There might be, especially if you don't mind boring tasks like replacing the textures of a map one by one [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img].

Replacing the textures might not be the best thing. What I'm doing in my game is creating brand new textures, so that I have the new ones to use, plus all the nice old textures. This will give you that much more of a variety for the maps you're making.

LOL, I was talking about something different... one of our half-member on the Korax Team, Levelkiller, has brought 3-4 pretty cool Heretic maps into the project which we are free to use. Though they are Heretic map, most of the textures have been imported from Hexen, so making them Hexen maps would make them look nearly identical. Converting them wouldn't be much problem and I'll do the repopulating with monsters and stuff suitable to the TC's gameplay, but each and every linedef needs to be textured and that's a lot of work. Unless I find someone to do this for us, the TC might slip several months just because of this task. [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]

Oww. That will take a long time, especially if it's a complicated map. For some real laughs, try converting map 15 from Doom 2 to Hexen.

Which one is map 15? If you give me the name, I might recollect enough memories to know what you're talking about. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

The Industrial Zone (where the exit to the secret level is).

Aw, what a non-fun map it was... So what's the catch when you convert it to Hexen?

Nothing really, but it's a real complicated map with tons of textures. It would probably take more than half of the day to do. Simple maps like E1M8 of Heretic are fairly easy and won't take long, but those real complex ones are most likely not even worth the trouble.

I have been reading about the full TC. Wow! Have got to be looking forward to that! Is there anything the ill-educated but keen can do to help?

Thanks for the chance, RambOrc, I have emailed you, using my normal address, not the "weird" webmail one I use for public consumption. You keep yourself busy, don't you, with your project AND lots of support all over the forum. Do you sleep? [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

OK, I've just sent you a map to try your hands on the converting thing, gotta see how it works out. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote

Add that I'm doing this all as part of my pastimes (along with, among other things, managing half a dozen other websites), as I have a regular job and am still studying at the university... [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] As for sleeping, my average is about 5 hours/night, but now I'll have 4 days in a row where I don't have to get up in the morning, I'm going to sleep so much I haven't in years.
