Let's assume nobody is going to add to this again. Does anybody feel like turning it into a playable level? It's big enough. Anybody who loves making levels but doesn't have the time? It's all here. It would be a shame to let all this work go to waste.

Seems like the DarkXL editor would be a good way to bring interest back to the Open Project. Would be a good test ground for new mapping features that DarkXL will be able to handle.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can re-start this after the editor build comes out.

How far along is it? What needs doing?

It's just kinda what it is, there's really no telling just how much more needs to be done. I know there was a couple of areas I was building that I would like to have had finished.

There are a few unfinished areas alright, but in terms of size there doesn't really need to be anything done. All it requires is a plot and some objects, and maybe a bit of a tidy-up.

Yeah, the OP map is already quite sizable; easily larger than most levels. While it's true that there's a lot of places that seem "dead ends," that's really how levels work; it's been shown that generally it's a BAD idea to let you go everywhere.

I'm pretty sure there's a newer one.

I'm PRETTY SURE there is, but I'd have to go back through my records to see which one it was... As I recall, it was finding out which one was newer than that is what halted things before.
The computer that has all my OP/DF stuff is in storage, (again) after yet another year of moving. However, with some luck, I'll have it at home in a week or so, and I'll check that. I'm slightly apprehensive of the notion that I might find out that the latest version is, in fact, the one on my hard drive.

I have a fairly current one too. Can't tell when the file was modified though since I'm on my OSX partition at the moment. I plan on getting some work on my projects done over the weekend so I can check then.
