Yes, but I'm saying to use the Virtual Voyager feature and convert it into a mod FOR EF2. Just a suggestion.

That is illegal. It is against the law to take somthing from one game and put in another. (not counting community made properties)

I'm not sure if it is illegal, but that sux a ef1 map imported to ef2 looks realy ugly, there are a few maps from ef1 in ef2 imported by fans and this maps are very ugly and a lil unhandy in teh ef2 engine...

It is illegal, the network administration and I have made our point pretty clear there in a previous topic.

I just want to add that this is VERY possible- we've successfully gotten to an attrexian colony map on an online multiplayer server one time. :D

Re: [EF2] Question...
 
Just to keep you guys here up to date, thats what i wrote in Zypers forum.


- You don't need accutly to mod the game it self, just the maps.
- You can change the missions scripts and maps for the SP maps to make them working in coops mode.
- You can delete all cinematics cuz cienematics are in the map script.
- You can spawn weapons and other stuff on the map, you can spawn almost everything without editing the map.
- You need to know how to programm in C++.
- You can even alter scripts on MAC pc's heres a good powerfull editor http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ (its not freeware!).
- There are no Spawnpoints on SP maps for Multiplayer missions, you have to spawn them on the maps via script or what ever.
- I've made a script wich can automaticly detect if the game runs in sp or mp mode, this can help you out with a few problems later. You Can find it on www.hazardmodding.chrissstrahl.de sp_mp_detection"direct download".
- For windows you can find many editors, tow good of them are: Notepad2 and Notepad++.

Re: [EF2] Question...
 
Okay, heres a lil update:
- The EF2 maps for sp don't have mp-spawnpoints, with out those all players start at teh location 0.0.0 on the map, on some maps this location is out of the map in the void, and so you start falling off...
- I don't know how i've managed this spawnpoint issue before but i was not able to figure it out again.
- You can warp a players to any position, maybe this helps in future projects.
- You can add and remove all Entitys wich are accesable from script, also those with out targetname!
- You can use the most commands for multiplayer/RPG Maps.
- The EF2 engine and models are very moddable ;)
