If we could jsut rename the map to say midship.map (any map is fine) and just replace that map on our XBOX's, wouldn't it load? There is nothing stopping it. The mainmenu works the same, it just launches the map. We don't need to do a bsp conversion to get a custom map on XBOX going.
But that is IMO.
Heh, if that was all it was, we wouldn't have this thread
. h2v maps are a completely different type of map, which is why they need to be converted

I need a favor can someone make me a bsp that is only a sky and a box similar to the shared bsp in h2x but like 3x bigger.
My reason is I don't know how to use 3ds so I cant do it myself and I need the most basic possible to study.

I didn't mean to offend you I already have your map in ascension waiting to be playable I'm glad you shared it. Again I know very little about making models and such in 3ds and I was just wondering if we can go any simpler.

We'll im taking a break and enjoying my summer vaction I wont be doing any modding till school starts.
Here's the source to my app I was working on to convert the bsp's and load h2v maps. Its by no means complete and will change drastically when I start working on it again. But its better than nothing and should help you guys understand the process of converting the maps a little more.
Have fun every see all In a month
