currently I think that only 3 ppl here have expirience with the Editor, 1 is inactive, 1 'banned'? and the others haven't much time :/, personaly I know nothing about mapping , I just made a box with meshes xD

try to build the map and figure out the warnings/errors that will appear (missing resources & extra code) :-D

I think that those items doesn't exist on 2.5, google a program called UTPT, you will be able to open Textures, Meshes and others Packages of aa 2.5 (ONLY 2.5!), you will find all that you do want

Create a new folder, extract the exefile to that folder.
Make sure that you have this newly created OUTSIDE of any AA folder,

At start of AARE3.exe, it  will create 5 new folders.
dds- Textures
Maps
Obj - Staticmeshes
Rsk
Wav-Sounds

AARE will ask you for the folder where AA is installed.
Then Click Load and Export all Packages.

thx for posting ELiZ! i'm not sure if he knows how to build a unreal package, but, that will bring the light
ELiZ, are you able to convert 2.8x UScrit to 2.5 code or 2.5(actually UE2R) code to aa 2.8x?

It was long ago I accually did work INSIDE the unreal editor, byt the trick should be to add the static meshes and textures to the myLevel package, no?

I never cared to mess with , reading, writing or coverting those packages, but I might take a look.

Just came back from work, as a matter of things i actually have a pretty small amount of spare time.

With AARE you can extract most objects, textures to *.dds, and Meshes to *.obj.
Perhaps you can add the objects from 28x that you are missing direct into you level(map)

I hope to complete the missing components later on this month, and to a proper release of a AARS(AA Recording Studio) including a new version of AARE and other tools I've utilized though the years

That is a solution for sure, but it really depends on the amount of materials he wants to include in his map (and keep in mind that it will make your file size grow quite fast). Also, those materials can be re-packed up in a package and included in a mAAp release, so they can be used in other maps aswell. (mAAp already features some 2.8.5 ported materials, there's a -285 tagged package for sound, meshes and textures).

Btw kudos for your work, you're talented

If anyone whats to help me by converting my map to AA2.5 from AA2.8.5 the following is the .aao file and the .txt file for the map there is a few _AAO_'s in it and since they are not part of AA2.5 you can delate them from the map and then send me back a copy of the map finished since i been trying to convert it and it is not working for me

It would be so much more helpful if you were to throw in a few more details about what is not working, so we could look it out and find what's wrong. Also, i've already posted a link in LeBastion's thread, that shows a very well written tutorial (it was written by former game developers).
