When will we be able to get some of the new tools . Would be nice to get to start working with them. Will you a able to import any source or ns1 maps that have been done in hammer to the new editor. Also looks like you are using .vmt files as in source for textures , so will any .vmt texture files work in the new editor. Well thanks for the news of the NS2 engine and tools. Please get us the tools asap if you can.

Thanks, PREVERT-MAXIMUS

It would be a be able to import the half-life 2 .vmf map files into the new editor since the valve hammer editor is already being used for so many other games. I wouldn't know about the .vmt's though.

Word is the new engine and it's tools are backwardly compatible with the file formats used in Source. So any materials, models or maps yo might have made already will still work. After all UWE don't want to re-do all their content creation either.

Thats a very good point.
