Radiant Or D3 Editor - Same?

[BStoltman]

I keep reading people who work with radiant and some with Doom3 Editor. Are they the same thing. Which one should I be learning for the Darkmod. Which is better if they are different.

 

SO many questions so little time.

Doom3 Editor is somewhat of a nickname. It's official tag is D3Radiant, or a version of Radiant built specifically for D3.

 

The only 2 platforms you have to choose from are GTKRadiant or D3Radiant. They're basically the same interface wise, the only difference is that GTK is open source. But GTK still has some catching up to do before it can match D3R in features. Right now it only half supports D3.

Quark sort of semi-supports D3 as well, I guess you will have a few more viable options available as more people get to work on D3 maps, but I think most people are quite happy with D3Radiant as it ships with D3, and frankly I don't see why you would bother with any of the other 3rd party editors when the one that comes with D3 is better supported. Unless for some reason you want to edit D3 in Linux, in which case I believe that GTK Radiant is the only one that works, but don't quote me on that.
