[Gtkradiant] gtkradiant 1.5 / quake4

Thanks Tim,

I have downloaded gtkradiant-1.5.0-2004-12-05.i386.rpm, somewhere from the net but I want to make sure I have the right tools first, can you please provide me a link to the apropriate (latest released by you) releases of gtkradiant 1.4 and 1.5 (for linux), Please. I look forward to start with this.

Also setting this releases up for Quake4 editing ( as you suggest), is it done in the preferences window, or editing the code before compiling?

Thank for your help.

You should start by setting up Quake4 editing with GtkRadiant 1.4 or
1.5, by using one of the builds we released, so you can compare and test.

Then get ZeroRadiant 1.6 setup and start configuring a game pak that
works with it.

You'll probably have to start by learning about how the Radiant code
breaks things down into functional modules, maybe bring some of those
modules back to life (the quake4 map format module at least) .. update
the structure of the Quake4 gamepak to work with ZeroRadiant, work from
there.

To avoid a lot of frustration, you should be on our IRC channel
(#qeradiant irc.telefragged.com) while you are working on this so you
can ask questions and get some directions.
