Sry, I am a total noob at bsp stuff, so I will be straight forward. How would you go about taking the first sbsp of the Outskirts level and make it into a multiplayer map? If so, how would I extract it? And yes, I have checked the tuts on this website and I still don't understand it...
Any help would be superbly appreciated, or a link to another post may be helpful to.

Defintely use Entity to do it with.

Yeah, I done that, and I am viewing the SBSP, I just dont know where to go from there, the rest of the tuts are out of date, because they were written before entity was released.

Wait. Can entity now do bsp convertions with bsp larger then the original?

no it can't

Not Sure. I have seen really large maps on smaller mp maps before so who knows, all Im really asking is how you do it with entity!

Okay, I have gotten my bsp from Outskirts (the first sbsp) into Gemini, and moved all the spawn points so that it would be inside the map. I signed it and FTP'd. Something happened though, when I tried to start it up, it said, Failed to Load Map, so I tried to put the bsp into Containment and do the same thing. It again said I failed to load it. Can some one help me out?

Well it could be a freezing spot, or you didn't resign. Also, it didn't work on containment because containment's bsp is too small.

can't do it entity cannot inject larger bsp's

I definety signed it, what do you mean "freezing spot," I am unfamiliar with this term.
If so, than how can someone get the mombasa bridge, it has more meta than this and I have used it before (the mombasa map).

I'll post u a tut here with pics,but i cant right now, i'll do it tomorrow. I'll send you a list a bsp conversions you can do and a tut to go with it. You can only do certain bsp conversiojns with certain singple player and multiplayer maps. Also, make sure to sighn it with CMR.

What is CMR, so you say it is not possible(':?')
Confused

CMR is a map resigner used by tdata modders, which is a bad thing. Just add halo 2 to your HDD and add maps to your mainmenu. Also yes if the bsp is bigger than the map your converting it will not work.

If it is only 4mb larger than the mombasa bridge, and the bridge has more meta than gemini, than how do they get it to work?

If the bsp is not possible, then can I just take a whole single player map and switch it with an mp map, and then duplicate the spawn points. I really need a map of Outskirts for movie-making purposes.

no..if one bsp is too big from the map then how can you expect the whole sp map to work?

Save Outskirts sbsp tag with nothing checked, then save Gemini's sbsp with nothing checked. If Outskrts.sbsp is larger than Gemini.sbsp, it's not going to work.

You can only to bsp conversion with these multiplayer maps:

---Gemini

---Waterworks

---Terminal (Triplicate)

You can only do bsp conversions with these single player bsps:

---old mombasa\earchcity_3b (mombasa bridge-from 03b_newmombasa.map)

---deltatowers\bsp_02_transition (sea level-from 05b_deltatowers.map)

---floodzone\sen_hq_bsp_5 (-from 06b_floodzone.map)

---highcharity\gravemind (-from 07a_highcharity.map)

---forerunnership_10 (-from 07b_forerunnership.map)

---forerunnership_9 (-from 07b_forerunnership.map)

---forerunnership_9_cinamatic (-from 07b_forerunnership.map)

---deltacontrolroom_bsp3 (control room-from 08b_deltacontrol.map)

I think that's it. I just have one question for you, can you make a bsp conversion so it drags all the mach (and possible scenary and stuff) from the SP map over to the MP map. I'm going to make a post about that.

Edit: Also, when saving a bsp, make sure you have parsed and recrusive checked, then click the butting then find your .info file:

How can you tell if the BSP is larger? I did the thing you told me ^^^^
For some reason it gave me the sbsp in megabytes, not sure why.
If did look at it correctly, Gemini is one mb larger than the outskirts map I want.

I don't know, but they should work, i'm not the one who made them up.

Edit: Just a thought, but maby you can up the maps size by adding a bunch a chunks to it then maby you would be able to do all sorts of bsp conversions.
