Converting Doom maps to Quake

[mh]

Additionally, many doom maps are larger than 8kqu across (potentially by a factor of 8).

That pretty much nails the idea then. Don't even bother, in other words.

Can oblige-created bsps be decompiled safely?

Might work better by using quake2 format (by editing games/quake.lua) and decompiling that.

Oblige and Doom2Brush are my programs btw.

Not a format problem, just requires a modified protocol.
They're not all bigger than 8kqu, but a lot of them are shifted outside that range. Its theoretically easy enough to recenter the doom map as part of converting it.

Why not make a MAP export feature for Oblige?

Maybe -- I've never said I wouldn't.

Other stuff is just more important or more interesting right now.

Why do I get the feeling someone is trying to push the reinvention of the wheel here...

I made a convertion of the ZDoom models in "The Hangar" map.
It's a quake map, but in the pakfile you'll find all Doom monsters converted to Quake1.
Even most sprites are included as well as the qc files.

You could use it as a start to realize your Doom maps in Quake1.

late to thread.....

made an episode in oblige, decompiled in winbspc, but the 6-7th maps wouldnt decompile, prob size issues or whatever. but the other .maps loaded in bsp just fine, added a world light entity and compiled with a few errors. totally playable. maybe with some lua editing on one side and bsp editing they might be more than adequate!
