Converting MTA: Map Editor code to San Andreas

[Guest]

Is there a way I could do this? Bear in mind I have little scripting or coding abilities.

Any help is much appreciated in converting Map Editor code into Vanilla Single player San Andreas.

Thanks,

Dren

I see forum activity but is no-one going to help?

Do you mean importing an MTA Race map into single player? I.e. so the objects exist?

There is a tool to do this: http://gtam.cjb.hu/Projects/Converter.zip

If you mean creating a Map Editor that is detached from MTA and part of the single player game, that's a long shot, and I doubt it's worth the effort

Thanks a lot! I am debt to you, sir.

Oh, and how do the .ipl files work? Where do I place them?

[darkdreamingdan]

I believe you add your ipls into "GTA San Andreas\data\maps"

You then have to modify the "GTA San Andreas\data\gta.dat" file, and add your IPL files to the .dat

Ok sounds good.

I can't convert the .map files:

Can someone explain to me in detail how that converter works?

Looks like you didnt select a proper file or something. I can't say off of the top of my head.

All i can suggest is that you use the real command line tools over at: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=15525
