Speaking of community maps, can we expect any of your maps such as ge_basement_ssl converted to Beta 3 anytime soon?
Eventually, but right now basement_ssl is going through a complete lighting overhaul, and I'm making it GES props and textures only with the exception of the pipes. There's also a 1/4 done stack slapped on top which I might have to remove for the release.
I'll make a topic in the custom WIP forum once it's close to being done.
