Converting maps into ONS

}TCP{Snowbird · Post by **}TCP{Snowbird** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 4:29 pm

This may be an old subject, but it sounds interesting to post. Maybe someone out there has an idea for a good ONS map converted from another map or game. I did Sinfonia and the only thing that was different about it from the original, is that I had to make it bigger (Thanks to Kobra's/Furbious back then, idea that it was too small).

If anyone has something that they would like done, I will help get it there.

wtf is furbious lol
i was called 100 of names by now, but furbious ist definatly a weird one :O

the idea to convert a CO-OP map for ONS wont work, the maps are not 'vehicle friendly'.
but the they would be good for the ASSAULT mode i think :p

I have never looked at a co-op game/map, so I am not sure why they are not veh. firendly. But if there is a way to do it, I could find it.

OK FURIUOS

SHIT

MY MISTAKE

and if you could make it vehicle friendly, it would only be fun for ppl who played U1 CO-OP before.

Well i think there are a few levels in CoOp that would be suited

Dunno the names but i can look em up i think

They are both outside and the first one i had in mind had the spaceship u crashed in in it .. some hills and so on .. that one could be made for ONS i think

And there was another one with some sort of castle in some hills/mountains with little houses in there as well ..

But dunno the names .. if u peeps don't have a clue either i can look em up

I think with the space ship, it is either the opening scene, or one that was never in the original game, but in the map section. The other one is Na Pali. I know what you mean. YES!!!

i just took a look at the coop maps and they dont look worth to me for a conversation.
but i found a DM map that would make a nice indoor ONS map :p

today morning i thought i made a big thing about converting...
i remembered the T3D. file which is the same file type for importing maps in all unreal games it seems.
well, i deleted all guns/ammo/shield/medic ect of the map ColdRuins and exported the map as a t3d. file.
now i saw that its possible to import t3d. files in Ued of 2k4...
i did so, and it worked... you can import the maps from U1 to 2k4.
that was the good news, now the bad news!
the map is totally messed up after you rebuild it!
i know this is surely known already by many mappers, maybe i do something wrong?
after i saw FlowerPowers conversion of Krulls map DM-ExoticaV2 i was wondering how he redone the map 1:1 !!

i mean, if you open both maps in each editor and compare the old version with the new version, its EXACTLY the same dimensions!
so thats my last hope that it could be possible to convert the map like that, it would make it a lot easier than redone the whole map one by one...

i searched in the inet about that and all i found is that there some ways to convert a map with an tool or import/export, but they also say the best way to convert a map is to REBUILD it.
i tried to contact flowerpower aswell, but no response...

now i wrote loads of crap and ill stop now too ^^

your furbious :p

No panic, man. I know there is a converter out there. I never WANTED to use it, because the fun of it, is in building it a second time. My Sinfonia was made from ground up. This is one of the ways that you learn to build. I am willing to do all maps, I enjoy it and it would be a pleasure for me to do it, but it seems that there is noone out there that really wants to see the "old" stuff. LOL

i would have no problem with that, but some geometries are just so complex...
i have no idea how to redo that :S
with other words: im too noobish!

i dont want even to try couse it is like work (=no fun)

I wouldn't mind seeing some back in action

for example

dm-twilight
dm-loxi
dm-groovemachine
dm-observatory(there is a remake but they made it way too big and it totaly lost the feel of the map)

i could go on

HEHE... I look at it as a challange. When you do not know something, and then figure it out... It is an acoplishment.

If you need help, man, ask for it, I am ALWAYS there. And I am looking forward to helping/assisting you on any map you want.
