Convert BF1 map to BF2

vonfrank · Post by **vonfrank** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 4:01 pm

I know that i'm new around here and i've been asking alot of questions recently, but i just got Battlefront 2 for PC after having Battlefront 1 for years and I'm eager to get to work modding Battlefront 2

What do i have to do to convert a map from Battlefront 1 to Battlefront 2. I know that i will have to tranfer the assets to a BF2 mod tools project, but is there anything else i have to do?

Maybe this FAQ topic will help:

From the FAQ http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=3574

Also there is a mod that already has the BF1 maps converted to BFII, it's quite popular, unless of course you wanted more modification to those maps than that.

DOH but I am sending anyway

Thanks!

i hope it works

EDIT
well unfortunately im facing the same problem that many people on that thread were complaining about. The game loads but there are no CPs and therefore, I cant spawn

im guessing the CPs need to be added to the LUA and or placed in ZE

Did you set up your LUA scripts properly?

I've found if you do a manual clean ,it sometimes works the second time you munge.

I followed the instructions on doing a manual clean but i still have no Command Posts

You really should post your bfront2 log errors from your map with the BF2_modtools.exe that you should place inside Lucasarts/Star Wars Battlefront II/GameData. Just play your map from within this directory and it will generate a bfront2 error log.

vonfrank · Post by **vonfrank** » Mon Dec 21, 2009 2:49 pm

unfortunately i need to put in the disc to get a console report and since i have a downloaded version of the game, i have no disc..

im almost certain that it is a problem with the LUA, but i dont really know what.

you can find a version of the debuger that works without cd in the everything you need thread

ok i found the no cd debug version and it worked, thanks

Looks like your lua is messed up. Post it please

He already did.

Post by **AQT** » Wed Dec 23, 2009 3:20 am

Error points at this line:

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:GEA\\geoa.lvl", "geoa_conquest")

Did you rename anything in the world1/2 folder? You shouldn't have if you did. Is your Conquest layer set up properly? If the map you are trying to convert is Geonosis: Spire then that line should look something like this:

Code: Select all

ReadDataFile("dc:[insert-modID]\\geo1.lvl", "geo1_conquest")

vonfrank · Post by **vonfrank** » Wed Dec 23, 2009 11:32 pm

it's not Goeonosis Sipre, It's My Geonosis: Arena map fro Battlefront 1 that is up on filefront, i'm trying to make it for BF2 as well.

the world file is called geoa.wld so according to the tutorial,
ReadDataFile("dc:GEA\\geoa.lvl", "geoa_conquest")
is correct, i think

Post by **AQT** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 12:19 am

Is your WLD name also the same as your REQ name? Do you have any animated props in your map?

vonfrank · Post by **vonfrank** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:41 pm

yeah, everything is called geoa

Post by **AQT** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 6:11 pm

It's very possible that your Conquest layer was not set up properly. Can you post the REQ file in your world1 folder?
