Maybe you guys misunderstood or i just didn't explain it too well. I've got maps for that i made, they arn't compiled, and want to convert them to unreal/ unreal tournament maps.

Sorry, a HL to Unreal map converter does not exist.

However, you could try bsp2t3d (http://www.unrealized.com/main/tools.html?display_section=Level%20Design). It's a Quake map (compiled bsp) to Unreal map (uncompiled t3d) converter. Since HL and Quake are based on the same engine and use the same map format it could be possible to get the .bsp geometry and save it into a Unreal .t3d file.

Interesting... does it also work with Quake2 maps? Does it convert textures too?

You would have to export the textures and then import them to Uneal, I think.

I've tried that converter a few times and it ONLY works with (I believe) a specific version of Quake 1. That means you'd have to install Quake and an old version of Worldcraft, and then find some way of getting a Half-Life .map into that version of Worldcraft. Good luck with that, heh heh heh.

Besides, a BSP would make your UT map full of redundant and useless polygons that would slow the game.
