Converting map from 8.6 back to 7.6

[met_fredrik]

Hi,

As the title says I am trying to convert a map back to 7.6 using RME.
Any tips doing this?

One other thing i'm trying to find is a description of the OTBM standard so I could write my own software to do it.

Thanks for any tips or hints!

all i can tell you, you will have to map alot after you convert it, 8.6 got so much more items/objects than 7.6 so you will find alot of those missing ( depends on map) and possibly border buggs. (im suggesting 'cause i never done that before)

Agreed, it's more "easy" rewrite your sources to make your server 7.6 read/accept any map version, like I did.

Thanks for replies both of you. Nottinghster, would you care to share some insight on what needs to be done to make the server accept 8.6 otbm files?
Thanks.
