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.
