Convert 7.6 to 8.54 is it possible?

[PleagueX]

I have an server from 7.6 with custom map.

I love that server, i would like to host it again but nobody plays 7.6 so.. is it possible to convert it to 8.54? PLEASE help me

yeah it's possible..

easiest is probably to download a RME and convert it in that.

I downloaded RME, but i can't get it to 8.54, only to either 7.60 or 7.40 it says.

Map Version: 0.7.0
Client Version: 8.54

Do those. and click ok.

Okay thanks, now i can just start the server and people can connect with 8.54 client?

Edit : Now when i tried to start it i had some error in the console and then it shutdown, but it was so fast i was not even able to read what it said.

Could it be because i have the 7.6 server?
Maby i have to move all files to an 8.54 server?

When i enter the RME again and open test.otbm it says.

Could not open file : xxx\xxx\Ghettoblasters\data\world\test.otbm

if I had time I could convert it for you but now I don't =/
you can't just use the 7.6 server and try to run those on a 8.0+

You have to move the scripts, and in many cases you must remake the scripts as there's different functions.. etc.

One function in a 7.6 server could be something else in a 8.54 etc..

Awww. When do you think you have time then? I would love to host my old server.

If not you, do you know anyone reliable and trusted that could help me out with this?
I got no money so i can't pay anyone. :/

 

[RealSoft]

don't let anyone do it seriously, unless you want to risk being scammed..

and I'm heavy busy with my own project (My signature) and I got a really sick deadline now. =(

Uhm okay.. Then could i help you out with your project? I could be a tutor perhaps? I have the skills.
