Level Editors

#1 Hammer is such an editor just like WC both from one(i think), i dont know the exact difference between WC and Quark but Quark is more powerful than Worldcraft and more compatible with torque, go on Quark man.

#2 Well one big difference is that you can use QuArK in commercial projects and until other wise noted in Hammer's license you can only use in free games. Personally I find that QuArk is more intuitive to work with than Hammer but I have seen developers turn out very impressive works with both. I personally found it a pain to build a WAD file for Hammer when I wanted to change my textures. QuArk you simply need to load it and go ;) There are other differences and I think in the long run it will be personal preference that will better let you decide. I would suggest using both and seeing which you like better.

Honestly I have started making allot of my structures out of DTS models, at first we were going to use DIF interiors with Furballz but switched to cel shaded DTS objects. There is no noticeable slow in performance with the switch and we can make more detailed shapes without worrying about getting it to export.

#3 Would you tell me how can i use the 3D view and edit window using Quark?.

#4 Try this link, mgm.

#5 All right, you convinced me. I'll try to use QuArK. Thanks so much for your reply ; )

But, where do I find QuArK?

#6 You can find QuArK here. You'll also need to install a smaller version of Python to get QuArK running. They have a link to that on the page I linked to above. You might also want to give the documentation a read through when you set it up for Torque.

#7 Thanks a lot!

#8 I was using QuArK and a doubt appeared: can a game made with Torque and QuArK be modified by players that use QuArK? I mean if I've creating a game and I don't want anyone change my game (or create new levels) is QuArK a secure option?

#9 *very loud sigh*

#10 No matter what you do if people have the will then they are going to find the way to modify your game. Personally I don't have a problem if people want to modify a game I have made. If you like working with QuArK then keep using it and don't worry about people using it on your game. ;)

#11 All right.

#12 Hey guys... is there anyone used 3DWindow in Quark?, i couldn't find any documentation that solve my problem... when i click on 3D button that should bring the 3D window, i just see a blue screen that says can not find the palette.lmp file, if anyone used Quark he should worked in this 3Dview window certainly.(it must be one of the best features of Quark).

#13 It seems to me that all these model editors export to Torque's DTS format. Clients won't have access to the original files.

And Torque supports checksums. You can have the server enforce checksum consistency across resources, so clients have a Hard Time (major hackery) switching those resources (models, textures, whatever) without you allowing it.

All these security issues have come up with Tribes[2]. And they've been addressed.

I wouldn't worry.

#14 Mark is correct, with the exception that in the case of QuArK, it is DIF format that is created, not DTS.

#15 Hummm, now I'm calm. Thanks a lot.
