Converting PC to Xbox

Before you jump on me, just listen real quick.

Well, as far as I've understood it, a major problem in porting PC maps to Xbox has been the fact that PC maps are split into 3 files (map.map bitmaps.map and sounds.map).

However, HEK created maps will not have this property. They will all be self-contained as a single map(or at least, thats what it appears to me).

How hard do you all think it will be to convert HEK created maps to Xbox?

I don't have a lot of experience with the differences, but I do know the bitmaps are in a different format and many things are stored differently, but is it at least feasible now?

Hopefully,

You won't be able to do it I think unless you know how to convert it into a language that Xbox can read.... and you will need the bitmaps, ui and map i believe onto your xbox and it will have to become part of the disk or a cache file, again I don't really know but that is what I think....

i dont thk u can do it. The only thing u can convert is bitmaps. Other that that, the meta-coding is so different that its not possible.
