I know that similar questions have been asked several times on these forums, but they never seem to get a decent reply. I''ve written an Octree Engine that I''m quite pleased with. At the moment, I''m loading the Quake 3 maps using the BSP convert tool from here. Now I want to write my own level editor so I can adjust it specifically for what I want. I''m gonna use MFC and OpenGL. Now here are the questions: 1. I need to know how to structure the editor. 2. How do I store the objects? Do I store an array of Objects made up of polygons or just an array of polygons? 3. How do I create an array of polygons thats constantly changing in size, can I just use new and delete? 4. Does anyone know any decent tutorials on writing game tools? 5. How should I cull the world? 6. How should I keep control of all of the entities? Linked Lists? Err...thats it.

Well that takes care or the actual OpenGL/MFC part, any ideas on the rest.
