.map or .bsp into .ase help!!!

(UbH) #1

want to take my .map file i made for jedi knight and convert it too .ase so i can open it up in unreal 2003 editor and have it as a map for that game
so how do i use the bsp -convert thing so it will goto ASE??? please help if you can :???:

The map should be centered at 0, 0, 0.
The whole brushwork must be enclosed in a box made out of caulk.
You can’t have any entities inside (except worldspawn and func_groups).
Compile the map file with BSP -meta -patchmeta. (no vis, no light).
Compile the bsp file with BSP -convert.
It will output your ase file.

You can’t import and use materials from one game in one other (like textures,etc…)
Read the EULA.

:banghead: oh man I get an error when i do the run bsp
unknow option “-convert”

I am veary new to this prog so lets go over it

under the the Build Option tab select ??

under the BSP tab I assume you check custom and thats where you wanted me to check the convert thing and also the meta/patchmeta

under the VIS tab I assume you check None
under the LIGHT tab I assume you check None

then I assume that you go back under BSP and click run bsp and thats when i get my error; tell me I am doing something wrong; if not, can you help :???:

Read my first post carefully, you have to compile it twice.
First step, compile the map file with BSP -meta -patchmeta.
Second step, compile the bsp file with BSP -convert.

ok see what you are talkin about and after I compile the map to bsp and open the bsp and compile it with -convert I still get that error

unknow option “-convert”

btw just got back from wurzburg

Which Q3map2 version do you employ?
-convert is functional starting from version 2.3.30 and higher.

<—worst luck ever you where right I did have the wrong version but when I goto the site to get a 2.3 virsion all the zips contain exes that just crash, what too doo? :frowning:

BTW, if you’re converting an existing working map, then DO NOT put it inside a caulk box.

That is only for converting small pieces of geometry.

You can convert a working playable BSP into a working ASE file with the -convert command.

Does the texture info is keep?

Download the latest version (2.3.37), extract it. If you are compiling from a front end compiler, give it the new path.

Yes.

as for compileing in front end… dont know what you mean.

I went to the site and downloaded what i am shure is 2.3.37 and made it, its own folder and exstracted it their, see.

http://www.geocities.com/ubhicest/pagethree.html

but what I dont know is what to do with these files; I clicked on the Q2Map2.exe and all I get is this.

So i guess my question is what to do with them files to update the program; cause clicking on the exe dont work.

I know I am getting annoying but please help!

Q3map2 Toolz is the frontend compiler.
When this program is running, click on “Edit”, then “Set Paths”, then click on “Browse” (Path to q3map.exe), show it the right path, click “Ok”.
Choose your options and compile.
