WAD Conversion sketch

Subject: WAD Conversion sketch 

I thought again about the recent discussion of the 
possibility of a WAD conversion, and I recognized that 
I forgot one important detail. IMO the 2D BSP and a 
REJECT lump w/o special effects contains all information 
necessary to create a valid Quake BSP. 

We do not need a new BSP/REJECT builder for conversion. 

Any such converted map will still have only one floor 
and ceiling per z coordinate, or BSP and REJECT would not 
be sufficient for conversion. Nonetheless, the advantages 
seem to be worth the effort. 

I refrained from posting a lengthy but still sketchy 
proposal to the list. If you are interested, you will 
find a pointer on the Quake Developers Support page, 
at 

   http://www.nero.uni-bonn.de/~dn/q-sup/ 

I have a deadline on easter weekend, and will probably 
not do much on this until then. If somebody is already 
working on this, please let me know.
