Please tell me what is the best program to create levels (like in CS) for 3D games... Thank you!

I used to a program call world edit to make cs level, but that was several years ago. So I don''t what people use these days.

Where can I download that World Edit?

WorldCraft is the program I''ve always been using. It''s changed name though, to Hammer, I think.

I have downlaoded that Valve Hammer World Editor but I thin it''s only for creating maps for CS... Or I am wrong???

You''re wrong. WorldCraft can, with the proper addon files, make maps for any HL mod and I think it also works with the Quake series and spinoffs (.BSP format).

So can I create levels for my game? And what if I don''t have CS installed on my computer?

Your game has to support .bsp files for levels and you''ll need to make an addon file that tells WorldCraft the game information. Not sure how you do any of that. But I''m sure you''ll have fun figuring it out.

2d maps, heightmaps, fully 3d maps?

I know fully 3d maps are tempting, but heightmaps are much more practical because of the comparative size. Heightmaps are nice and small, fully 3d maps are INSANELY large if you''re doing it with an entire world.

Ok. Thanx. I hope I will not have any problems with it...
