Ofc. it has advantages: I can use original maps 1:1 with original folder structure, with real holes support and full control over shader. Terrainlight is stored as vertex color. And it's faster than unity terrain (I can render only visible chunks).
Effect is acceptable (this screen has bug - all objects are moved by (0.5, 0.5):

You can find SMD importer for blender and use batch file to automatically convert it to FBX (another plugin). The hardest thing to do, is to calculate matrix which converts opengl coordinate system to directx (used by unity) with switching YZ axis. I'll post if if I find it somewhere in my PC. But I don't recommend this approach. In my opinion it's easier to load BMD into unity.
How's your project Supron? Your project website was not updated for a long time. Lack of time to continue? I had the highest hopes in your project because your idea about how the remade client should look like was similar to mine. Would be a shame for the project to die :<

After I left IGCN as full time developer, I stopped updating blog on their site. After this I've really pushed things forward. But I'm not sure if I can write here about it. Even when I left IGCN my thread got deleted for not being a public development (I didn't want to make it open source). If you want to hear more, send PM.

We all did the same thing with the map, but may be a few problems...
Have you made anything about the water effect on the map?
About the bmd conversion, you can do like us and write a piece of code to convert it.
Piece of cake...

simple shader that distorts the texture over time solves the water thing tho.
I'm curious about the lighting
