MAPFool 1.0 Released

Just got word from an old friend of mine, Daryn "PeppyFool" Waite (creator of the Todesangst Mod series) that he has coded a small program to reduce the amount of rework in importing old Half-Life (1) maps into Half-Life 2. Here are some of its features:

Texturing

• View the textures used in a map file, along with their frequency of usage
• Export individual or all of the textures used in a map file to .tga
• Convert exported .tga files into material .vtf files
• Auto generate generic .vmt files for both regular and transparent textures
• Globally prepend (insert before) a folder name in front of all the texture names used in a map file

Editing

• Let you view and analyze all entities and their key values in your map file
• Replace all usages of obsolete texture names (like AAATRIGGER) with their Source equivalents
• Convert obsolete entities (like func_wall) into their new Source equivalents
• Auto "explode" func_water into world brushes and texture it with tools/toolsnodraw

MAPFool is available for download at: http://www.peppyfool.com/downloads

Nice tool indeed. Its a shame that Valve either havent made a such tool or dont want to release it. It must have a boring job to convert all the HLS maps.

I've noticed a problem in some maps. When you have transparent detail brushes, they get backface culled. So, if you have a bush, it will look funny.

What's backface culling ?

[sfx1999]

When a triangle is not facing the camera, it is not drawn. It is culled (removed).

[@$3.1415rin]

the direction of a face is defined by the order of its defining vertices, i.e. if it looks clockwise or counterclockwise to you

, lets conver the HL DM classics!

I was disappointed with the crossfire port, because the nuke didn't work. Replacing the computer equipment with combine versions was a nice touch.

Also, the guns weren't there.
