This is way epic, nice job dude!
However, i cant help but notice that because of these nice brand new textures, the 3D world map model looks, i daresay, a bit awful now. i did some research into the matter and it turns out there is one modelviewer for the world map, but nothing to edit it, sadly. I really want to do something like this now. anyone woth me on this? perhaps we can encourage someone with enough skill to make an extractor/reinserter for the world map models, since we know where they are, and what each map file has in it. im pretty sure, although i could be wrong, that those ".MAP" files are just archives with big .p files? i dont suppose they'd use a different model format just for that. perhaps there's also some script in there, but i dont think there'd be too much. at any rate, i'd love to edit the world map model, if it were possible.
