[Gtkradiant] Q1 Maps

[Forest Hale]

Quark has the special capability of editing entities in a compiled .bsp file, without the source .map.  Rather different functionality than GTKRadiant.

Not aware of any other editors with that capability actually.

There is still some interest in traditional netquake, and it still has a community, but most gamers dont find it interesting anymore in lieu of all the new games out since then I suppose.

If I happen to learn more about making maps while using it, then thats fine too
