Someone never used DOS as a child...
Use the "cd" command to go to the folder where mapconv is located. For example, if you have it in C:\Games\Spring\maptools\, type:
cd c:\games\spring\maptools\
Then do whatever you do for compiling maps. If there are spaces in any of the folder names in the path, such as C:\Program Files\Spring\maptools\, you have two methods of going about this:
cd "c:\program files\spring\maptools\"
or
cd c:\progra~1\spring\maptools\
Alternatively, go pick up a 486 for $10 at some flea market and install DOS 6.22

Can I just clear something up for those of us,, me included who were or still are confused as to the image rotation/flipping thing
As long as you use -i you don`t have to flip rotate or mirror anything..
just work with the map images height, metal and terrain in the same orientation as your terrain,, example below.
FYI I use .bmp`s

OK doom lets check a few things.
1. Post a copy of the .bat you last described.
2. Mapconv came packed with several files:
geoevent.bmp
nvdxt.exe
texconv.exe
and of course mapconv.exe
Did you unzip all of these files and are they all in the same directory?
3. Are all or your map textures in the same directory, are the aforementioned mapconv files in the same directory as your textures, and is the .bat also in this directory?

Are you kidding me?? you would actually build ten mexxas on the ground to get a total of 2.0 for ya effort.Gnome wrote:Mufdvr, come on, that metal map isn't right and you know it! All the Cavedog lava maps produced 0.2 metal everywhere on the map, normal amounts on the actual metal extractors. It's a detail that can't be overlooked!
Tell ya what, I am probably going to update the map soon so I will reduce the global metal in the .smd as well, the reason for the update is a problem with the heightmap I missed.
EDIT: Humble pie time for Muff,, Gnome you are quite correct, Lava and two hills has a surface metal of 20, or 0.2 at the mexx.
I will fix this as I want this map ported propperly, Whilst the ported classics should be as close to the ota as possible, I think unless you have ported a TA map you have no idea just how much work is involved, take it easy,, no nead to pound on people who are making a real effort to do these maps justice, If I had realised this error earlier I would have never uploaded it intil it was right..
