GtkRadiant
GtkRadiant is a free, open-source level editor and toolchain for games powered by id Tech engines. It includes map compilers, data authoring tools, and Q3Map2, with tools for 3D levels, terrain, and entity placement. The GtkRadiant 1.6 page lists support for games including Quake III Arena, QuakeLive, Urban Terror, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Quake2, Quake2: Remastered, Quetoo, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force, and Jedi Academy. Support for a game can depend on an active developer to test and address issues; some titles may require an older version or third-party fork. GtkRadiant reads and writes assets in a game's directory, and the project recommends installing the game first. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Linux distribution is through Flathub as a Flatpak; the Mac version requires XQuartz, MacPorts, and other dependencies. Volunteers maintain the GPL-licensed project, which is provided as-is without warranty or support. Listed help options include forums, IRC, tutorial sites, and a GitHub issue tracker.
