.map files into Torque

by [mc].s3b · in Torque Game Engine · 12/02/2004 (10:00 pm) · 3 replies

I have exported a .map file from Truespace 6.6 with the Torque GE export option. Now how do I get this .map file into a newly created mission from the fps starter kit. I have tried putting it in the folders and loading it from the in-game editor, but it couldnt see the file.

Thanks.

    You have to run your .map file through the map2dif command line tool. This will create (as the name says) a .dif file. Place this file in your folder (somewhere under interiors) and go into the in-game editor. Now you can place it.

    Torque GE is part of GameSpace, or the GamePak for Truespace. However it exports to .dts not .map. There are a few third party map exports.

    Marco: Did you use one of those?

    I am new to Torque, but have had TrueSpace for a few years. I would like to use it for the graphics, but I have not found a .map exporter? A few reviews in the other forums at GG, didn't seem to keen on the exports on the Caligari site.
