Loki Announces Quake III Arena Editor for Linux
Beta Version of Linux SDK Now Available


We proudly announce the beta release of Linux SDK for use with Quake III 
Arena.

The full version of Linux SDK will benefit Linux enthusiasts and aspiring 
game developers alike by allowing them to create maps and game code 
modifications under Linux. Windows users have had this capability since 
the release of the original Quake game.

Linux SDK offers Linux users a toolchain for content creation. It 
combines software for image processing, conversion and editing with a 
fully-featured map editor compatible with the Quake III engine. The 
features include custom texturing, lighting, patches, shaders, entities 
and more. It is based in part on the QERadiant code from id Software, Inc.

The beta software can now be downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.lokigames.com/pub/beta/q3sdk. The README contains important 
information on system requirements and known issues.

This early test release is not supported, but we encourage users to 
report bugs on our website at http://fenris.lokigames.com/ and to discuss 
the tools on news://news.lokigames.com/loki.games.q3sdk. 


Enjoy!
