Hi everybody. I want to convert my CS map to Nexuiz. Actually I have converted one. I can keep the map geometry and some compatible entities and textures, but the texture spcification(scale,offset,rotation) have not keep.

Open GtkRadiant create a simple bursh, And open the .map file with text edior. I find some things like this

Code: Select all

// entity 0
{
"classname" "worldspawn"
// brush 0
{
( 128 128 128 ) ( 128 0 128 ) ( 0 128 128 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0
( 128 128 128 ) ( 0 128 128 ) ( 128 128 0 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0
( 128 128 128 ) ( 128 128 0 ) ( 128 0 128 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0
( 0 0 0 ) ( 128 0 0 ) ( 0 128 0 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0
( 0 0 0 ) ( 0 0 128 ) ( 128 0 0 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0
( 0 0 0 ) ( 0 128 0 ) ( 0 0 128 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0
}
}

there are 8 numbers behind texture name

Code: Select all

( 128 128 128 ) ( 128 0 128 ) ( 0 128 128 ) e7/e7brickfloor01 0 0 0 0.5 0.5 0 0 0

and I have read this document Quake MAP Specs, but that document describe only 5 numbers

Code: Select all

( 128 0 0 ) ( 128 1 0 ) ( 128 0 1 ) GROUND1_6 0 0 0 1.0 1.0

they are x_off,y_off, rot_angle,x_scale,y_scale,and Nexuiz map file have 3 more numbers.

And in GtkRadiant I can't find texture detail setting dialog. I can't find some wiki pages about Nexuiz .map spcification.

What does these numbers mean?

Huh? There's actually a way to convert maps from Hammer to Radiant?

HL1 BSP is very similar to Q1 BSP, iirc, so it's plausible.

Nexuiz can run your HL BSP files fine. So there is no NEED to convert them to Q3 BSP.
But you need to include all the wad files that it use And that can be dangeroues since they are most likley copyrighted by Valve.

So yeah, it might be smart to convert them to Q3 format and re-texture it with free textures.

Yeah,Simply copy .bsp and .wad files. Nexuiz can run the cs map. I really glad I do need to do extra work. But some entities are not compatible .

Just for myself study. Thanks.

So, where exactly am I supposed to insert the .bsp- and .wad-files?
