Ok so I am following shade45's tutorial on bsp conversion. I am at step 3 which is this.....

Step3: Fixing The Bsp Magic
-Seeing as how we are going to have a new bsp in our map we need to fix the bsp magic and size, to get the bsp magic and size we open the shared.map and go to scnr->Structure BSPS then copy down the structure bsp size and primary offset and replace them with the values of the bsp size and magic in the map we are converting the bsp to(coagulation)
*shared.map cant be opened in insolence but you should be able to get the values from dark matter

I am stuck here because I dont know how to replace the values he is talking about. Also I am not even sure I have the right ones. For a clean shared.map I got Offset= 8C22600 and for the size I got 4096. Can someone please help me do this step as this is my first BSP conversion?

lol. use entity.

Thats the easy way. Do it the proper way...

Ok but how do I replace the offset and size and what do I use to do it?

Insolence, or Entity. In the Meta Editor.

Ok great but that still doesn't explain HOW to do it. I mean replacing the size and offset?? I dont understand it at all. Like I said I am stuck on step 3 in shade45's tutorial.

Just use Entity..and it is proper..

but if you want to be frustrating, go to the scnr tag and press the Structure BSPS reflexive and the values are right there on the right side.

Ok so I used Entity to do a simple SP to MP. I did oldmambasa tunnle into gemini. However I moved only the player spawns and weapons, and when i tried to load the map it froze????? Do I have to move EVERYTHING? As in like scenery?

Not sure what you mean by the tunnel but Entity can only do some BSP's. The BSP has to be smaller than the map or it won't work. So make sure you size will fit into the MP BSP.

The 03a_oldmambasa tunnel and it is definitely smaller than gemini. But my question was do I have to move EVERY single spawn? Cuz b4 I only moved player spawns and weapons.
