ive read a post earlier on about how to convert bsp to .map, but it was very vague, and just mentioned that it says it can, but didnt explain how. I ahve a map which i would like to improve, but i lost the .map file.

how do you convert .bsp to .map?

I've been looking around the forums for that post, but it has evaded me...

o well, i can remember part of ot. someone asked if you can convert .map to .bsp, and Spi Waterwing replied something like

"yes, its all in the path.. something/somethingrather/something"

Anyone?

I can't remember where I put my q3map2 directory but it's a command line thing you can do with it. You extract the bsp to somewhere then you run a q3map2 decompile on it. You'll most likely get some imperfections and missing textures, possibly no lighting.

It's not that great an idea, I'd just remake the map if possible.

haha ok.. takes too long to re-do though.. it was a rather long level..
