gibsonm Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi, Perhaps I’m missing something obvious here but I have been given permission to use the map from an operation for several stand alone scenarios and I’m bouncing around trying to figure out how to “save” the map as a discrete file so I can then import it for the scenarios. Is this possible? Do I need some third party utility? Any suggestions / advice (the map is 8km x 4km so “redrawing” it is not really an option). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Not possible. The only thing you could have done is do the map in Mission Mapping first, then export to a CMx1 battle or operation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Map converter by Pyewacket will take an operations map and convert it to a regular one. I can't find the link to the download at the moment though. Your operations map will probably be larger than are allowed for scenarios. But Map converter will read the whole operations map and then you can write parts of it to your scenario map. Kind of like cutting it into smaller pieces. I do this when I want to copy something off one of my maps to put into a new one. Like a nice mansion and surrounding area, instead of redoing it from scratch, just use Map converter to put that block on to the new map in the location I want and that part is done. A really handy tool. lee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Lee, Thanks. I’ll have a look for it (bet it wont run on my Mac though). However, I want to maintain the current map size (to force players away from “edge running” and be aware that there is a bigger picture. I might just keep it as an Operation and reduce the number of battles to one and see what happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I bet your right about it not running on a Mac. I guess you could email me the operation and I could convert it for you. Just send to the email listed here or BoB. lee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 On its way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 For what its worth Page 145 of the manual says “Operation maps cannot be imported” into Quick Battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 The map I converted for you can be imported into a QB, but then it isn't really what you are needing now. lee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
