Re: [GD-General] Level Editors

[gekido <mi...@ub...>]

there are editors that have been made that support the .map format that
aren't specifically tied to the genesis 3d engine - the genesis 3d license
doesn't say anything about using the editors for games that don't use the
g3d engine itself - only if you are using the rendering technology do you
need to worry about the logo & license requirements.

all of the editors are open source, not sure about the 'plugin
architecture' - the jet 3d editor is supposed to be more designed that way i
believe, that might be another option - www.jet3d.com

anyways, hope this helps.
