Hello together!
Finally, after few weeks of hard work, I finished a program to convert Renegade maps back to LevelEdit level files.
Please report warnings, unusual errors and bugs to yrr<at>icefinch.net.
Download: http://www.icefinch.net/files/LevelRedit.zip
Usage:- Add one or more Renegade .mix maps.
- Set the output folder (you'd use your LevelEdit folder).
- Click on 'Convert Now!'.
- After converting, open LevelEdit and choose the mod package which has the same name as the map you just converted.
- Open the .lvl file for the map you converted.
After conversion, to complete the map:- Remove pathfind generators you don't need. The converter automatically creates pathfind generators in front of each carmaker, which could be too much.
- Remove duplicate tiles. The converter may add tiles which were already imported with the terrain and therefor may be duplicates.
- Add pathfind blockers as you need them.
- Save the map.
- In the menu, choose 'Pathfind' > 'Generate sectors...'. This may take much time.
- Save the map.
- In the menu, choose 'Lightning' > 'Compute Vertex Solve', check 'Check Occlusion' and hit OK. This may take much time.
- Save the map.
- You should add and apply VIS points to improve the map's performance. Skip this if you only want to test the map.
Restrictions:- As mentioned above, LevelRedit may produce duplicate tiles.
- No editor only objects will be generated, you have to add them by yourself.
- No VIS points will be generated, you have to add them by yourself.
Protection:- If you don't want your map to be converted back to a LevelEdit level file, place a light anywhere on your map and set it's ambient light color to RGB(51,102,153).
- You cannot protect old maps you already released.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
