: Believe me, no one would like to see a carbon version of Forge completed -
: Pfhorge or otherwise

What? Not even Adam? Looks like you accidentally said the opposite of what you meant.

: but I've been saying for a while now that a more
: fruitful approach would be two-pronged - Mac-compatible versions of level
: editors for a more modern engine such as Q3, and a tool for importing
: existing Marathon files into files that could be used with that engine
: (both for Mac and PC).

There's no worse insult to a Q3 map than to say it looks like something ported straight from Doom, which Marathon maps would. You'd have to basically redo every room from scratch anyway.

On IMG once, I read about an open-source project called the dimension3 engine, intended for making games under Mac OS X. I don't know if it ever reached a point where it was cross-platform, or Marathon-worthy.

: Once that is done, there would be no need to work
: on improving the code for a decade-old game engine. 3D rendering is an
: order of magnitude more difficult problem than level editing. Look at
: Pfhorte - it was developed nearly overnight.
