Map Convertion
I recently got TFT and wanted to upgrade some of my older maps. Mostly Terrain changes and stuff. But to make that map a RoC Map again, what would I have to do? I've looked it up on Google, but I can't really find a working converter of any type. I've tried Ultimate Map SLK Optimizer and that just gave me tons of crashes. I tried a different one, too. Don't remember the name of it, but it didn't do anything. And I'm running Vista, which I don't think matters all that much. But thanks for the help.

you could try this:
click Save as and type .w3m after your map name

- Custom ability data have been specified (Object Editor)
- Expansion-only units are being used
- Expansion-only custom data values are being used (Object Editor)
- Expansion-only trigger functions, types, or values are being used (Trigger Editor)
- Custom gameplay constants have been specified (Advanced->Gameplay Constants)
I don't know why I have "Expansion-only units are being used" because I'm not using any. But thanks, again

Re: Map Convertion
Well, you've got a lot of deleting ahead of you if you want to make that map RoC-compatible again.

Re: Map Convertion
There is a way. Didn't you notice that all my RoC maps contain TFT features?
This "way" I am talking about is a bit too advanced for you.

Re: Map Convertion
How would you know whether it's too advanced for me? Just because I'm JUST getting TFT doesn't mean I'm incapable of learning new things.

Re: Map Convertion
No, it is too advanced for me to write down in a simple forum post. Too much information, too many things to tell. My attention span is short tonight. The weather is hot and I was working all day. (Yes, physical work!)
EDIT: I do, however, have planned for quite some time to write a tutorial on how to do this. Once it is complete...

Re: Map Convertion
Alright, I guess my map can hold off until then, or just be released on TFT.
Thanks for the help, 3ICE.
