quake used bsp fiels it's map editor used .map you can convert thows .map to doom3 hl2 uses .bsp. hl2's map editor is probably going to use .rmf and it is not to likly that they will have to be converted to .map in order to be compiled in to hl2's bsp format.
bsp files are very hard to convert as they are very engine dependant I know i am nit picking but it is important to realize the difference. (probably wount be to hard to convert the hl2 rmf to .map but dont bet on moving any this that has already been compiled) ----- Original Message ----- From: "tei" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Doom3 SDK for Half-Life2. > > Doom3 still use .map files as SRC for maps that at not change very much, > and exist a number of Quake3 to Doom3 tools.
