map to 3ds
Barrah Switzer:
I've been playing with the idea of useing jpct to write something like a FPS, not exactly but similar. What I was wondering is this. I have a leve I have been working on, in .map format (HL actually). I have a conversion program that says it will convert it to 3ds. Once it's converted I should be able to load it as a 3ds object??? Then is it just a matter of collosion detection and controlling the camera??
Any help would be great!!
Thanks............

Basically yes! I'm currently writing some example code that shows how to start (the collision detection isn't perfect in this example and you can't shot anything, but anyway...).
I've uploaded a demo of it here (still without sources, but they'll follow once it's finished):
http://www.jpct.net/download/fpsdemo.zip
Controls go like this:
--- Code: ---
Commandline parameters:
width=xxx : The width of the framebuffer
height=xxx : The height of the framebuffer
fullscreen : Force the engine to use fullscreen modes
16bit : Try to get a videomode with 16bit color (instead of 32)
Controls:
cursor-keys : Moving around
PGUP/PGDWN : Looking up/down
ESC : Exit
x : Switch between Software/LWJGL mode (may have some problems in fullscreen mode!)
--- End code ---
BTW: I'm very interested in the HL->3DS converter (the level i'm using for the demo has been converted from Q3 format), because i was always looking for such thing but couldn't find anything good (that worked!).
Hope this helps.

it's called 3d exploration, it's about 2 years old. I downloaded it from some guys web page. I found out later that it has become 'Deep Exploration' . Which is a commercial product. I don't know if the version I have is a freeware/shareware, a crack or what. I haven't tried it yet, but I will in the next couple of days. I'll let you know how it works.
If you could post the source to your FPS demo, that would be great.

Deep Exploration can load Half-Life maps? :shock:
I know that it can load Half-Life models but i'm unsure about the map-format itself...
Too bad that i don't have any Half-Life maps ATM to try that, because i do own Deep Exploration (but only 2.0...3.0 is current). It's a GREAT tool...i just love it.

So how did you convert the Quake3 map?? deep exploration or some other way??
