Restore original scen/bloc spawns in SP->MP

Post by SS-kojak »

I converted a map from single player, I want to know how to restore the bloc and scen spawns from SP. I've seen this done in countless conversions. Such as Gate,Conduit,HighTide and a bunch of others. How do you do it?

I Bet you copy over the reflexive in entity, then overwrite the one in your map, that may not work if you do not have all the scen tags in the map though

mmmmk, so I goto the clone chunk menu(in entity) and select copy reflexive. Then throw all the scen/bloc's in. Then I replace my scen/bloc reflexive with the one from SP and BAM! It's restored from single player?

It will probably do it. But make a back up before you do anything. These are the only problems I can think of:
1. If the BSP's coordinates are offset.
2. If the single player reflex has a different heading.
Then again I've never tried it, I'm only speaking theoretically so.... If that doesn't work, you'll have to manually place them like it was in single player.

Very eay to do this stuff.. You need to add chunks to the scen palletes and placement to match or the first bsp to SP's then find the last chunk # in the two reflexives thats used in there or cords then find its translated offset then select the block of Chunks X size of chunks (same sizes in sp and mp for this?) then copy and paste over the others and wala all the cords and stats are moved over... The sky thing thats a little wierd maybe a model problem..

I don't understand what that means, though, can someone translate it into simple terms or write an indepth tut(vid maybe?) with pics?[/url]
