What to use

#1 At the moment Quark is your only real choice. There are other programs in various states of developing a pipeline for Torque; i.e., Cartography, 3DWS, Delgine... all either are not complete or have some issue yet to be resolved. I think 3DWS has a new exporter but it comes with a pricetag. Garage Games is currently developing a custom-brewed map editor called Constructor but it won't be ready for a while.

#2 Quark, Hammer, and if its going to be a totally free game Radiant are all great choices.

#3 Whats a good interior editor?

#4 Read Matt Fairfax Nov 7, 2005 .plan and make your decision. I use QUARK... it is free. I will buy Constructor when it comes out. It will work the best with TGE and TSE because it is built with the Torque platform.

Here is a link to "The DIF Exporter Matrix" by Alex Swanson that might help you also.

#5 Actually, 3D World Studio supports Torque just as well as QuArK does, and has a much better interface.

Try them all, then use what you like best.

#6 Wasn't there a GPL'd release of a map editor when the Quake 3 source was released? If so thats probably an option as well since output of gpl programs is not covered under the gpl :)

#7 Yes, the MFC Radiant is included. Unfortunately for Mac and Linux users, there's a lot of work to be done to get it to work on those OS's while being able to prove that it does not utilize the GTKRadiant source as a derivative template.
