3rd party libraries and tools

Hi! I was wondering how UWE and the NS2 community feel about 3rd party tools and/or libraries. And people reverse engineering some of the game files to understand how it all comes together :)

I for myself started parsing the level format Spark uses, not sure where this is going but it sure is an interesting task :)
(What I've gotten so far: <a href="http://pastebin.com/1rtYryXc" target="_blank">http://pastebin.com/1rtYryXc</a> (yes, long and verbose log output))

So, your thoughts about tools/libs? Already working on something?

    Interesting yes, but I actually want to write .level files instead of just reading entity information :)

    Todays milestone: Get a NS1 map converted (sort of), so far: point data: (yes, x axis is flipped, easy fix)

    Making edges and faces/triangles is just a small step ahead, but I need sleep now :)

    The Ns2 editor can directly import Half-Life maps.

    Bsp's are not supported and during a Hl2 *.vmf import it crashed! (which I wouldn't want to import anyway)

    It worked for me after some retries.
