CC2CC3 - a CC2 to CC3 format map convertor


Don't want to download those CC2 maps? Have CC2 already ? This program is a one step converter that will make the cc2 maps ready to be played in cc3. And very unlike me, it even comes with a graphical interface.

Usage

Make a directory, let's say c:\CC2cc3, doesn't matter where it is. Copy the CC2CC3.exe file there.
Run program, select File-Open, browse to your CC2\graphics\maps directory and select the bgmapXXX you wish to convert. Press Ok, and in a few secs you should have the cc3 files in c:\cc2cc3\output. Just copy them from there to CC3\maps.

You can select whether to convert hedges into WF bocage or regular Atomic hedges. If you're playing regular CC3, use the Atomic option and if you're playing (almost) any mods, use the WF option ( which is the default ).

You can also run the program in DOS. The command syntax is CC2CC3 path&mapnumber, for example "CC2CC3 c:\games\cc2\graphics\maps\map100".

You will need the MS Java Virtual Machine ( www.microsoft.com/java ), but most up-to-date WIN98 systems should already have it installed. Prepare to be assimilated.

The element conversions ( as in which element in cc2 corresponds to an element in cc3 ) are courtesy of Mick(xe5), this time they should even be correct :) ( typos, damn typos) . He's also the author of the CC2&CC3 Map FAQ's where I got the roof file format.

v. 1.3

What's new:

Fixed yet another element conversion.
Caught a null pointer exception that caused the program to exit if you didn't have CC2 installed.

v. 1.2

What's new:

Fixed some of the element conversions.
Added option to select bocage conversion method.
Fixed a hanging bug relating to the ini-file.
