These Questions are Mainly for Ramborc.. Now there is a Certain Heretic Map that I'd like to see in Hexen, I got Her2Hex and have Converted it. But I'm not sure if you really want anymore Converted Maps. So all I'm really asking is if I may Convert the map, Add Vavoom Features, Retexture and Modify some of the other Parts and then Upload. For those who may want to see the map, In the New Stryker folder on Koraxdev I've uploaded it. Just goto E2M2 then thats the one.

The wadfile didn't work for me, maybe you forgot to specifiy binary upload mode?

Okay, fixed it (I think). I managed to succesfully download it and play it. BTW this would be for KA.. Unless you'd rather have it SE.

These are some cool maps, I really like them a lot (they would look really cool with Vavoom features <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> ).

What do I do wrong? I can't run them in KA and can't open them in WadAuthor. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

<!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> I forgot to really say, that I uploaded the Heretic Version of the Levels if you wanted to look at the Heretic Version before any Actual Conversions happened. Anyways, I've uploaded what I got so far. It Converted E2M2 of Lavalord.wad the Hexen Version can now be found as Korax.wad in my directory. I've added some Vavoom Features but am still working on adding a bit more and retexturing. Once I'm done with the Retexturing I may add to the Level a bit more. Hope you guys can play the new one.

Now it worked. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Not a bad one, I think it's worth converting and upgrading. Liked the modification you did with the 3D floors, keep on with the good work! <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> (and don't forget the KA posters, LOL)

I haven't gotten to the Posters yet. But They'll be in.. Still gotta figure out a name for this one. <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Just a small note Stryker, please include any new textures you make into your WAD file, I will upgrade the original files (katextrue.wad) on my own, this is so you won't have a difficult time uploading it and everyone else can download it easier. <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Okay, Firebrand. Though I don't really know if I'll be making any more textures. Or Even flats. Anyways, I've uploaded a new version.. I may do a bit more with it if I find Bugs or anything. Until then this may be the last Version. I Didn't add much or any new Architechure to it, but I got more 3D Floors and stuff.. I got those Posters you wanted Ramborc. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Not bad, though I think it could use more enhancements (like posters in many more areas, including the big lava room, some slopes, more lightning and items, a lot of ammo etc). Doesn't strike me as a very good deathmatch map, but it'd make a fine Critter Hunt map. Critter Hunt is anyway very similar to single player, so many SP maps should work fine for it. As I guess you all noticed the KA release date has been cancelled for the time being, Camper is currently on the Critter Hunt mode and I see that other depts have some stuff to do - rather delay it some more and have a more polished product, I'd say.

Okay then, I'll work on adding more Ammo, Posters, Slopes, etc. Later I may get to adding onto the map... Or is it Big/Small enough? And should I convert E2M1 and E2M3 to Hexen and work on those too?

If you've got some great idea what you want to add to it, why not. OTOH if you asked in on general principles, I'd say wait yet with enlargening the map, we don't have any experience with Critter Hunt yet, I have no idea as of now how big a map is for an optimal game of CH. Regarding the other two maps, if you find them good maps, I'd say yes go ahead and convert/enhance them.

I've converted E2M1 of Lavalord.wad and I'm starting off with Adding some Static Lighting to it, then I'll do the 3D Floors. I don't really think E2M3 is a very good one for any type of Deathmatch, So I didn't really Bother with converting that one.
