fgwelder Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Hello! Sadly I can't login to my old account.. not sure why, so had to re-register. Anyway, I have created my race to dm converter script so that you can convert all of your old race maps to use with the new DM race script. The README is included.. Please READ it, there are very important instructions in there. I hope you enjoy this tool, and find it useful! Here is the download link:(Feel free to mirror it) http://fearedgamers.net/download/FGMTAMapConverter.zip *sticky?* -]alw[-Welder.xf FearedGamers.net Edited January 5, 2008 by Guest Link to comment

fgwelder Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Alright, let me know how it works Link to comment
CriticalXED Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Great job. It works like this: you must put the race map to convert folder, and then run the exe file. After that u must copy resources & resourcescache to C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch. Link to comment

eAi Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I haven't looked at the tool, but I've no idea why you're creating a resourcecache? Resourcecache is a temporary folder used for extracting files from zip-based resources. Plus I'd point out that race has a built in converter... Link to comment

Ratt Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 We already have a mirc script for converting race to dm aswell don't we? Link to comment
ramrod Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 99% of people dont use mirc, like me Link to comment
arc_ Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You don't need to "convert" maps to work with the new race script, it supports MTA:Race maps out of the box (except for the "wave" spawntype for now). All you need to do is create a folder in the server "resources" folder, put the MTA:Race map in it, and add a meta.xml. You can look at existing race-*.zip files (for example race-jumpmania) in the resources folder for examples of what goes in that meta.xml. The race script indeed has a built in converter: it converts the map to a new syntax, namely the syntax that will be used by the upcoming map editor. If you just want to play exisiting maps you don't need to do this conversion however. Link to comment
fgwelder Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well, yes this really isn't a converter in the sense that it doesn't alter the .map folder. It's purpose is for server owners like me with 100's(or 1000's) of maps... that want to batch create the meta files/directories. I also was not aware that the cache was not needed. Oh well Anyway.. thanks for the thanks from the people who needed this for its original purpose Link to comment
nirhopscotch Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well if there is a built in converter it's not working for me. Even the races that came stock with Developer Previews don't seem to work. I saw one server that had a few races on it so I'd like to know what they did to get the races to work? Also don''t forget that there were Cops and Robbers maps that didn;t have checkpoints so I'm not sure if that's gonna be an issue. Link to comment
