Recently steelixb released his custom UI with campaign and I was just wondering, where are the maps for this campaign? Are there maps for all of us lazy people who don't want to convert the old one?

Haha actually, that's not lazy. It's 500x quicker to convert them map rather than download it. Open HEK+, open map, select all the folders (highlight), rightclick, extract, and make it recursive (or overwright if you downloaded TheGhost's TagSet), viola!

*sigh*
That's not the right command.
Just use the HEKPlus. Update it; SteelixB make a plugin for it called ToolEX, that makes using Tool super easy.

You guys are Structuring the BSP, use the Build Cache File option. Structuring is converting the JMS to bsp and scenerio, while Build Cache is to convert the scenerio to .map.

cache=map for those of you who don't know.

just DL the map verison converter and put all the SP maps in MP then activate Dev mode and type in: map_name a10
Just like that.

No all the converter does is changes the hex values so HMT can recognize CE maps it doesn't restructure the map for CE compatability

Just like that.
Never will work because CE handles tags differently than PC.
