Map conversion question.

[klesh]

Can ToT maps be retrofitted to work with MGE or FW? Whose utility would I use for this and could someone point me in the direction of where to start. Thanks alot.

There's nothing to retrofit. There's no difference whatsoever.

Unless you're not talking about maps proper, but rather savegames or, well I don't know what...

The only problem could be the gigamaps which only work on MGE (and its different incarnations) and ToT.

Yes, well thats just it. I have only a scenfile whos map I would like to have as only a plain map. I figured there were utilities to do this with, but didnt know if it would work for ToT.

I suppose I could start the scen and save to get a savefile too.

But can the map itself be derrived from this? Drizzle me with knowledge here Mercator, as I know little in this area.

Open the savegame/scenario in MapEdit, and then save it as a map.

Or... if you have ToT you can start the scenario and use the "Map" menu to export the map(s) (i.e. save the maps in a ToT game as plain maps).

Maybe I have an older MapEdit, as it will only open bitmaps or .mp files specifically.

I suppose I can re-install ToT for this.
