Map Converter Template -Make your Own Converter!-

[Spainion]

Understand that this is not a functional map converter, it is designed for people who need there maps converted and don't know where to start.

[Map Converter Template](http://www.7-nations.com/MapConverterSource.zip)

It is a pretty basic concept if you have any questions about the functionality post here and myself or anotehr developer will be able to help you.

AGAIN this is a basic template which you can use to convert any maps you have both sources too.

Hope this helps someone.

You rock spanion! Thanks again!

[Spainion]

Thanks, if you have trouble just drop a line, I had a hell of a time the first time I tried converting.

[awgord]

So this will convert my TE 1.0 maps to be used in EE 2.7?

And if so….  how do I get it to work?

Sorry, I'm a noob, I know it!

Thanks for the answers!

How to find a map title etc to convertent ….?

[DrNova]

Poorly worded, what are you trying to ask?

[Spainion]

This is a simple template, you find MapRec and TileRec in the old source you maps are in and you find the new, MapRec and TileRec then use the template to just plug shit in, its really not all that hard.

i get this error? help anyone?

[Orca239]

I'm getting an error too, though I might just be putting the wrong info into the template… =P  I'll post it here since someone else already revived this topic.


Any help would be much appreciated.

[Spainion]

I would recommend you are capable of debugging simple elements before you use this, but:

The first error means, you most likely didn't set up the mapRec and tileRec up correctly.

The second Error just means I forgot to leave a Const in there just add
Public Const MAX_MAP_NPCS = X
Make X the same as whatever it is in the source.
just find "MAX_MAP_NPCS" in the source you pasted it from and paste that line over.
