I'll have to tinker around with gmax -- that might work pretty well for what I want to do.

it'll probably do exactly what you want to do.

I wonder what kind of legal restrictions there are on gmax.

Heh.

Maybe what I can do is create a compiler that will read in .md3 files.  I'm not sure what the limitations are as far as # of polygons and # of different textures you can use is.  It wouldn't really let you apply surface flags and stuff, tough.  Hrm.

if we could have a mesh for the ground, and burshes for the buildings, that would be great...and it's pretty hard to make buildings in gmax. or 3dsmax.

While it wouldn't be hard to combine brushes and meshes in the compiler, it would be pretty hard to make maps like that.  I mean, if half the map is made in gmax, and the other half in BSP or something... it'd be hard to see how it all fits together.
