I was wondering if there was an equivelant of Worldcraft or QuArk coming out for the Macintosh. I thought I had heard something about it but couldn't find any confirmation on the subject. It seems like a pain in the arse for Mac users creating things through Virtual PC not to have access to the same programs that Windows users have.

Theres GtkRadiant but you cannot use it for commercial games. I am also working on modifying JQT in my free time, but recently I have had very little free time. Ill put it on my website once I finish creating my website...

Edit: cant figure out apostrophes, keeps rejecting them

Hmmm I know I replied to this already. I think I may have posted it in another area....Anyway.

Quiver for Quake I is about the only funtional level editor I've found so far for the Mac. There are several Level editors in the works ( I think I saw that at planet Quake).

My last post had an URL.with info.

Since we're on the subject....

What are you other Mac folks using to compliment Torque in the way of software?

I'm looking at CodeWarrior LE for the coding... is that gonna be strong enough?

Also I need suggestions for a modeling App.

My appologies to anyone that already answered the same questions for me in another section... I can't seem to find the darn thing.

Any input or info would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback, that GtkRadiant looks like the tool that I will be using once it comes out.

ProjectBuilder & Lightwave are my main tools. Codewarrior is a better IDE than ProjectBuilder is at the moment, though.

Thanx CJ... Been considering Lightwave for awhile. Never heard of Project Builder. Checked MetroWerks site and there is a learning edition of Codewarrior....says it comes with a compiler and is only $78.

Appreciate the feedback.

Project Builder is Apple's free development IDE, sitting on top of GCC. If you register (free) for the Apple Developer Connection, you can download the tools. It's also the 'Developer Tools' disc that some versions of OSX have come with.
