Hey this is interesting. Did you write the rendering code in Delphi too?

Did a bit of search, is it QuARK?

Yes the rendering code is in Delphi too. It uses an OpenGL control i wrote some years ago[0] which include OpenGL bindings for Delphi 2 (i haven't tested later versions). The control is actually a conversion of one i made for Borland C++ Builder [1].

It is not QuArK, though AFAIK QuArK was made in Delphi too. There have been a few other Quake editors made in Delphi, like the qED Quake Editor which was one of the earlier Quake editors (the author wrote a book about quake mapping too[2]).

Man I love it. Back in 1999/2000 I was very into Quake mapping and Half-Life mapping. I didn't make any good maps but the community was great. I remember talking to other mappers on ICQ every night.

I believe the community is still thriving.

Thanks, I like your website BTW. It reminds me of the 90s.
