Convert BF1 map to BF2

Posted: 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 :D

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?

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! :D

i hope it works :yes:

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.

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.

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")

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 :?

Re: Convert BF1 map to BF2

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

Re: Convert BF1 map to BF2

Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2009 1:41 pm
by vonfrank
yeah, everything is called geoa

Re: Convert BF1 map to BF2

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