In 2026 which map editor(s) are being used?

Hello

What is the map editor of choice these days? (in 2026) Is NetRadiant still the editor of choice?

Hello, NetRadiant remains the recommended editor and works very well for Xonotic mapping: https://netradiant.gitlab.io/
I'd recommend building NetRadiant from source if you can, as the latest pre-compiled version is now quite old (2022), and both NetRadiant and the Xonotic gamepack have been updated since then.

However, NetRadiant-custom – which is a popular fork of NetRadiant – also works straight out of the box and offers many quality-of-life features: https://github.com/Garux/netradiant-custom

These are basically your 2 options.

Hi SpiKe, there are still no online (browser) solutions? These days it seems like every app has a browser version, maybe that would be something for NetRadiant or similar...

Not that I’m aware of.
I’m not sure how feasible it would be, as you’d still need to load local assets, and compiling the map with q3map2 is pretty CPU-heavy.
