I made a Build to T3D map converter. T3D files are Unreal 1 text files that you can import directly into the DNF editor. Awhile ago I ported Polymer to C# for my Unity DukeSharp port, I refactored that code to be a map converter. So basically this uses Polymer as a backend to convert map files.

Notes:
Any sectors that relied on overlapping sectors, were sectors existed in the same 3D space, will need to be fixed. There's no way for an exporter to fix that.

How to:

1) Extract the map file and tables.dat into the same folder as the executable.
2) DukeMapT3D.exe MapFile
3) Open DukeED and do file -> import and click on the T3D file that's generated.

To fix the bad UV's.
1) Right click on any face and select "select all faces".
2) Right click on any face click on align selected then click planar.

This can be quite useful for the community. Do you know if other engines support t3d files or if there are converter tools that will convert t3d files to formats those engines support? Specifically I am thinking of O3DE, Godot or any of the open source idTech engines.

Automatic Texture Assignment now works. So you can export a build map to duke nukem forever and textures will automatically be assigned to each brush.

How to:

EDIT:
!!If you are loading a mod you need to extract all of the mod art files as well!!!

1) Extract the map file and tables.dat and palette.dat and all .art files into the same folder as the executable.
2) DukeMapT3D.exe MapFile
3) BEFORE importing the T3D file, you need to import all the textures and SAVE out the Duke Texture Package. Generated textures are in a new folder that has the same name as you map.
4) OPEN THE PACKAGE FILE WITH THE TEXTURE BROWSER OR SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WONT LOAD ALL THE TEXTURES.
5) Open DukeED and do file -> import and click on the T3D file that's generated.

To fix the bad UV's.
1) Right click on any face and select "select all faces".
2) Right click on any face click on align selected then click planar.

It can definetely be modified to output to whatever format but unreal 1-3 to my knowledge is the only engines that support t3d.

Hello. Not works for me, I see long polygons after importing.

Me too, i've build the map, followed all the instructions and it ended up looking like this:

Sorry you are experiencing this. Can you post the map file you've experienced this with? So far we haven't been able to repo this issue. Here's an example of DUKERIDE from DNF 2013 importing just fine. But definetely please let me know what map you guys are trying to import and ill see if I can reproduce that issue.

Sure, it was E1L2:

I did a fresh import of E1L2 and on my end it works.

Are you using some different version of DukeED? I'm using the one that comes from the original leak + the MegaPatch

So the issue is somehow in your version the periods got changed to commas. I dont know how that would have happened. So its either some really weird on your end or somehow it got manually changed, but I don't think this is a issue directly related to the tool.

Could this be related to my system language? I'm Brazilian so the language in my PC is portuguese.

It could be, if so then it is then its an issue with .NET. You can try switching your language to english.

Regional settings of Windows and having either comma or dot set up as a decimal separator can definitely fuck with data output/input from applications, had that happen to me before. In Windows 10 (probably 7 and 11 as well), you can change this by going to Control Panel -> Clock and region -> Region/Change format of date, hour or numbers -> Formats -> Additional settings -> Decimal symbol.

Anyway, impressive work on the tool, Icecoldduke! I can see this being useful, even if the SOS geometry gets messed up.

Just confirmed, it was indeed my system language, just changed it to english and the map now imports just fine

I noticed a few were interested in bringing dn3d levels over. Good job on making it easier to do. That's some solid code also I see. I'd probably use this for if I want to port one of my old maps or something lol. I'll try it sometime good idea.

Do you know if there are any converters, similar to this, from t3d to the formats of other engines?

[MusicallyInspired]

That's pretty freaking cool nice job!

In my latest I changed the code to export to a custom interm format that you can use to import to into other software.
