Adding IDE's/IPL's

[Stacey]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new to moddig MTA.

Is there a way to add a whole IPL and IDE into MTA as a map file? I know the answer is going to be no because its a completely different system to SA, but who knows, maybe someone created a tool to do it.

Also (another dumb question) is it possible to compress my custom files into a .IMG and put it in my resource folder instead of having to add each file loosely? It can get messy when adding alot of files so being able to compress them into one file would be helpful

well i used scene2res converter to convert ipl files to map

That's possible but quite a long process.

1st convert the .ipl file into .map file.

Then use med to extract .dff, .txd and .col files from the ide files.

You might find some tutorials on it.
