General Mac question

Ok, I'm on an iMac, and I read that if you enable cheats ($testCheats=1; in the console) and press F11 in-game you go to the editor. I tried and it did. I also read someone's post about the Terrain stuff and how all it did was make the curses leave a trail, and someone replied and said it hadn't been made yet so that menu item is as of now useless. Same here. My question is, can I make a level without the Terrain editor? Or is it impossible because I can only make objects like gems and Super Jumps, but not actual level area? Being on an iMac I'd just have to wait as I can't use Quark or such, which is fine by me, but I'd like to know if I technically can create levels.
On a related matter, if I go to "New level" there's an error box that says...
Missing mission template "newMission.mis".
Is it the same thing, or not?
"Ah, Survival of the Fittest, what a fine map;
The kind of thing that makes me want to hack,
And chop and smash my comp, in such awful pain,
'But he made it look so easy!' ah, I've gone insane!"

The Radiant developers (http://www.qeradiant.com/) are currently porting Radiant, a Quake 3 level editor, to Mac OS X. I don't know if it will support the Torque engine though, so I don't know if it will work with Marble Blast.

It looks to be out, in a development release anyway. But you have to install X11 first, which I haven't gotten around to doing yet. I'll give it a shot this weekend and post how it goes.

You can try this link. I don't know of anyone who has this working with Torque engine though.

All marble blast levels are interior objects (like the buildings in tribes 2) made in QuArK, but you could use any quake .map editor to design them. There aren't many good .map editors on the mac that I know of, unfortunately - perhaps some others in the forums can point out their favorites.
I enjoy the poem, by the way :)
