Lets hope it does work so you can just cap your D3 and not have to worry about needing a really low resolution so your enemies are more than 2px x 3px

The way I've done it was to open the level that you want in D3edit, join all rooms together, and the save off as a .orf, open it in the OOF editor, and save as .oof. Then get the 3DSgen from www.planetdescent.com which should convert it to .3ds. But for the terrain, you will probably need to tell it...

Unfortunately, as nice as all that is, if you do that, allow locking, then those players will get killed simply because they won't be able to turn around fast enough. Despite how high your sensitivity is, you can only rotate at a certain rate, no two ways about it. So now you'll have players that wi...
