Whatever. I want to draw sprites in a sprite editor, please. Using some other app, then importing a picture is not my idea of a good workflow. I spent several hours trying to produce a fucking sprite, which I could have more productively used for mapping.
Not needing an emulator would be nice, too. I'm pissed off at the number of people who think that "a win32 GUI app" or even .NET would be a good thing. Ffs, don't we have enough problems already?
After this project, I really hope to map for a modern engine with reasonable tools that run on my fucking OS. These are pretty much the criteria I'll use to pick another game to create content for. Quake needs to get its shit together. I'm not asking for much.
