Gif Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Whats the difference between the two editors? Is one better than the other? I'm using JKII right now, but is GTK better or easier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky_Baccy Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 From what little experience I have of each, I can say that GTK is a bit more user-friendly (especially the 3D window), and it seems generally more stable and robust than JK2Rad... Also, JK2Rad (which I started on) wouldn't compile, but GTK would, although the opposite has been the case for a few people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyque64 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I was also never able to get JKIIRadiant to compile, Id always get some wierd error and the prog would crash. I shelved the idea of making maps till GtkRadiant was released and decided to try one more time. Lucky for me it works great. Im having a blast messing around with map making. I just wish there were more tuts for JK2. (Q3 and RtCW tuts dont really work for JK2 sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gif Posted May 28, 2002 Author Share Posted May 28, 2002 Alright, more opinions are wanted. And, what does everyone suggest to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volrathxp Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 i am between both... i use gtk to really build and then i use jk2r to do my leak checking if i find one, cuz the new gtk doesn't exactly have that feature...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniKorn Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I think you have something misinstalled, since gtk does have the leakchecking feature. I'm 90% sure of it, didn't get any leaks in my duel maps and at the moment my ctf map isn't leaking either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grudge Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 GtkRadiant is definitely the best choice. It is continually updated, very robust, and has got features that JKIIRadiant is missing. And definitely gets more support from the Q3 engine mapping community. (And yes, the leak checking feature works great in GtkRadiant. You may have to load the pointfile manually though (File >> Pointfile... and choose .prt file with the same name as the .map file)) // Grudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudopath Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 I prefer Gtk to edit and use JK][ in certain circumstances like leak testing. If there is an option in Gtk I have come across it yet. Gtk is far superior in its interface, case in point 3D view, and the use of the mouse wheel is very helpful. JK][ was also sonewhat less than stable ;( I suggest downloading them both and trying them. - Pseudopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
