Anyone tried adding a larger bsp by using Analyze Map and Build? That seems like it might be a good idea. Great app, I just wonder what it means when I try to run the manifest.exe and it says the program is not formatted.

Another idea is to find add a sbsp and say the bsp raw is 90000 bytes from the bsp magic. Find the point in a hex editor 90000 bytes before the raw data(Which could be added after the metas to get rid of size limit) and set that as the magic, even though it might be a meta index or something. It wouldn't be proper and the map might have serenity problems, but you wouldn't have to fix raw pointers for a larger BSP.

Random ideas.

It's because you don't click manifest.exe. You click entity.exe. :/

Ok, I have converted the first Cairo BSP(not the armory ones that are in there) and the game freezes upon load.
I used the "move all spawns here" tool for player spawning.
What am I doing wrong? (Gemini btw)

the bsp youre injecting must be smaller than the one youre injecting it into.

It was, unless F isn't larger than 9.
Gemini is 1F8000
The Cairo BSP I used is 129000

cairo is spacestation, right? i had problems converting those, they would load outside the map and i could use xbox's trainer to look around in them but i couldnt spawn inside.

wow i just found out something interesting... clone 20 chunks on the netgame equipment of Gemini scnr tag and you can open it in insolence... why?

and it also works on Dune.. add 5 chunks and you can open it in insolence..

I think you might of just found out why those maps cant be opened insolence

Do you think now you could make SLC patches for Gemini and Dune Shade? That would be awsome.

Yeah now that we know how to open gemini and dune in insolence i can make a patch for them now

The Flying Dutchmen · Tue May 02, 2006 12:58 pm

wow i contributed to da community... just like penicilline...

a suggestion for future release.. make the chunk cloner so that you can clone chunks off another map reflexive...just like GG his tool, so that you can add MACH palette and stuff to maps that don't have it

Probably because the station is too tall. Because no matter its all one huge thing no matter where you are.

well that is by using the actual map

i hate to reign down on your parade but you could easily change the MC bipd to an elite, but yes it is a multiplayer screen. Im just sayin that him being an elite proves nothing

P.S. forgot to tell you i love the app, amazing job!

I have also been working on a bsp conversion myself of the bridge in newmombasa. I have it about half done, and it is system link compatible.

I still have a lot of work to do though all by myself...ugh

turk645 · Post by **turk645** » Tue May 02, 2006 3:17 pm

the program works fine and the bsp viewer works for me but it freezes my computer randomly when messing with the bsp. would this be cause by an out of date graphics card?

How do you do BSP conversions in this app? [/noob]

Weather on Gemini

^ looks like containment on steroids.I was working on this bsp and when i spawned it was all black but it didnt freeze. I think it was a bad spawn im going to try and move all the spawns.
