Amazing. Too bad this wasn't made when I did my conversion...

Next version should be one button to do everything.

Heh, I'm done h2 programming for a while, I don't think there'll be a V5, well, not from me anyway. But I might start work on something else...

"Set it's offset to the end of the file". I don't understand what that phrase means. Does that mean you set its' meta offset to that of the end of the bsp file or what?

"Next, find an unimportant tag, and set it's offset to the end of the file, and it's size to that of the BSP. You should also give it a name you'll remember, like "Magical_bsp_conversion_tag"

Could you please tell me how exactly to find the offset and the size of the bsp? Oh and suggest an unimportant tag please? Thank you

If you click your BSP tag, it should say "Offset: ??????" and "Meta Size:?????"

To the end of the map file, if your map is X bytes in size, set it to X

Offsets, sizes and magic values of the BSPs are in the scnr tag, under Structure BSP, look for it in insolence. And a good useless tag to use is any <fx> tag

Sorry, I'm slow at times. Do you mean the size of the map you are putting the BSP into (that's what I'm assuming), or the size of the BSP?

Can you convert BIG BSPs with this tutorial

=/ I keep getting errors when i finally inject the bsp with ADI. Somehow the string references are messed up. Could someone make a more detailed tutorial? This one works for the most part, it could just use some clarification.

With this stuff, Now any noob can do a Sp-Mp conversion.

This is how people get fat.

Shalted · Post by **Shalted** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:32 pm

Crap, I found a fairly large bug I didn't notice when I was testing(because the map I was using didn't have any RAW3 or 4) . So I uploaded a new version.

Juniorman030790 · Post by **Juniorman030790** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:41 pm

Could someone quickly post how to extract and inject the bsp using ADI.
Do I just do a recursive meta extract on the bsp or just an extract for the meta. Then change meta size and offset, then inject the bsp(when i extracted the meta i did not end up with a meta file i just got a .sbsp file

If anyone could elaborate I would be very very grateful.
