[OSM-dev] 3d Import into OpenArena working

[jamesmikedupont at googlemail.com]

I am open to all ideas. the code is checked in.
my  next step would be to look into the rendering engines from osm.
I would like to be able to walk around a town and be able to markup
and interact with the map
not fly. My theory is that people will remember map features from a 3d
perspective,
and that  if they walk around thier streets, they will say  : the
baker should be on that corner.
we can include geotaged pictures on the walls, etc.

it is not about weapons and we dont need weapons.... it is about a
mature and easy to use environment.

Also, these games dont have to be 17+. you can change them, they are
open source.
you can shoot paintballs instead.

Also, i think that it is very important to reach people, and that the
gamer community is huge,
they have unlimited energy and they will help make openstreetmap better.
