Convert a Q1 to a Q3 map ?

(burzum) #1

Is this possible with q3map2 ?
If yes - how ?

Thank you !

GtkRadiant can load Quake 1 map files, and then save them out as Q3 maps.

Yes, i know this but its a bsp file.

Trying this
q3map2.exe -convert -format map d:\q1maps\dm1.bsp

returned the error
d:\q1maps\dm1.bsp is not a IBSP file

:frowning:

There’s no way to convert a .BSP file to a .MAP file automagically with any degree of success.

At best, you might be able to find a utility to make a very crappy conversion, that you can load into GtkRadiant and manually rebuild the entire level from scratch again after loading the chopped-up, useless brushwork whatever .bsp->.map converter gives you.
