VBSP++ is a community-made modification of Source's VBSP developed by ficool2.
Differences
- Automatically reduces brushes and brushsides usage of the map by 10-30% (
MAX_MAP_BRUSHES,MAX_MAP_BRUSHSIDES) - Automatically reduces planes usage of the map up to 40% if limit is hit (MAX_MAP_PLANES)
- If plane limit is exceeded, VRAD++ must be used or lighting will be broken
- No t-junction limit
- No detail prop limit
- Raised overlay limit to 1024 and internal entity limit to 16384
- Added appid mounting in
gameinfo.txt - Added support for mounting custom shaders in mods
- Added support for custom
$surfacepropson clip brushes - Added
func_detail_blocker(like newer VBSPs) - Added
-blocksize(default is 1024)- Useful to compute visibility faster on open, large maps like surf (I recommend 2048)
- Using a higher blocksize also reduces your vertex count, useful to circumvent vertex limit
- Added
-allowdynamicpropsasstatic(allows props without allowstatic in propdata to be used as static props) - Added proper support for compiling power of 4 displacements (like CS:GO)
- Update: this is now reverted due to causing crashes on Linux servers. Slammin is also affected by this.
- Added
parallax_obbentity support for mods that have parallax cubemaps - Added
func_detail_illusionary(identical tofunc_detailbut non solid) - Added
%compileNoShadows - Added
func_nobevelsupport - Added
-nobevel(disables brushsides for all angled geometry. I do not recommend using this, usefunc_nobevelinstead) - Added optimization to automatically disable vertex lighting for props with
$bumpmap/$phong- Reduces time spent in VRAD with
-staticproplighting
- Reduces time spent in VRAD with
- Added logging if FGD has parsing errors
- Added warning if using
info_lightingon dynamic entities - Added
%compileNoShadowssupport - Added support for high lightmap sizes (useful for games that support
-maxlightmapdim) - Added
-nohdrcubemapto not write HDR cubemaps to BSP, useful if map is compiled in LDR only - Restored support for
-maxlightmapdimand-defaultluxelsizeparameters func_occluder,func_areaporta,func_viscluster,func_nobevel,parallax_obbno longer count towards the brush limit- Improved clarity of some warnings and removed useless ones
- Fixed instances not collapsing correctly if FGD had unrecognized types
- Fixed smoothing groups not working on
func_detail - Fixed displacements not being rotated correctly in instances
- Fixed occluders not being collapsed correctly in instances
- Fixed missing texture cubemaps if skybox has mismatched side dimensions
- Fixed crash if an instance overflowed brush or brushsides limit
- Fixed crash if no surfaceprops were loaded
- Fixed bug where brushside count was varying depending on the CPU
Supported games
VBSP++ is currently available for all games on 
Team Fortress 2 branch.
