Universal Map File Format | |||||||||||||||||
I'd like to see some sort of map file format that I could convert into Quake, RTCW, Halo, or whatever, with a minimal loss of data. Basic geometric shapes would be stored, and the compiler would convert the geometry into whatever primitives the target map file format supported. Generic texture concepts and sizes could be stored. What these would be translated to could either be stored in the map file, or in a separate generic translations file (like XML's XSLT) Entities could be handled in a similar manner.

Well, there is GML -- geography markup language. Check it out at XML Coverpages
I guess that works for open areas, but can it cope with internal building construction, caves, and/or other enclosed spaces?
