Not gonna happen anytime soon.... the file formats are too different. Correct me if I'm wrong though George...

It would be tricky I'm afraid. The formats are semi-similar, but writing something to convert between the two would take longer than it would to just convert each of the dungeons by hand.

hmmm

would it be possible to retainn some of the information? I mean some is better than none. Like the layout of the dungeons and location and destination of teleporters and stairs. or any basic information like that.

This way they would need to place monsters and items and fix all their traps. However since there will probably be work done in those areas with the new abilities it's shouldn't be so big a deal.. it's the map layout that's the biggest job.. and making sure stairs and teleporters are set up right is the nex least pleasant job.. but making puzzles and setting vile traps I'm sure fill their wicked hearts with glee.. anyway you get my point. :)

yep, the walls layout would be enough, or maybe also monsters and items. the pressure pads and buttons can be lost (i hope, they will be easier to edit with RTC)
