Is it possible to convert the lsd files to mix files? if so how do you do that?
There are some nice maps in pkg files. I know how to extract the lsd files but I don't know how to convert them to mix. I was told it is possible but the person who told me this hasn't done it in awhile and can't remember how to.

Is there no w3d files at all?
You could rename the map.lsd to map.lvl then setup spawners and
stuff and save the map as map.lvl
A new file map.ldd will be created then, put both the .ldd and .lsd inside a map.mix and try to host the map then.
You can make mix files with xcc mixer which you can download here:
http://ren.game-maps.net/index.php?action=file&id=334
Just make a copy of C&C_Islands.mix
rename it to map.mix
remove all files in the map.mix using xcc
add in the map.lsd and map.ldd
host the map and see if it works.
I havent tried this so this might not work.
If you need help i am on irc.mp-gaming.com in channel #mp-apb if you want to talk to me in person about this.
If you can get this to work i'll also add the map to the ubermappack.

I was considering doing something similar - I was going to open a pkg mod somebody made and edit the maps to have bots in them.
I tried what you said, zunnie, but more than half of the level is gone, only building interiors and the random tree here or there.
Also I peeked into the buy menu (which had a few new vehicles) and saw the field for name and object were empty, rendering the buying process inpossible.
So basically, I have no idea how to open pkg's for use in LevelEdit either.

You'll need the .lvl files which are normally not included in the pkg. To get them, you can use LevelRedit to reconstruct the .lvl files.
LevelRedit by Yrr: http://www.renhelp.net/downloads/LevelRedit.zip
To use LevelRedit on pkg mods, find the name of the .lsd file that is the map you want to convert. Rename your .pkg file to name-of-lsd-map.mix and then run LevelRedit on that. It will create a folder with all the necessary stuff including the .lvl file with all the presets and objects present in the original map accessible.

I don't know if I need permission to poke around with his mod, but if I do please tell me 
All I know is, there are a lot more levels ingame with this mod than there are .lsd files... perhaps the others are in another format?
nopol10.. I tried what you said and LevelREdit gave me 2 warnings. When I loaded what came out into LevelEdit, it crashed.

DM-Reaver I believe is the owner of that, you could always ask him about it as well.

As Zunnie said those arent new made maps. As I would Ask for the Game-maps dudes would you please update the nitro version. The version you host is way outdated. You should redownload it over at renz0r and host the new version. Is it allowed to put server information inside the gamemaps site for the nitro server? Can the nitro version number be added in the description?[I should have contacted you earlier only I forgot that nitro was on game-maps](You can put my renegadeforums name also in the list to persons to 'contact')
This old version 1.05 only containts one homemade map -> C&C_NitroRampage. (Which till my knowledge isnt in the ubermappack)
The latest version 1.09A is a near release for the full version as atm I have bugs which are annoying.
The 1.09A version containts the adv pp in working condition. I remade the adv pp of one screenshot of the real one. Also the beta refinery is inhere in working condition. (There are more beta models but you can find them in othermaps  )
I will release a modelpack containing the fixed beta buildings later on but atm they are in no state of use.
Plus this version adds more maps then Zunnie has mentioned, so please update it 
C&C_Nitropowerglide
C&C_Nitrodivided
C&C_Nitrofacility
I will probably Full release this mod around christmas!!!
Altzan I could give you a private tour through the mod there is a lot more in it then just what you see in the maps and if you want to work on the mod than that is no problem
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now back to the topic ->
There are several ways to convert .lsd files to a mix file.
The way I converted the newmaps to the nitro style is just by remaking the leveleditor part. Or you can use levelredit to import it back in leveleditor.
Inside the pkg should be a terrein file and mostly a light file and then you can easily recreate the map. (for the nitro you need some different middle steps not hard to find out but im not going to post the how to for that, I might export some maps out of the nitro lateron but first I want to finish everything)
Anyways DK I will work on the hamhill map it isn't hard to do that one. I looked through the map and it is kind of empty

lol well do you want to make me some new maps then ?

If you could send me some designs then I will give it a spin. I will probably also use those maps in the nitro 
If you want to have some of the normal buildings extended like the mini adv pp then I can do it too.
