I just saw an article on the BBC web page about some group making 3d
images of the catacombs of Italy.  I thought, won't it be cool to
import those images into a shooter, and play a virtual deathmatch in
real tunnels!

It might be funner as a single player game.  Zombies, of course.

I like that.  I'll play.  in fact, I'll uz and host the maps for anyone who
wants to run that sort of server.

We have our own sort of catacombs around here but without the crumbling
marble and dead bodies.  They discovered gold here in the early 1800s and
made a town. The Chinese dug hundreds and hundreds of miles of tunnels.  The
uppor class houses in the mansion districts enjoued dozens fo discreet
escape routes from their homes in case of riot or fire or whatever makes
people want to escape such places. The chinese dug thousands of
tunnelsinterconnecting some of the homes and giving escape routes to all of
the rich folks.  I have personally crawled, dug, snd wormed my way through
125 miles of the most dangerous stuff we have,  I'd love to see some real
terrain like that get ported to ut.

Sounds really cool I enjoy that program on the History Channel
'CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD' spoiled only by that
americanism of repeating facts every few minutes you got any photos
of the tunnels? btw whereabouts is neighbourhood

BTW: My hometown is completely realised in 3D on Google Earth. But 
walking the streets with Googles user interfaces sucks. Does anyone
know, if GE data can be ported to UT (any version)?

If the co-ordinate system is static, then you could grid it out. Importing 
stuff like "There is a wall/building/streetlamp here" isn't going to happen 
though. At best you would end up with a nice template to map from.
