Trying to get MapConv

[zenith24]

This site is just great (no pun intended). After reading the necessary stuff I needed for mod & map making I wanted to eat the pudding. But somehow I can't find MapConv.exe on the Internet. http://www.fileuniverse.net seems to be gone......and I tried building it from the source, but after several hours of painstaking arguments with my Cygwin installation I gave up. Any ideas of where I can find a good MapConv.exe ? Please, me and my friends really want to use the Spring engine.

http://www.fileuniverse.net seems to be gone

It's actually spelt www.fileuniverse.com and while it was taken by a fire yesterday, there is a mirror at http://fu.luckz.de which however doesn't mirror Spring files but anyway, FileUniverse Spring section is so outdated you should follow previous posters links instead.

Also, why Cygwin? I run my mapconv from plain Windows2000, passing the arguments either with a Microsoft Windows shortcut or a dos-reminding .bat file.

Please, me and my friends really want to use the Spring engine.

And, uh, you know you are your friends do not have to compile your own maps to enjoy Spring?
