backup7 Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Hey, i have a question... Last summer i made a map for Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force using Ef Radiant (...which i never released...) on my sister's computer. Now, I want to transfer that map to my computer so i can covert it into a jk2 map and release it. (my sister is taking her computer to college with her in 2 weeks..) I tried uploading the .map file of my map from my sister's computer to my computer using an email upload service. Then i downloaded the attachment of the .map file, but it only allowed me to save it as a webpage or text document. Of course, this file type cannot be opened by jk2 radiant. Is there any way that i can transfer the .map file from my sister's computer to mine??? please help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 .MAP is apparently (I learned recently) a server extension of some sort, so you can't usually download files like that off of a server. Use WinZIP to put the MAP into a ZIP archive and then send that to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hack Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 You can try changing the extension of your map to a .txt (i.e. map.txt) then upload it like you tried before. After you download it to your PC, change the extension back to (map.map). I have done this before with other files but I haven't tried it with .map extensions. I am not sure if it matters. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienprotein Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Converting to a .txt extension would be the simplest way. Since the file can be viewed through notepad, a .txt extension would be fine. Have you tried using a floppy disk to Xfer the data? I know I have a map full of models, and such. The file size is only 349 KB (358,157 bytes). Enough to fit on a floppy without even having to change the extension. I would have to say Start with finding out the file size. Then you can go from there. Although this does not include; custom Textures, shaders, and models. Maybe try zip drive, or CD Burner if you got one.. I am surprised you where unable to email the file with the .map extension. I send out all kinds of files, with odd extensions with out any problems. Hell some have no extensions. I re read your post, and you said i downloaded the attachment of the .map file, but it only allowed me to save it as a webpage or text document. . Cant you just rename the extension from .txt to .map??? It should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grets Sirob Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Here's what I did: Someone sent me a .map for something I was going to make for him(Hi dbz!) Anyway, I got the e-mail as a colloection of words(it looked like what it would look like if you opened the .map file with notepad..) So, I just copied the words, pasted them in a new notepad doc, and renamed the extension to .map. I just got the main shape of the thing yesterday, so obviously it worked. :dangit jk2.net, make smilies for the ranks!: Grrarroooaaar!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
