Ok Ive been sitting on this for awhile and Now im seriously determined to make some kick ass maps, but im limited to a mac. I know there is something called fire? to make maps on mac.
I don't care what i have to do, as long as it works, im willing. Just include a step-by-step thing if it's complicated.

flaME for Mac, never tried it but I think it is the only one for Mac's currently. For basic controls see
here, BlueMaxima also wrote a guide for it.

you need the mono runtime for it - just google "mono for mac" and download it

hey all - I'm also hoping to get the map editor up and running is OSX . . . can't get either of the files linked by macuser to extract though, terminal says they do not have a valid CIL image . . . I was also confused by the instructions to rename them and put them in the same directory (which i did) . . .
i tried using EZ 7z at first, didn't work, then i tried extracting them in terminal using mono as suggested above - very much a fish out of water here, i admit . . . help?
has anyone got the mapeditor working on OSX from those files?

No no no. You type "mono" then drag flame.exe onto the terminal to get the path to it and THEN hit enter
It should look like this "mono /folder/folderb/flame.exe"

steps
1. install mono from the link i provided
2. download and extract the 7z files that contain flaME
3. open terminal
4. type mono and then hit the spacebar once
5. navigate to the location where you extracted flaME and select flaME.exe
6. drag flaME.exe onto the terminal window
7. hit enter once back in the terminal window
8. it may take a while to launch the first time - be patient
what you did was to drag the mono install dmg onto the terminal instead of typing mono + space and THEN dragging on flaME.exe

First download a program to extract this kind of zip file -
http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html
rename: (
note: they must be done exactly as is written)
Debug.7z to Debug.7z.001
Debug2.7z to Debug.7z.002
the reason you have to go through these hoops is because of the forum upload system.
then extract Debug.7z.001 with the unarchiver linked above.
(note: by extracting the first file, both will be extracted - that is why we did the renaming)
