I've dug into the Chaos Engine level format too before, but ended up getting stumped on a lot of the data. A shame, because aside from that I had everything in place for a remake. It really is far more complicated than I had ever imagined...
I've attached most of the stuff I found out (along with a bunch of some map's data tables dumped). I have a program that can view and explore pretty much all the maps, and display the things described in the tables, as far as I've figured them out. The only thing not described in it are the music transitions, but they're pretty simple stuff.
