Title: Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps? Post by: *Mr. T on June 11, 2004, 03:05:59 am Hey suckas. Has anyone had any luck opening the DAMN Map Pack Command Maps to edit them? I have the RSB converter and can open the orignal mission maps just fine. However, when I try to open a DAMN maps they convert all bit mappy with a awful pink and green color scheme.
Lemme know. Thanks! -T Title: Re:Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps? Post by: Civrock on June 11, 2004, 03:21:07 am hey "sucka"... it all worked fine here. i don't know what your problem is.

Post by: BFG on June 11, 2004, 01:02:35 pm Same here 'sucka' ;) Sounds a little odd - we've had no problem that i know off with the *DAMN command maps - ask :MoD: Nomad if you see him as he played around with them a fair bit might be able to enlighten you.
Maybe your RSB converter is a little mushed up? What are you trying to open them with afterwards? Photoshop? Title: Re:Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps? Post by: *Mr. T on June 11, 2004, 06:44:55 pm Well... I got the (Mac) RSB converter from :MoD: Nomad. And, yes, I'm using Photoshop to open them. I'll follow up Nomad, but if anyone else has any suggestions I'm all ears.
Here's what I get after converting Downtown. Ugly, right? (http://www.macrostate.com/stupidjunk/ig_downtown.jpg) Title: Re:Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps? Post by: :MoD: Nomad on June 11, 2004, 09:08:32 pm I had the same problem, was able to convert them, but they came out pink, purple, etc ***UGLY***. Unable to find a solution to my problem, I started myself a game and took screen shots of the command map view. I then cropped and resized the maps in photoshop, making sure the sized up with the ugly originals. I then added the grid, map points, etc that I wanted andconverted them back to RSB. Took a while, but looks good. Note, you will need to take a couple screenshots at different spawn points so that you can remove the character position on the map. Hope this helps.

I took them back to my Mac, made my tweaks and was able to export them with the Mac converter no problem. Thanks for your help guys. *Mr. T Title: Re:Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps? Post by: BFG on June 12, 2004, 12:41:09 am Ahhh sneaky ;) Didn't think youd have a horrible beast tucked away you could use instead!
Crikey that reminds me i was meant to do those command maps.... :o Title: Re:Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps? Post by: *Mr. T on June 14, 2004, 10:42:09 pm Arrrrrrrrraaahhhh! This is so frustrating.
I CAN open the DAMN Map Pack maps, but I CAN'T open the originals (ghost town, mbc, stronghold, etc.)! WTF? Is there anyone out there who's had success with this that's friendly enough to email me the "Mp1" and "Origmiss" command maps converted into PICT format? For your help, I promise to never SK you again and I'll send back to you my reworked maps :-) I pity myself... *Mr. T Here's an example of my reworked Captain's Nest (http://www.macrostate.com/stupidjunk/cptnest-commandmap.jpg) Title: Re: Opening DAMN Map Pack Command Maps?
