Hi, i want to convert some good Quakeworld Maps into Halflife, but i dunno how. I try to convert the quake .bsp's with the tool "bsptwomap", but it dont work. It says: Error: Bsp is version 29, not 30. So i cant edit the etinities in the maps . Please help me.

Here is a useful utility called QVER (Shub Hub mirror), which can change the BSP version number. I've uploaded a copy because it was difficult to track down when i needed to find it a while back.


Not sure whether it will make the map usable in halflife, but you can change the version number and see what happens.

edit: uploaded to shubhub

Thank u very much. Iam going to test it now .

ok i can change the version and convert to map. but there is another problem. when i want to start the map. hl says me: textur 92 is not 16 aligned. dont understand that

Using QVER for map conversion is about as effective as renaming C:\autoexec.bat to lilo.conf in hopes of converting your system into Linux

Maybe you'll eventually run Quake maps in HL like that, but they won't be very playable. What you should really do is take the longer route, edit .map files, give them HL textures, objects etc. and save them in proper HL format. All original id maps are under GPL right now, and you can get the sources from here:

For custom maps sources, you must contact the autors (in most cases i think, don't know if any of them are available for free).

There is also number of Quake Maps ports for Deathmatch Classic, try them, they should run under regular HL i think.
