Hmm... ever try DCK?  Gnab it from FTP.CDROM.COM and give it a spin.
It's the best editor i've found - makes wad building a piece of cake.
I agree that many level editor are discouraging... DCK is pretty solid
though.  If you dig CAD, you'll dig DCK.


Quake will be more than a bit more difficult to build levels for i
think.  I say this because I believe myself to be quite good at building
DOOM wads and so one day i figured, "What the hell, gimmie a Descent
level editor and i'll crank out some groovy deathmatch levels!" :BZZT!:
Wrong, try again.  After messin' around with Devil for a while (the
descent level editor I dug up somewhere..) i realized that the 3d world
gets really funky and one cannot make something just 'look' right. It
must _BE_ right.  Can't have any gaps/holes/unconnected vertices.  Maybe
i didn't give it enough time but it looked to be a bitch.  I made a few
rooms, threw in some monsters, and nursed my wounds all the way back to
DOOM.
