You can try the trial version, or buy the student version, which I think is ~$300.

Cheapest would deffinately be a student version. A one year license student version is about 200 (http://www.studica.com/products/product ... ctid=51259). You might be able to find a lower price somewhere, that was just a quick google search.

but i don't have 200 dollars. how about if i just use gmax and then exported a bunch of bsp's with 3ds max

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Could you rephrase it?

He's saying that he will create sbsp's with GMAX and use 3ds Max to export the SBSP to .ASS format I'm assuming.

But that doesn't change the fact that he needs $200, hence me not understanding his point.

i mean that i will create a bunch of bsp's then get a trial of 3ds max and then create the maps the rest of the way.

You could, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of improving the BSP.
