Fallout 3: Van Buren: 2 Open Source Clones Compared
Van Buren Project and VBEditor serve different purposes rather than being interchangeable options: Van Buren Project is listed as unplayable, while VBEditor isn't a playable recreation of the game at all — it's a heavily work-in-progress tool for editing the proprietary .MAP and .CRT file formats used by the canceled Van Buren build, with only partial format support so far.
