Editing TrenchBroom

A level editor for the Quake engine and related family of games supporting Quake, Quake 2, Hexen 2, and more. The project was started by long time Quake community member [[SleepwalkR]] and maintained by him and EricW with community member code contributions. It uses a single 3D view and has optional traditional 2D views, and boasts some very handy vertex manipulation.  [http://kristianduske.com/trenchbroom/ Website]
