Basically I would like to get Gtkradiant working on a Mac running 10.6.8, that used to run 10.4.something.
I looked at a tutorial on how get it working on intel Macs, but, the file (called "script" inside the "show package contents" option) has the permissions set to "read", not "read and write", so I (and the computer's owner) tried to change the permissions to "read and write", but, it changed virtually nothing.  
Then I thought I would try to get it to work on a Windows, and make a map there, then transfer the map back to this Mac, but, it doesn't have a Quake 3 based game installed on it so that was a no-go....
Also, if this is any help, I would like to use Gtkradiant to make maps for Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy.
So, if anyone has any insight, that would be great!

I meant to say what my problem is....  Which is the fact that when I open Gtkradiant no window shows up (the icon on the dock & menu tabs up on the top of the screen are the only things I can see).
Again, insight is appreciated!

I have figured out a few more things...  The reason I could not edit the file was because it was in the installer!     
I tried copying the Four icons from the installer into the Applications folder and tried to open it there, still it did not work...  I tried the tutorial again and I could save the changes I made to "script", but the program, after opening it, just flashes on then quits, not even long enough for Activity Monitor to read it.  Then I tried it again on the desktop and still nothing happened.  I have tried about 5 times, and it's just the same thing.  So, if anyone knows how to get it working, help if you can, please!

I was wondering, does anybody on this forum know what I am talking about?  Because I was looking at what I said and it does sound a bit like a tech geek talking. If there is anything unclear, please ask.   
Believe it or not, when I search "how to get gtkradiant for intel macs working" (or something like that) on google the top result for it is this topic!    
Oh, and that "how to get gtkradiant working on an intel mac" tutorial I mentioned on my first post, well here's the link in case anyone wants to see it/use it.  Sometimes it won't load though.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get it working (meaning gtkradiant), please reply!

Well...no.  I was nodding my head as if I understood just to be polite.  You seemed to be having such a good time that I didn't want to interrupt you.

Hmmmm....  I had wondered about all those views of this topic...  
I am glad somebody said something instead of me continuing to !  
Is this topic amusing?    
If so, I didn't think news/blah-blah-blahing about how I can't get a program to work would be something,
well, amusing or interesting!
So, is anyone on here a Quake 3 Mac mapper with Gtkradiant (the link takes you to Wikipedia)?
Amusement at the subject, or help/info/insight is helpful (even if you are just interested, (or something like that)!)!

I just didn't want you to think that nobody was paying attention.  I don't have any experience with Gtkradiant other than downloading it long ago and then having second thoughts due to time and motivational constraints.

I tinkered with GtkRadiant waaaaaay back, but my interest in mapmaking has waned pretty much (I've never really finished anything anyway...). But I'd assume that this thread would be helpful for at least somebody, so I'd keep it coming.

This might belong in Windows Gaming, I don't know...
Anyway, I said in my first post that I tried to get GtkRadiant to work on a Windows (running XP) then transfer it to a Mac...
So, would it be (even though the Windows machine does not have a Quake 3 or id Tech(?) based game on it) possible to make a world on there - transfer using, say, a disc, then write whatever .???s need to be written, package it, throw it in the base folder and type (in game) map WhatChOmOddDooger and play it (even if it's empty of NPCs to start with, I'll take it anyway, I can "spawn" in-game)?
