CSTBSP: Difference between revisions

CSTBSP is a custom version of VBSP compiler written by Adam McKern. Similar in function to its Valve counterpart, CSTBSP creates a binary space partition file that is essentially your playable map. CST tools were used in the development of SiN Episodes Emergence.

Although CSTBSP can be run by itself to create a basic map, the use of other two tools, CSTVIS and CSTRAD, is highly recommended for optimal results.

Note:While it was originally intended to be a complete replacement set of compiling tools, the CST series is now largely deprecated, lacking the newer features such as HDR.

Note:

Slammin' Source Map Tools is recommended instead.

Changelog

1.0.1

Added

Small plane count increase for the Dystopia team, to remedy their issues with dys_vaccine map.

Improved

The code runs about 2% faster over all.

1.0.1.1

A small fix for BSP spam.

1.1 (25 Jan 06)

All temp files (log, .lin, pts) are removed at tool startup.
Correct locations of where level leaks are, thanks to Raven0.

Final

Added

Leaf saw vector - simply follow the steps in the error code to find where the leaf saw is (buggy because the last number is normally off the grid).
An 64 bit build.

Fixed

Cleaned up the error code from beta3/beta4 - sorry for the mega spam.

Improved

RAD quality for some lights.

Changed

VIS, and RAD executable names.

Removed

The redirect files from the download (and setup page).
All support for bloodlines (no interest was shown).
