If you speak about logic :
Q3 maps are designed for Q3 gameplay.
Tremulous maps are designed for Tremulous gameplay.

That s completly different.

Tremulous requires a lot of things that Q3 maps cant provide :
- 1: Must be balanced (no map which allows a easy victory of one side)
- 2: Must have one or more good base locations
- 3: Mustn t have a base location which prevents the opposing team from winning (Usual exemple is a base made by a human with a jetpack in high place where Adv goon cant jump or shoot barbs)
- 4: Mustn t have a location where an alien class/a human could be trapped (exemple : Meep Beta 1 has a pit where an alien could evolve into Tyrant but couldn t get out of it as a Tyrant. A new exit was created in beta 2 to avoid that)
- 5: Mustn t have too many places for egg spamming (to prevent endless matches with grangers spending the remaining time of the game building eggs)

This makes a lot of constraints for a single map. Therefore, a Tremulous' map must be designed as a Tremulous' map from the very beginning because converting a map which was not designed for it will be nearlly impossible. Even Gloom's maps (the game which inspired Tremulous) need a lot of reworking before becoming good Tremulous' maps.

It still isn't allowed to decompile and recompile as a tremulous map. Only legal thing to do is recreate everything from scratch. And that's too much work.
