I haven't heard of any such project, and http://reconstruction.voyd.net doesn't list it either.

First step would probably be decoding the various file formats used in U6. There are several sites which have info on them:

I downloaded the informations at those sites long ago to overlook them but I havn't had time to work on any decoder or related program(s) yet.

There's another site with some info and a map editor program in progress.

Doug the Eagle has done something similar a while ago - check out http://www.it-he.org/u6_tools.htm . If all these people would consider pooling their considerable talents, we might end up with something analogue to exult :)

Oh, I guess I should not omit to mention Xenerkes' fantastic Ultimatrix in this context. :)
