QEBSPEditor

I thought it would be interesting to have an easy tool to edit some Quake 1 map entities. What better a tool that you don’t have to install?

I’ve been interested in browser-based tools for a while. They reduce the friction a lot since all you need is a browser. No need to install anything, you just click and boom there it is.

This tool over time added a few more features like replacing textures and doing some kind of lighting fixes. All very basic, nothing fancy.

This tool has seen wide usage and a lot of the features were added from request from users.

One of the features I’m most proud of is the fact that it can handle BSP files from unsupported games. Because a lot of games inherit their heritage to Quake, their entity definitions are usually similar, so the editor uses a best-effort loader which will try to find this section without disturbing the rest of the format.
