Actually Red I will correct you slightly on that one  8)

I have been experimenting with several tools from the gamebryo engine sdk and I can say taht we just may be able to modify the maps very very soon since I have been able to load a portion of the world map into a editor...just minus everything aside from the enviromental lights.....but I hope that will change soon enough. I can say that the maps dont use the format gta uses....the maps actually are nif models and can be edited. I will explain what I can in a writeup soon.

Well I did notice even the most basic things in the environment are nif files and can be found in World...so I'm not too surprised on that.

...but from the way you described it, it sounds like only current existing maps can be modified instead of adding our own...I wouldn't be surprised though. I mean, we'd also have to code in where the characters would spawn, where the door is, how to get into that interior, etc.

I wonder also if the clipping (whether a character falls through a texture or not) is easy to code.

The only thing in the environment that I know how to modify as of now is the objects within the environment...like the chairs, desks, lamps, posters, etc.

I haven't personally tested it, but there are many environmental objects listed in the World file. I imagine they can be reskinned much like how character models are using nifskope and Photoshop.

on the maps we could add our own but it will mean starting at the bottom like we have with everything else. I will be adding a complete writeup on my bully tut site im working on here shortly after this post since I have started also on the side mapping out coords for everything.. I also will be releasing a tool to allow ppl to edit the weather as well using the timecycle files tho the tool is not fully tested just yet and I will require a couple testers that I will personally pick to give it a run through to see if it will be a tool ppl will use. I will explain more about my other recent discoveries soon as I finish cranking out the boxing and betting mod patch which will take me a day or two more likely due to how complex this is.

The boys dorm is not one single file in world.img, more rather it is made up of several different .nif models for the actual rooms and doors. The actual world area thats playable which includes the dorm and so forth is actually a single file that can be edited but I am working out how to safely edit it without corrupting anything in the game since its a custom format.
