can anyone tell me what kind of file format is used for levels that combine outdoor and indoor scenes? a good example would be the "Halo" level in Halo, with it''s outdoor structures and terrain, or a couple levels from the new TimeSplitters game. thanks for the help!

I dont know what is used, but I imagine a BSP which used hints to subdivide the outdoor section would work well...

halo and ut2003 use octrees combined with bsp trees for indoor areas
