Quake1 Bsp

[Gatts]

Hi guys,

I was wondering, how hard would it be to implement Quake1 BSP rendering?

I know many of you might think why does he want to do that?

I want create a universal BSP renderer using Irrlicht. Basically render Quake1, Quake2 and Quake3 BSPs as a learning experience.

Any help is greatly appreciated, i've been trying to understand the BSP format for a long time! But i don't know how similar the Q1 bsp is too Q3, so i can't basically model it around the current BSP routines in Irrlicht for Q3.

Thanks,
Gatts

well, the quake 1 sourcecode is open source (GPLed), so you could use that for starters.
