So I was wondering could it be possible to use these levels in TF2? I'd love to play the facility as a control point map. I'm fairly new to making source maps, having just started today.

Has anyone done this yet? And if not, how would I go about doing it?

Not possible unless you put TF2 entities in it (game manager, spawn points, etc)

[FReXx]

I think not, but maybe there is there any software to do it!

It's never that easy, even porting maps from GES alpha to beta will need some "hammering" and this is the same engine.
Sure you can simply throw it them into your maps-folder but certain things like weaponspawns or ladders won't work.
Now imagine you wanna port a DM map from a EP1 game to well TF2.

So the easiest way to have a GE map in TF2 is to start from scratch with it, coz you'll need another size for doors, windows etc. and you'll also need other textures to fit the style of the game.

Indeed, facilty is too narrow and not suitable for TF2.

I mean, imagine a sniper in facility (forgetting the place with the silos) ? And the spies ?

I personally think that this is a bad idea, sorry.

TF2 is based on 16u/foot, previous games were based on 12u/foot, so the scale would indeed be very wrong.

[oosh]

oh okay. So facility wouldn't work with tf2, but it would work with games like half-life deathmatch, right?

and are there any goldeneye levels that would work well for tf2? The dam, maybe? Surface?

[X-tra]

Think of a map that will help all classes. Not a map too open or too narrow.

I think that depot would be perfect.

Either way if you are going to port over ANY level, you need the creator's permission. Especially if you are going to be mangling it for another mod/game.

[oosh]

really? even if I'm not making money off it?

[killermonkey]

Absolutely, according to US Copyright law a person's intellectual property (eg their map creation or whatever) is "owned" by them as soon as they make it even if it is not published or sold. That means you need their permission to use it in your own work. It is also VERY COMMON courtesy in this MOD business to ask and not assume.

[oosh]

oh okay then

I've decided to try and make a HL Deathmatch level out of facility instead of TF2, so I should ask the guy who made it. Anyone know how to contact him?

[Konrad Beerbaum]

If you are going to take someone else's hard work, it is common courtesy to ask them first. 

Facility and most of the props in it were made by Fourtecks.

Why would you anyway? It wouldn't fit the game at all.
