skelley Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Does anybody know of a way to do this? I started to do an Operation but realized it would play very badly as one and I need to switch it to a Battle. Thx for any help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You'll need Pyewacket's map converter program. Do a search in the scenario forum under "Pyewacket" or "map converter". Make sure to download version 1.29. Once downloaded follow these steps: -Fire up CMAK and either CMBO or CMBB (your choice, but they all must be the latest versions) -Open the CMAK Op in the editor. Go to the map section and drag the cursor over the 2-D map. Minimize the page to desktop. -Repeat the same procedure with the other CM game. Again, make sure the cursor is over the 2-D map before you minimize the screen to desktop -Fire up the map converter program -Click on "Read CMAK v1.03". Wait until you get the message that the data was successfully read. -Click on "write CMBO 1.12" (or CMBB 1.03 if this is the other game you chosen). Again, wait for confirmation it succesfully wrote the data to the other game. -Preview the other game's map to confirm it transferred over. -Now go back into CMAK and click on "new scenario". Open the map editor, and with the cursor over the 2-D map minimize the screen to desktop. -Enter the map converter program and repeat the above conversion steps but this time you will be 'Reading from CMBO' and 'Writing to CMAK'. -If all goes well you will have converted the Op's map to CMBO (or CMBB) and then back again. Once you convert a map it loses whatever parameters it had from the original version, and reverts to the default setting, both in size, time and battle type. You can now tweak the parameters to whatever you want. Keep in mind that in all versions of CM (CMBO,CMBB and CMAK) the Op maps limits are bigger than the respective scenarios, so you may lose some terrain if your Op was originally bigger than the largest map allowed for a scenairo. If for whatever reason it doesn't work send it to me and I'll convert it over for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
