A while ago, someone made a great tool called MapConv.
Here's what the author had to say about it:
Here's what the author had to say about it:
MapConv - Tool For Building Levels Using Hammer
I had written a little application a few years back for converting v220 format maps to older games, and after coming across it again recently, decided to give things an update. This had started out as a very Hexen II focused tool, but has branched out to other engine types since the earlier versions.
This tools primary purpose is to allow for level building using Valve's Hammer Editor (3.4/3.5) by converting a maps format to that of Quake1, Quake2, Quake3, and variant engine types. It also has the ability to run compilers with user specified arguments on the converted file, and then launch it in its respective game (keeping the process of building levels with Hammer as simple as clicking a button). Check out the documentation for a full writeup of what else it can do.
Also released with this tool are updated versions of the Hexen II and Quake1 FGDs, and full in-editor model support for each (over 300 models, including all point entities). Useful even without MapConv.
MapConv and the other downloads are available below, let me know if you have any questions!
