Do you want to code this or to supply example primitives?
I'v got cod4 tools installed here and checked some maps.
Mapformat import/export routines are modular and extensible, plus brush data looks familiar, so adding brushes must be simple and clean.
Curves and meshes look way different, and, i believe, their functionality and limits differ too, so this would likely require coding new primitive types or extending existing patch primitive.
One more question is how usable this would be w/o packages/textures/models support.
After trying cod4 radiant i can say, that this netradiant is notably smoother editing-wise, but cod's one stong side is support of all those engine specific things and flags; also layers and realtime lighting preview out of common things.
Overall good support of cod feels like quite massive business.

I'm not a coder by any means, so all I could provide examples of each radiants' version of a specific thing (brush, cylinder, curves, meshes) and provide testing.
What i've tried to do (unscuccessfully) is be able to make a prefab (like a building structure) in one of the radiants, and export it to OBJ. Reasons for this is for extra fine detailing with Maya and substance painter, then re-exporting to XMODEL_EXPORT on completion.
In the old COD series' the entire map was made almost entirely with brushes..like quake3\4\halflife 2, but newer (BO3+) is made with minimal brushes and almost everything else is models. This allows us (in theory) to make an entire map in Maya or 3DSMax and export everything as a series of models, with finer detailing to be completed in Radiant.
As for the more engine specifics, most of it now is just a tagged location box which the engine replaces at compilation. This is true for sound locations, FX locations, Model Locations, prefab locations. The different type of Volumes and Umbra are just a textured box (sky hollowed of course), which the engine also replaces at compilation.
Yes, this is probably a large undertaking, and perhaps I'm thinking of doing this incorrectly. I really do like netradiant far more than cod4\world at war radiants, but perhaps the effort required to code this with no real payoff to the community except a few of us modders..it probably wouldn't be worth your time.
I'll approach this a different way, and create the prefabs in Maya instead, so thanks for the consideration and the response 👍
Well done on this version of Radiant, keep up the good work :)
