Has its handy moments

I would like to ask - how difficult is it to reverse engineer the new mapping system in terms of edits and rips?

Next to impossible. While you can easily import OBJ files into any old modeling program the thing is. There is no asset decompiler since the compiler was written by LOD. So without the core files you cant really do anything. You have access to all textures, but not the model itself ^^;

I don't suppose we could trick someone of the team to try and make a map in Sketchup and use this .obj exporter for Sketchup, eh?

Again, anything that can create .obj is good. Pretty sure this includes 3DS Max, Maya, Blender, MS3D, etc

Also if sketchup doesn't allow you to export your mesh as an obj, you could always export it as something that Max can import, and then finally export it as an obj in Max.

Professional version does allow this, standard version does not. That's why I posted a plugin in a post above that, supposedly, adds an .obj exporter to the standard Sketchup version: http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2007/01/wavefront-obj-exporter.html
