Title: map conversion
Post by: shofixti on June 13, 2006, 10:11:42 AM

ok, i can ALMOST guarntee that nobody here knows the awnser, but i'll ask anyway, just to be annoying.

i have about 10 O.K. maps here, made for PB3D in a program called 3D gamestudio www.3dgamestudio.com (http://www.3dgamestudio.com) if PB3D burns out into nothing, i would like to donate these maps to DP2.

ok so here's the problem, i can build to the following formats:
.wmb .$$M and .map
so how do i take those, convert them into something a BSP editor can use, and add player/weapon/flag spawn zones, and anything else i may need.

any ideas?

The .map should be all you need.

You must use http://dt.houstonareacomputers.com/bsp_pb2_build015.zip (http://dt.houstonareacomputers.com/bsp_pb2_build015.zip)
But I think you will need a map to map converter.
If you want send me your map in pm and I can help you

First off, grab http://dpball.com/files/mapmaking/bsp_pb2_build015b.zip instead.  Second, what's on line 46?  You might be using an incompatible .map format.

ok, so i found that the .map i was saving to is a quake2.map format, so i should have no problems with that.

i tried the other link jitspoe sent me, and at least i got a diffrent error, just the "normal" windows has encounterd a problem "send and dont send" error.

so, did i do something wrong?

That's one downside to BSP.  Like just about every other editor at the time, it's extremely unstable.

ok, i managed to open up my file in worldcraft, but the software i used to create it uses .WAD files not .WAL, how do i create a .wal texture pack?

grrr, that didint seem to help either, all my textures are just grey in the view, even after i added all the textures used with that map.
ohhh well, i just need to paint 2000+ faces, no big deal.
