QuakeEd is a GUI editor released by John Carmack that produces .MAP files for Quake. Runs on NeXTstep.

QuakeEd was released to the public by John Carmack, head programmer of id Software. It is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) editor that runs under the NeXTstep operating system. Bernd Kreimeier later cleaned up the source code and applied patches to it.

QuakeEd produces .MAP files, which then need to be processed using the qbsp/light/vis tools.

Tips
  • QuakeEd requires the NeXTstep operating system.
  • The .MAP files generated by QuakeEd need further processing.
