Installation

MacRadiant is a port of the GtkRadiant map editor for the Idtech 3 and 4 engine. It exists thanks to Eridan. The only pre-requisit is that you have Apple's X11 to use it

Getting MacRadiant

You can get the most up to date version of MacRadiant 1.4 at http://ingar.satgnu.net/gtkradiant/index.html#download

You'll also need to get the game packs. GtkRadiant supports Quake 3, Star Trek: Elite Force, SOF2, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, Wolfenstein: ET.

The original GtkRadiant is in a bundle, containing GtkRadiant 1.4 and GtkRadiant 1.5, can still be downloaded from www.redsaurus.net/macradiant/GtkRadiant_1.4_1.5_Macintosh.dmg , but it requires a PPC mac. It already contains a Packs Installer, but unless you need GtkRadiant 1.5, I recommend getting the most up to date version rather than downloading this.

Don't forget to read the documentation, and happy mapping!

Problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard

MacRadiant has some problems with Leopard and Snow Leopard, but you can work around them as follows (taken from Eridan's posts on the forum): Leopard

  • First, you need to update X11. Get the latest Leopard version from trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz
  • Navigate inside your MacRadiant 1.x bundle and locate the "script" file inside Contents/Resources. To open "Contents/Resources", just control-click or right-click on the MacRadiant 1.x icon. A menu should appear. Select "Display content" or something similar and a window should pop up, with a "Contents" folder in it. Open the "script" file with your favorite text editor and remove the group of lines starting from the line
      1. Work around ...etc...

down to (and including) the line export DISPLAY= ...etc... (15 lines in all I think). Then, you should have, at the end of the file : ulimit -n 512 exec "$CWD/sw/ .... etc ....

  • Fire up the Terminal application (in /Applications/Utilities/) and type the the following three lines (in the following, YOURPATH should be replaced by the path to your MacRadiant application bundle; don't forget to press the RETURN key at the end of each line) :
cd "YOURPATH/MacRadiant 1.4.app/Contents/Resources/sw/lib"
mv libiconv.2.dylib libiconv.2.dylib.orig
ln -s /usr/lib/libiconv.dylib libiconv.2.dylib

Snow Leopard

  • Make the changes as for Leopard - note you don't need to update X11 though.
  • Fire the Terminal application
  • Go to the lib folder inside the MacRadiant bundle by entering the following line (press the return key at the end)
cd "/Applications/MacRadiant 1.4.app/Contents/Resources/sw/lib"

(If MacRadiant is not located in the Applications folder, change the beginning of the preceding line accordingly)

  • Type the following line and press the return key :
rm libxml2.2.dylib
  • Type the following line and press the return key :
ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib libxml2.2.dylib

If you still have problems, make a post on the forums.
