MapConverter: Help with file path

Beitrag von SlaySoft »

Good day guys

Recently I have started to plan a few 'small projects'. For that reasson I am starting to learn all mechanics that SSII Editor has. To understand better how all works together (units, scripts, triggers...) I will wonder to open an existing mission (.ssm) and take a look for myself.

I found mapconverter by Mzach but when I try to open, it shows that message 'Sudden Strike II main folder could not be located. See "FIX FOR RUSSIAN VERSION" in the readme file'. I have been reading README file, I have tried to apply all steps it says but I cannot be able to LINK mapconverter with my SSII folder. My SSII is GOG edition so path is C:\GOG Games\Sudden Strike II.

Please, can anybody help me? (I have been looking for answers through FORUM SEARCH engine with no result).

EDIT: My game language is ENGLISH

Perhaps the point here is the name of the folder - it’s a bad idea to give names with spaces. It’s better to do this:
[SSII]
language = Russian
version = SSII
folder = c:\Game\SSII
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\edit.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps.src

You can try to write like this:
[SSII]
language = Russian
version = SSII
folder = "c:\GOG Games\Sudden Strike II"
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\edit.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps.src

Thanks a lot for your fast answer Zarathustra. Sadly it doesn't work. I have tried both ways but I still recieve the same message. I don't know, by default, which is the directory where mapconverter.exe is pointing. If somebody here uses MapConverter, can, please, tell me what is the directory where Sudden Strike II is?

I have the feeling that, when Mzach developed mapconverter.exe, there were only CDV Original's sudden strike version (before GOG). So maybe mapconverter is pointing that old default directory. Maybe ProgramFiles/CDV...../Sudden Strike II. Can anybody confirm that?

Another idea is to extract all files inside mapconverter.exe and edit the one who set up the point intallation; but I have no idea how to do that (I only know how to extract .exe files).

Sometimes you have to use this program, I have many different mods and they all work!

It doesn’t matter where mapconverter is installed, you just need to edit the file:
c:\Program Files\mapConverter\path.txt
and indicate in it the paths to all your games/mods
for example like this:

[RWG-0.8]
language = Russian
version = 0.8
folder = c:\Game\Truth_of_War
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\RWG-ToW.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps.src

[RWG-0.87]
language = Russian
version = 0.87
folder = c:\Work\ToW_087
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\RWG-ToW.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps.src

[RWG-1.9]
language = Russian
version = 1.9
folder = c:\Game\RWG1.9
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\RWG-2.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps.src

[SSII]
language = Russian
version = SSII
folder = c:\Game\SSII
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\RWG-ToW.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps.src

[FMRM]
language = Russian
version = FMRM
folder = c:\Game\SSII\FMRM
maps = Maps
edit3 = Editor\edit3_FMRM.exe
maps.src = Editor\maps_fmrm.src


Then, at startup, the converter will ask you: in which game do you want to decompile the card?
