Chateau, Castle and Keep. Any chance for a conversion to ET?

(Ifurita) #21

Also, i know that Ifurita would loved to port over “Keep”. If permission was given.
He said he would do it in a heart beat.

Excuse me??!!

I remember saying you would like to do it. At the time a bunch of us in irc. Were talking about conversions of maps to ET.
Too bad i didn’t have my logs turned on.

lol…! Well certainly if you guys want to convert that map then by all means go ahead. You don’t have to decompile though becasue the source map is included in the Zip file (it was a ‘sample’ map btw which is it sucked ass gameplay wise, but that’s why the assets are in there.!) If you go ahead with it you can catch me on MSN if you have any probs.

Kat, I think you’ll find there going on about mp_keep, that was part of the goty add on.

(Ifurita) #25

Aye

im 80% done with a conversion of escape2 from RTCW SP. I won’t release it though. Just thought id do it for my own mapping enjoyment.

Just got to add some objectives…

Ok, trying to get consent for re-doing maps is quite a pain! I FINALLY got a reply back from Activision! :clap: They told me I would have to contact Gray Matter Studios in regards to getting the consent to re-doing these maps for ET. Now, not sure if this is the proper forum to ask this, but does anyone know the email address for the guys at Gray Matter Studios? The only thing listed on their website is a phone number, fax number and snail mail address. I can’t believe in this day and age they dont have an actual email address.

I’m attempting to do things the right way. If I can pull off getting the .map source for these maps, any chance I could get one of you guru’s to convert them?

(Ifurita) #29

Who is “they”? If you contacted their help desk, they don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground.

(]ES[ Mr Feelgood) #30

“They” is customer support at Activision. This is the exact response I got…

Hi,

This is technical support, we do not have the answer to your question. You would need to contact the developer of RtCW which is Grey Matter.

My comment still stands.

i would really love to see the dam map converted, that map rocked! and if permission were ever given
i have some paypal funds available for anyone who can do a good conversion of the map! i would like
to see other peeps offer up some money, converting a map is hard, long work and the mapper should
be compensated for his time. if anyone else is interested in paying, post it and maybe the cash would
be a good incentive to get going on one???

Hi, it seems like today the most of the original maps are now converted, except of these:

Destruction
Castle
Keep
Chateau
KungFuGrip

So can anybody state exactly WHATS THE PROBLEM WITH THEM???
How long should the players wait for these? If not now then never! Its really the hightime do convert this little rest! And they will be played, I bet for it!!

If you want the official agreement with Hummer or the makers of Castle, etc. (was it Gray Matter or smb else?), then I will try to get it. As for the Destruction map, there were already lots of ideas here on how to make the CTF style dual objectivers. Come on, isn’t there anybody worth of these maps here?? Or just scared of hard work? :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

Please comment!

kungFuGrip has been converted although it doesn’t look at pretty in ET

(Ashog) #35

Of course, i know, but this doesn’t really count as “Converted”, does it? :wink:

So whazzup, men?

(carnage) #36

???
how do you mean it doesn’t count? its bcasicaly and exact copy of the brushwork with poorer job on the texture and that is pretty much what all the other conversions are like as well

(Ashog) #37

It doesnt count because:

  1. it was done w/o any permission from the author
  2. it was unplayable
  3. it was made by an amateur who didn’t have any moral right to convert such a masterpiece

any further quastions? :wink:

So what’s next? Any real good candidates here? Or is everybody suddenly scared of “much hard work” on it? :stuck_out_tongue:
