As I remember the doom 3 levels can be edited in ingame editor or with tadaa radiant. So you got it allready.
BTW nice pic Soulrebel.

So, a custom mapping project in radiant (for ET) today, can be remade into a D3 map eventually when D3 is out?
(= There will be D3 custom maps released that are simple conversions of old rtcw/et maps?)

No.
The map format for D3 is different from the one we use in ET. IIRC, it’s a mix of brush primitives and something else. If you open a D3 map in the current release of radiant you’ll get weird patch meshes all intertwined. I tried it not long ago just for fun.
Those maps won’t be compiled as we know it. The maps just sit there as .map and they’re interpreted as you load them up. It’s not complex when you work in the editor, actually, it’s seamless. The inner workings are quite different though.
As for converting ET maps to D3 format… It might be possible. Though converting from normal format to brush primitives format breaks texture alignment everywhere and since I can’t remember if it’s a totally new format (mixed with BP format) or BP it might be harder than that. Though I’m pretty sure someone will come up with a way to do just that.

lots of info (but NO downloads) about doom 3 editing here, however i think posting links to actual downloads of doom3 stuff is a big no no on any respectable site.

Don’t run to your local game store just yet. Anyone who is commenting on the game or editor is speaking in reference to the alpha leak from last year. Therefore, all conversations on the matter are generally frowned upon. Hopefully, the wait won’t be much longer. Aug 03? ::fingers crossed::

And, incidently, is some child of radiant
I think the radiant is not that bad. a lot of games have been developed with this tool.
It’s sometimes a little bit tricky and unhandy compared to gtkradiant but at least a tool you can work woth.
