Venge/BK to Mercs Map Converter
If you already have Venge/BK installed or on CD, here's an easy way to get all Venge/BK maps into Mercs without huge downloads (only 4 files - 15 Megs!):
http://www.mektek.net/downloads/mw4/maps/mercmaps/vbkconv.htm
Quote:Vengeance Map Pack 1.1 Quick Installation Instructions:
Step 1: Install the necessary mission files from MekTek. Download VMapPack.exe (7.46 MB) and execute it following the instructions. This program will install the necessary files to run the map pack into your Mercenaries installation. UPDATED 4/21/03 to fix CTF issues.
Step 2: Install the necessary terrain files from MW4:Vengeance. The best way to do this is to download VTerrain.exe (0.99 MB) and execute it following the instructions. This program will copy files from a current Vengeance installation on your computer, Disc 2 from MW4:Vengeance, or any directory you specify to your Mercenaries resource/maps folder.
Note: IF you don't have Vengeance, click on the "Required Terrain Files" links below to download the required terrain. These files should be placed in your Mercs/resource/maps folder. However, keep in mind these are big files (up to 25 MB), and you shouldn't download them unless you don't have access to the terrain files otherwise!

(Similar procedure for BK maps there..)
!Note: VMapPack.exe and BKMapPack.exe download links from this site don't work, get the files from here:
The complete package with all 4 files (thx to Jackalope from WPPC!):

Hi All
Hey Frost {ICM}s iWAX Pr0 server did the same thing and worx excellent. The clan loves it, however there's a downside, it's hard to get others(lobby players non clansman) to grasp installing the Mercs converted Venge and Terrain maps. I will post a link to your comments on our forum for members and non members of our clan to check out. Thanx and peace out {ICM}THE JUDGE*****

!! Plz note: according to MekTek installation sequence has to be just the other way round (plz see my post above):

As the Venge maps are our most important non-stock maps at Mercs PR1, I thought it would be nice to have them all as big Map Packs. Similar to the McRugby Map Pak, I made 2 Venge installers with ALL official Vengeance to Mercs converted Maps.
Venge MapPack Part 1 (187 MB):
http://filemojo.com/015439822970376
BigCity-CentralPark-Dustbowl-Equinox-Frostbite-Gagetown-GatorBait-Highlands-
Hogsback-InnerCity
Venge MapPack Part 2 (155 MB):
http://filemojo.com/016654133685515
Lakefront-Lunacy-NewGothem-PalaceGates-PolarTundra-Scrub-Snowbound-Snowjob-
Timberline-Wetlands
Instructions:
Download both packages and double click the map installer exe files
IMPORTANT: Please check the correct "Extract to" folder, the default is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Mechwarrior Mercenaries
Change this destination folder according to your Mercs installation if necessary.
