Remaking RTCW maps for ET


(Beardbarain) #1

I was playing RTCW the other day, and i was wondering how hard it would be to convert the beach (for instance) over to ET…

I know the base has been made for ET, however there were other great maps from rtcw that might be nice to play in ET as well such as depot, village, beach*, etc.

If anyone is up for the task… i think it would defenitely go over well, as well as i would be more than happy to add these classic maps to my own servers

Village, Beach, Trainyard, mp_tram, TC Base and Das_Boot are already made!
You could find them on etmaps, what maps do you still want maybe??

ET beach has very poor lighting compared to RTCW version :nag:


(kamikazee) #4

True, it allmost seems the walls are lit by ambient or minlight, but the entities are not.

there has been a far better conversion of beach. i cant remember the name but a lot has been changed to make the gameflow suitabel for ET and a nice graphical upgrade too so i surgest try and find that

That’s my only real complaint about et_beach. Especially on the beach area itself. It totally kills the atmosphere on that part of the map imo. But I still play it. :]

Played the ET version of Market Garden tonight. It looks very fatihful tbh! Had to quit early though, didn’t see it all! :stuck_out_tongue:

i was unaware that so many of the RTCW maps had been remade… nor had i been to etmaps.de… i typically go to rtcwfiles.com

Thanks for the info however…

Has the depot been remade at all?


(kamikazee) #10

I haven’t seen a decent conversion of depot, only the newer train depot. (which isnt that great, imo)
It could have been converted of course.

Fidel converted it and it is also available at new-etmaps.de.

Look under et_depot.pk3


(kamikazee) #12

As long it’s converted with enough love for the original map, or something creative has been done with it, it’ll be allright.

someone should host it … what about a “RTCW Theme Server” , anyone?..

and…while we’re at it…someone should make a RTCW ETmod, omg kthnx

…it would be sweet ^^

There is already a RTCW mod.
Called Lamapro.

We had an rtcw theme server. It just didn’t catch on.

I’m making mp_assault on ET
I didn’t found how to convert the .bsp in .map file
So I’m remaking all the map
With debsp it doesn’t work, But with RTCW spmap I can use debsp but the textures aren’t there.
I pick up the terrain brush on the assault RTCW spmap.
I just need all the information on tha assault’s terrain shader and image file
Thanks =)


(kamikazee) #17

It’s normal that the textures won’t be there in ET as ET doesn’t reuse the full textureset of RTCW.

Assault has allready been converted to ET, up to beta4 version.

Here’s the link if u want it ET_Assault_b4

As for servers, well the one i encountered lately was the [SAPO]WarZone server who has Assault in it’s rotation
But that version is different from the one found on Etmaps.de

The one used on SAPO is called mp_asssault_rc1 and can be downloaded from the server iteself
if ur interested check it out over here: 194.65.14.109:27981

Thanks
I already have this version
It’s not the same version
I want to make exactly the same dark version of this map.
So I know in ET there’s not the assault texture , how is called the terrain shader for the map mp_assault ???
I just want to know I could have the same rock terrain texture as the otiginal RTCW map
Can I have the same sky ?


(here) #20

can I have a detailed tutorial for making terrain ?
