DescentBB

I tried devil but is not work on Vista even with the XP patch. Can anybody help with that or is there a better one.

DLE-XP works in Vista and is available free of charge. It'll probably feel a bit different to Devil, but it still lets you make Descent 1 levels.

AND, it is more versatile than DEVIL!

Since Descent 3's graphics are already quite out of date, don't you think it's a waste of time to still consider levels for Descent 1?

That depends on why one is making levels.

What might that be?

What does graphics have to do with it?

Actually, D2X-XL (which can play D1 levels) has better graphics than D3 (especially when using the hires textures).

That can occasionally be true, I agree. It isn't much easier to take advantage of those graphics in D2X-XL than D3, though, unfortunately - mostly because it takes a lot of work to design and texture-map structures that can beat it.

I have learned from the results of those who make missions that some level designers/builders prefer making D1/2 missions because it is not as difficult to make. D3 missions take way more time to create and debug than D1/2 missions.

It's because D3Edit is total rubbish. It'd be fine if you could import meshes and textures from other applications that can build them properly, but if I knew of a way to do that I would have long ago.
