map conversion
« on: June 13, 2006, 08:11:42 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 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
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.
