Scenarios and campaigns (When broken down) seem to port over very nicely. Certainly more successfully than master maps. But what happens then, for example when you port a scenario from CMBN to CMRT? The game cannot automatically transform the included US/British units to Soviet equivalents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For cmbs: all infantry wind up as Russian command squads (7 men). And all vehicles end up m1a2 abrams... interesting stuff HAHA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you can use the scenario but have to redefine all units, and does that mean that the AI plans and scripting needs to be redone as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick up and play the scenario! Just with ak74s and m1a2s.. Edited May 21, 2021 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stagler Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) If i converted all of the CMFB quick battle maps to CMCW for use in quick battles, and posted the converted maps on CM mods warehouse would i be breaking any rules? I have seen some CMBS quick battle maps converted to WW2 titles and released as packs. Edited May 23, 2021 by Stagler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we have here is nice as it is and I wouldn't push it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 The golden rule with graphics, don't copy somebody else's work. I think the same goes with scenarios and maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertFox Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Anyone with any success importing CM:CW or CM:BS maps into CM:SF2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suchy Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 @DesertFox It is probably impossible.The terrain design in CMSF2 is completely different from the other games. It is only similar in CMA. That's why I converted all the maps from CMA to CMSF2 without any problem. With the maps from the other games I have not been able to do this despite repeated attempts. It's a pity, because they would be useful for the Euroscape mod. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being able to convert SF1 maps into CM:FI with cm_btt_mutator.exe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have like 10 Quick-Battle maps converted from CM Normandy - Commonwealth module to CMSF2. Newer CMBN maps won't allow for that trick, and older CMBN maps aren't the most desirable, but the Commonwealth module had a few nice ones. I had to remove all buildings for this process within the old version of CMBN, and then in CMSF2 put them back again, by hand. I can upload them to my website, if you like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get your hands on the old version of CMBN? Also is CW the newest we can go? I assume that was the first module 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing SF2 but the terrain is pretty disappointing. there are a few maps I can think of that may port. THEORY: I wonder if CMBN had the classic trenches like CMSF at one point. Then they updated how maps worked and that may have broken it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they updated how maps worked and that may have broken it. One could download the old patches, for example like this: https://www.patches-scrolls.com/dl.php?file=cmbn_v111_patch.zip Force install them over a current CMBN and then move out any .brz files from the data folder that are newer then the executable. But then the whole attempt hits a wall: You need an old working serial for the matching engine version, then also use it on a Windows OS that is compatible with the older DRM versions, like Windows XP. Such a serial can no longer be purchased. I may be able to help to clear out an old CMBN/CW map for porting. As long as I don't have to help with repopulating them with houses of the right type with the right window/door configuration. That is the time consuming part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 Ok cool I have xp drives but no old cd unless i looked on ebay or whatever. I'll clear some maps and get in touch with you when I'm ready. Hopefully they work. Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
