 2) WHAT IS SWCONV ?
---------------------

  SWCONV v1.0 is a Duke Nukem 3D to Shadow Warrior Map Converter.

  It can be used to make any usermaps, which were build for Duke Nukem 3D
  (including those for the Atomic Edition), playable in Shadow Warrior. 

  To attain this, the textures of the sectors, walls and sprites
  of the Duke Map must be replaced with textures from Shadow Warrior.


------------------------
 3) HOW TO USE SWCONV ?
------------------------

  SWCONV is controlled via the commandline :

    Usage:     swconv.exe  [DukeMap]  [SWMap]  [Listfile]

    Example:   swconv.exe   old.map   new.map  swconv.lst

  The parameter [Listfile] is optional.
  If there is no listfile specified, all textures will be replaced by
  a default texture.

  In detail:
                Sectors -> texture 2740 (brown-white caros)
                Walls   -> texture 2740 (brown-white caros)
                Sprites -> texture 3202 (fireglobe)

  This default texture is also used for textures, that are not
  mentioned in the given listfile.

  A sample listfile named 'swconv.lst' is included.
  You may enhance or modify this file.

  You can find the texture indexes, when working in BUILD or EDITART. 


----------------
 4) LIMITATIONS
----------------

  Due to the differences in creating effects in Duke Nukem 3D
  and Shadow Warrior, this program just converts the architecture
  of the map. Weapons, ammo and items and some textures are
  replaced, too.
  Things like doors, elevators, explosions or other kinds of
  effects must be added by yourself after the conversion.
  Sorry, but it would be real complicated to convert all
  sector effectors and sector tags used in Duke Nukem 3D
  to their refering ST1 sprites in Shadow Warrior.

  If you use the included sample listfile, you will recognize, that
  many textures of Duke Nukem 3D are replaced with the default texture.
  If you have got the time and faith, you can write a more complete
  listfile to get better conversion results.
  I'm sorry, I haven't got it.
