No, never heard about it. I checked Arianne (discarded, it is java), NeL
(poor documentation, wiki is a nightmare, includes its own graphic
engine) and Worldforge. Worldforge is the closest thing to what I want,
excepting that uses python instead of lua, editor client requires a
quite good video card and under linux deps are conflicting (Emnber
requires Lua 5.1 but CEGUI still requires 5.0).
