catching features

im sure someone said that you could run on ocad files on catching features, i have an ocad file of an area but cant work out how, can anyone help? trebor?

theres details of how to load ocad maps somewhere on the catching features site....i tried it and can do it for simple maps but anything more complex / real terrain and it all goes wrong...

its a long slow process, especially if its a big map, make sure you save it regularly!

The official CF tutorial isnt finished but robbo made a tutorial for it, check it out here

send me ill tryu it, but i would like to point out that it will be very basic, i.e buildings, roads, fences, ruins will not look right (or maybe not even exist at all)

any other ocad maps can be sent as well, pm, me for my address
