Anyone who is interested in conversions, see here

Post by TsukasaZero »

I was scanning the GB forums this morning and I found some more information...like the new sp->mp conversions.

I read another topic on a new map in SP that would act as a training facility for n00bs to the game. After awhile, the poster (whistlingcool) said he had successfully put a MP BSP over a SP BSP.

He posted some spk edit screens. Whoa. He said he got an exception when he tried to play, and that things like actor varients were missing. Also, textures for the models were fucked up. He thought that if he reversed the process, we could get SP to MP cooking.

here is, after long wait, a start at what could be an open conversion method:
http://home.mchsi.com/~halofreak/tutorial.htm

It does generate exception, but it is the first released information about it. I myself am playing around with steps and different XML files...and this may have to do with the triggers not found in the scenerio file.

Here is the link to the new sp map thread:

"we". Whos we? Mono, you, viper, zex, zelda, and a few others?

Last I checked, 95% of people on IRC cant do it. I hate to sound bitchy, but its giving me the wrong impression of people in this scene. Thats also the reason Im leaving when UT2k4 comes out.

*sigh*

We STILL need to know how to get rid of the triggers if this is going to be possible for the average Joe, however. And that map probably needs a lot of things before it will work... Regular Equipment, AI, etc.

A nice tutorial has been written up on SP to MP conversions by an anonymous person (at least anonymous until the tutorial is released so he doesn't get slammed by people asking for it)

The tut will be released along with AotCR and the new version of HMT that has the neccessary tools. BUT

PLEASE PLEASE don't bother me about it. It shouldn't be more than a week but I make no promises! It will come out with AotCR - if people bother me asking about when it is gonna come out or if it's almost ready, then it'll just take time away from my work and will delay it longer

Thats what he said...so just wait a little bit

Hell with that...it would be no real accomplishment if a tutorial was made...I finally see why those who knew how were sworn to secrecy on the matter.

ya know I already made a topic about the HMT...
about the triggers, maybe manually delete them, like Tsukasa said, and messing with xml files?
