && pasteNodes(nodes))
                    return PasteType::Node;
            } catch (const ParserException& e) {

when given a single line of text that's a brush face, like ( -80 32 16 ) ( -80 32 17 ) ( -79 32 16 ) pizzeria/metal_normal 0 0 0 1 1, so we don't try to handle it as a texture paste.

Edit, was broken by e34206bbe0c4d8951230f6a6c7f4aac62c8563e8 - I guess the exception handling changes there did not preserve the prior behaviour exactly.

Looks like we have to manually transfer texture co-ordinates and scale units to another face :( Whats the solution?

@serious-coder20 There are various Alt+left click modifiers for transferring texturing:

Hello.. thanks for the reply. Was wondering if you could give any inputs regarding the following :

I am trying to experiment on modelling / texturing rocky surfaces in TrenchBroom. To make uneven surfaces, I clip the brush many times and then push/pull vertices. But the problem comes when even after doing through texture alignment (both vertically / horizontally) by pressing Shft + Alt + Right Click, the model ends up with 3-4 seams. See the attached image (seams are marked in white).

Is it possible to get a completely seamless texture in such a model with uneven surface in TrenchBroom? Is there any tool / script to help project a texture on complex surfaces? (Just like planar mapping in 3d max)?

Thanks.

Thanks.

@serious-coder20 it doesn't look like your questions are related to this bug. If you have questions such as this, it's better to drop by on discord. Thanks!
