Welcome to qeradiant.com!

After a very long and exhausting development phase GtkRadiant is ready for a major release. There are many more things which could have been done better or could have been fixed, but without a development team it is not possible or sane to support GtkRadiant any longer.

Special note for Vista-users:
You have to disable the desktop-styling in the properties of GtkRadiant.exe! In case of wrong menu-rendering you can switch to the "Raleigh" gtk-skin.
The gtk-theme can be changed in [install-folder]/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

Known issues:
Radiant does not start on some systems and reports the following error:
"assertion failure: module system failed to initialise - see radiant.log for error messages"
Fix: Install the latest version of the MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
A detailed description can be found here



Linux-users:
There are no precompiled radiant-packages! Its impossible to provide tested packages for the many linux distributions. If you want gtkradiant as a rpm/dep/ebuild-package, tell your package-maintainers! If you can't wait for that, you have to compile GtkRadiant from SVN. A more detailed guide can be found here: Compile guide

The radiant-package for Debian, maintained by Frits Daalmans, is looking for a "sponsor". Details
