It is the source for designing a map using tools provided by Id
software or other developers who have improved radiant.

This .map file is compiled into a bsp which is the world you get
fragged in. ;)

you need to compile it with the bspc.

Download gtk radiant, compile the .map file then put the resulted .bsp into 
the quake3\baseq3\map subfolder.
Open Quake 3, write:
sv_pure 0
then charge the map with the command:

map *
where "*" is the name of the map without .bsp
(be sure that the map name will not contain spaces, use underscores but not 
spaces!)
