You can create some new 3d objects using 3D studio Max 5 with the export tool that exports the bones and stuff to a format the engine understands. Creating new maps is impossible, at least as the engine works now. What you can do is use an already existing map and add characters to it, objects like cars is still not possible, but it's being worked on by some very clever minds.
If you create a new map using an already existing one, it's just a matter of adding it to a file called RANDPATTERNS.INI in the WorldINI folder. It will then randomly turn up as a random encounter map. You can set up the characters and their actions in the new source code for that map.
The next version of the Blue Sun mod will prolly be released in a month or two, it all depends on how much new stuff I'll add. I'm just finished with a "Order weapon" script and that doesn't need much more testing. If I decide to add more missions, it'll take a lot more testing and it might postpone the release even more. And my Russian friends are still working on opening up new functions in the game, that might set it back further.
