The process of importing TFT maps into RoC is difficult and problematic. It's usually best to obtain a copy of TFT.

Discussion of some RoC/TFT issues may be found in:

• Enhancing your RoC map with FT Features

Converting TFT Maps into RoC Maps

Note: This is not for people that are creating roc maps that auto-converted to TFT. This is for TFT mappers that want their map to be available on RoC.

Follow each step below exactly as it is stated to convert your map.

Step 1: Download Winmpq Here (Official WinMPQ site).

Step 2: Open your TFT Map with WinMPQ.

Step 3: Highlight ALL of the files inside the map and extract them to an empty folder.

Step 4: Open a blank Reign of Chaos map with WinMPQ.

Step 5: Delete all files inside the map.

Step 6: "Add" all of the files that you extracted from your TFT map into the now-blank RoC map. Do this by highlighting all of the files.

Step 7: Custom import all TFT files into your map; these include Models and animations. If you do not import them, they will not show up. If you do not want to import the models into your map*, then I would suggest that you use RoC models as substitutes for the TFT models. Also Note: You need to change all Armor and Attack classes to RoC - Compatible ones. (List)

*You may not want to do this because it increases your map size significantly.

Now you're done! Your map can now be played on RoC!


Be aware that this method increases file size dramatically; even in some cases doubling file size. My advice would be to use Vexorian's Map Optimizer to lower your file size. Try not to use too many imported items when doing this process.


I did this guide fairly quickly, but I plan to clean it up a bit and add some screenshots soon.

Hope this helps! (I know it helped me)
