OK, I guess I'll go with Radiant if needed, then. Valve220 is for... Valve games, I suppose? I'm mapping for Q1 anyway, so it doesn't concern me. Wait, since when WC is Valve-exclusive? I remember it was once THE editor of reference for Quake. 

I don't know will this help you, but I mostly make everything on Trenchbroom 2 beta, but cylinders, spiral stairs etc. I make in J.A.C.K, it's like a radiant. I haven't received any issues so far, so I would recommend something like that - if you prefer more working on TB's 3d view but need some complex brushes too, use J.A.C.K it is quite easy to use. 

In Trenchbroom 2, there is couple bugs, but those are easy to avoid. One of bug, which might be already fixed, anyway - if you undo your events, it sometimes crashes, so remember save constantly. And also something weird happened me back then, when making brushes in J.A.C.K I have to open them in TB1 not TB2, then save it in TB1, and open it TB2. I said something wrong version.. but that way I made it to work. And again I'm not sure if these issues are already fixed. 

..then save it in TB1, and finally open it TB2. TB's console said something invalid something.. but anyway it opened in TB1 and I was able to save it. 

I prefer radiant because I like the control, albeit at a cost of speed, but as a novice that doesn't seem to have too much of an impact. However, complex multi-vert manipulation, as seen in czg's curve tut, isn't very practical/possible, unless I'm missing something.

TB seems like a very nice editor but I just prefer ortho 90% of the time. 

J.A.C.K is pretty much like Radiant. TB2 beta has ortho view also, but doesn't have much functionality - just about that grid snapping when it comes to those top, down, side views. 

I use TB 1.16 because I'm still under WinXP and apparently TB 2 doesn't like XP (I've tried).
I remember trying WC and Radiant back in the day but I quit because these programs weren't user-friendly enough for me. TB is, so I'm finally getting to it after 20 years. And now that I'm getting acquainted with the tools, I might be able to get used to Radiant. 

Isn't it written in the readmes? Which editor they build their maps on?

I can't remember the last time I read a readme. I suppose that's my problem right there.

Interesting lack of radiant use... 

Is func_detail recognized by every modern compiler? or is it Tyrutils only feature? I never used other compilers, so I don't know if they have this "feature" implemented.

p.s.
Guys you should consider combining all your thoughts into one post instead of multiple one-sentence posts every 5 minutes. And keep debates about headache and being funny in PM messages.
It looks like chat now, it's hard to search through this thread later, when you need specific information but you face wall of text instead...

I'm not ranting, just an idea how to make life easier ;) 

func_detail is also in rebb's (http://www.voidspark.net/projects/bjptools_xt/) 

And keep debates about headache and being funny in PM messages.

Do you mean you're not enjoying the PooHouse and Cumdump show??? It's so good it brought me out of retirement! 

I know I'm not. I find the stream of near useless 2 sentence posts that have appeared in multiple threads highly distracting.

I'm not at all in favor of banning people, but I don't think a posts per day limitation on new users would bother me. 

Quite honestly the forum should just be moderated. If it's obvious that drivel/chat posts will get deleted, then the perpetrators might learn to stay on-topic and put some fucking effort in maybe. 

So now on I will immediately suggest using my email for these conversations. Unfortunately the best feedback comes(after some time) when people can talk freely. So I apologise that my language-barrier or wall of text doesn't mean anything to you guys, mostly because it really wasn't targeted to you. I know myself that well, that now on I will jump right into email and will stop responding to messages in here. 

Ps. Watch your mouth Kinn. Some new here just wanted to be talkative. Why not talk about this like adults with them. I know people can learn from mistakes, anyway your way of speaking is in many cases quite negative or at least it sounds like it. 

Well that was just a few examples, I'm sure we can find maps made using Radiant. Not every readme has this kind of details, though.
