Before I tackle this kind of project, I need to know a few things about the JA2 engine. What I want to do is try to convert the standard JA2 grid to Fallout's grid. I really think this might be impossible to do because there is a lot of code that relies on the standard JA2 grid. BTW, I don't know JA2's map geometry.

Specifications for Fallout's map geometry, taken from the FOnline SDK:

Hexagonal = true;
HexWidth = 32;
HexHeight = 16;
HexLineHeight = 12;
TileOffsetX = -8;
TileOffsetY = 34;
RoofOffsetX = -8;
RoofOffsetY = -64;
RoofSkipSize = 2;
CameraAngle = 25.7f;

You won't be able to do hex tiles, but the rest, the sky is the limit. FC promised to come up with an asset import solution that will allow modders to import their own 3D assets so in theory everything is possible. But I expect all this advanced modding to come up pretty much to the end.

Probably soon we'll be able to change camera angle too (atm you can edit that in Unity, but it won't save cause it's hardcoded). Whatever they externalized (camera zoom) works fine.

People with real Unity experiece are already working on this so soon we might get modded tools, beside what FC makes, too.

I don't think hex system is good for JA2 because many things (like accuracy) are based on meters not tiles.
