UT3 Converter2 - 0.25c / UT4 Converter 0.4.1

[LighFusion]

Hello xtremexp, thx a lot for that awesome stuff and a lot of hours of coding....


My questioning - is it possible to transfer UT3 Sprite Effects, to UT2004 Sprites(Downgrade) - and if it so, how hard is it ?

[tarnationsauce2]

Hey,
You will add Unreal Engine 4?
Thanks!

This please.

It's a great tool to have, look what it done for me after converting an UT99 map to UT2004 in this thread http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...1#post31783951

nice one map im currently doing November CTF and a few otheirs,

also ur map is one of them for UT3 lol u beat me too it for ut2003

Thank you



Hi speedy,
ty for support! Sorry for late reply. Unfortunately i'm bit busy with some other stuff (and life),
so development of UT3 Converter is kinda "paused".
There are some little fixes that had been done quite some long time ago but never released.
I may consider release new version soon just for fixes.
But i may consider try adding support for UT2003 as well, this should not be so difficult as it's close to UT2004.
My main problem is that i dunno where i have my UT2003 CD install. I did not play UT2003 for long time since UT2004 came out quite quickly after.
Well i'll give u info about that if i do some work about it! (can't promise yet that i'll do)

letsdhope u do mate i know ur program was update a year and a half ago but still do the udpates would be great to see the full program up and running smooth

Well unfortunately i don't have lineage2 game and there is no planned work to make it compatible with it.
To which game you wanted to convert it?

well actually plan to edit maps in current game, lineage2.

[TKBS]

Is it possible to get UT2003 to work with the converter?
- i read post #659 by xtremexp, i was hoping someone has made it compatible....

Also, what is missing from the Converter to get UT2003 to work?.

Hello folks!
I'm working on UT99 to UT4 converter.
Some work has been done so far like converting brushes, lightning and most of pickups.
(but textures, sounds and music not yet converted prob in some future version)

You can download UT4 Converter here:
UT4 Converter v0.1.0

Enjoy !

Future versions may focus on Unreal 1 support and/or add sounds/texture conversion.

Note:
about UT3 Converter, developpement is halted and i'm more focused on UT4 Converter. (i may re-use some code of UT3 Converter to save time for the new converter)

[HO0815XX]

Great! Thanks! I hope it's possible to convert from UT3 to UT4 in near future too.

thanks alot mate for this now i have CTF Noember fot UT4 aswell u can import textures sounds ect if u use UT3 converter first and save them, then goto UT4 Editor, import them, then create auto cue for sounds and create textures ect manually

[xtremexp]

I'll probably add support for UT3 as well but won't be in a near future.
I'm focusing right on UT99 for the moment adding textures and sounds conversion support
and check texture alignements good. (prob for 0.2 version)
I was thinking about maybe use directly UT4 textures for conversion (optional). For example replace
a texture of grass from one in UT4 applying some scale and so on to fit with level.

After that support for Unreal 1 will be probably added (which should not be that long since it's pretty close to UT99).
After UT2004 or UT3, we will see! (StaticMesh, Terrain conversion is the hard work)

Thanks !
I also wanted to convert Nomvember because it's really good map. Nice to see you are converting it !
Good trick indeed about importing textures and sounds throught UT3 converter but i guess you prob manually have to set the sounds for all AmbientSound actors and
set good material for each polygon of each brush.

ive used is the new converter to convert the t3d file and im creating all brushs and placing items on the map as new as u mention and here the link to the topic \ progress

https://forums.unrealtournament.com/...870#post158870


EDIT
jsut a thoguht i think it would be easy to create new items on the map as fresh becuase the converter places notes and adds a link to the notes saying for example "Need convert: LiftExit" but use the UT4 liftExit not the import one, but will let you know how Ive done it once ive done with the textures


EDIT 2
before i forgot to ask which way would u do the textures ive set them as normal thats it do u recommend another options to add ?

About "Edit 1", mover conversion is partial which means it does convert the brush only (which you have to convert to StaticMesh in editor)
but "moving" info not yet (duration of movement, location, ...) so lift exit is not converted yet.

About "Edit 2":
i don't think i understand the question. Some good idea is to first try to use UT4 textures that are very close to UT99 ones in map.

Last note:
Saw your UT4 thread.Just note that UT4 does not have "PathNode" actors as previous UTs did. You have to create some "Navigation" volume (don't remember exact name) around the map and after build, the navigation map for bots will be automatically built

thanks for the feed back mate, for EDIT 2 on my post i forgot to delete it cos i got all textures made and sound auto cued now
To let u know for Sounds to played with a Loop jsut add a Looping Funtion in the middle of the default boxes and link them together and click save, for bots jsut check this topic out and will try this sortly https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...me-sample.html or this one https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Create...t_in_Blueprint

From the logs as i see,
it seems that you have tried to launch UT3Converter binaries within UT4 program folder.
UT3 and UT4 converter must be in separate folders.
UT3 Converter is for converting maps to UT3. Correct file to launch is UT3Converter2.jar (or runUR3Converter.bat)
UT4 Converter is for converting maps to UT4. Correct file to launch is UT4-Converter-0.2.1.jar (or RunUT4Converter.bat)
