Im guessing there is no possible way to open a .lsd file and edit it ?

Yes and no... I wish their was.. I lost so much of my lvl files. If you manage to get the lsd open you'll get the terrain and the other stuff but you'll have to re-setup everything such as purchase terminals, waypaths, etc. Also if I remember correctly it doesn't save right Huh

. You goto open it after saving it and it's all messed up like it didn't even save. If their is a w3d file your better off using that and making it.

I've started looking at the format, but ended up being too lazy to do any more investigation at some point.

Do you have any plans at all to pick it up again?

Same here.

Someone should record what LE is doing when it exports a map so it can be reverse-engineered. The .lvl file im guessing is split up into sections when exported, so some sort of importer could be the answer. Or maybe a program that converts the .mix or .pkg's levels to a w3d with proxies that represent where evrything is. Too bad that wouldn't work with scripts though.

The .lsd files are the motifed part of the w3d and .ldd are objects that where placed into that map

At least thats what i think

Colonel

I think that the .lsd (level static data [background settings, decorations, trees, etc.]) is used by both, client and server, while the .ldd (level dynamic data [spawners, terminals, vehicles, etc.]) is used by the server only, and the server tells the client which dynamic objects to create via network.
