converting custom AA to SH

[Devil_Dog]

Is there a way to convert custom AA maps for Spearhead. I get an error "invalid map in rotation" when I try to run them from my computer.

They don't need to be converted, the map format is exactly the same. It's probably a typo/mistake in the map rotation.

you will get that sometimes if you r starting a server from in the game itself trying to run singleplayer maps.The best method is to make a extra shortcut on your desktop for spearhead.In the target box of the new shortcut put something like this.

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\moh_spearhead.exe" +set dedicated 0 +set developer 1 +set ui_console 1 +set cheats 1 +set thereisnomonkey 1 +exec new.cfg

its best to have cheats on imo if ya spawning,modding

make a copy of your team.cfg in spearhead and rename it new.cfg In the new config add the maps you r trying to run.
Example
// Map
// Starting map on the rotation.

map "m1l1"

sv_maplist "m1l1 m1l2''

remember thou there is alot more to running the singleplayer maps in multiplayer than just firing them up...will have bots etc etc that need to be removed..lots of scripting is involved to make them really playable and crashfree including adding new spawn points.I plan on re-scripting some of the singleplayer maps from breakthrough to spearhead soon.But to make them really look and play good i know its a long process which i do not have time for atm due to other things i am working on.I will eventually do it and release it thou.Heres a copy of m1l1 that we currently run on our server.Maybe this will give you a good starting point of a example of what may be involved in re-scripting the rest.

actually this post is better suited for scripting section than mapping prolly

Thanks guys, I will try the shortcut thing. I was just trying to check out some new maps, found most on mapraider. They said they where mutliplayer, but maybe I got a couple single player maps by accident.

One thing I did notice. Sh maps seem to be named "mapname_dm" and AA maps have the dm in front "dm_mapname".

Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I was half expecting an answer dealing with re-compileing or something.

There is exactly one difference between AA and SH/BT maps - the farplane is handled differently. The symptom is that the sky is all black, but the map runs fine. If you run into this problem, it can be easily fixed by script (see the SH/BT scripts for the vanilla AA maps).
