Ghost Recon Mapping on pc/mac

[BTs_MrBombastic]

hi there guys!

After i have done a 3d course with cinema 4d i would really like to know how to build maps for ghost recon. Where i finally want to play them would be on a macintosh, on gameranger. But i have a pc here to build it on.

What am i able to do:
I can build houses mountains and stuff whitout problems, and put some textures inside. Thats not very hard. So i create a world and save it.
Then i have a cinema4d file (.c4d). What do i do now?

Are there any converters to convert a c4d file or any other program file of a 3 dimensional program into a finished ghost recon map?

I also know tehre are some text files at every map which say how many fog, snow, rain and stuff it has. Where do i get this?

Other questions about the 3d world:
Do i have to implement the textures into the file for a ghr map? Or shall i create a folder and link them from there?
And does the world have to be closed? Does it need to be covered by a sky and by side walls?

Thanks for every answer / idea u post here!

You need to get the files somehow into 3D Studio Max on your PC and export the data their with the relating Ghost REcon map plugins. The map file and all textures should be in one folder but doesn't have to be. For tutorials look at http://www.ghostrecon.net

ok thx mauti, i wil look for 3d studio max....

i also know that many cool tools come with the ghost recon pc cd rom, including a mapediting program. Maybe i should get the pc version then...

would it be illegal to download thge ghost recon cd for pc and use the apps on it?

Also if i have bought ghost recon for mac already?

I think it would be illegal but may you get the free tools somewhere else Further it can be that some tools like IGOR have to access the map files so a complete GR Installation on the PC can't hurt.
