i mentioned it in a beta forum thread today but jcl didn't answer during the afternoon and now is weekend.

i should have asked sooner (at the beginning of a7) about this. the possibility to directly export to wmb from applications like blender would be great even if there were a working map compiler. i could imagine that it wouldn't be that hard to do because it would only be about exporting. i don't care about compiling a BSP tree and light mapping would get handled by blender.

i am not sure though how complicated the wmb format is, if it contains any encryption or keys or anything like that and if conitec is interested in having it open. if i remember correctly in a6 or a5 times there already were some enquiries about it and conitec didn't seem to be very eager to give out informations back then.

we could also try reverse engineering but this would be a lot of maybe not so fun detective work. hm... with open source software you don't have such problems.
