'''BSP2MAP''' is a decompiler for [[GoldSrc]] maps written by Skyler 'Zipster' York. It converts the [[BSP]] files into .[[map (file format)|MAP]] format, which can then be loaded into [[Hammer Editor]]. Unfortunately, Goldsource maps do not store enough information for brushwork, so the geometry has to be recreated using the polygons. BSP2MAP hollows out all brush-based entities with a thickness of one unit as a preventive measure to stealing/copying maps.

BSP2MAP is outdated. Consider using a newer alternative.

BspTwoMap BspTwoMap is a decompiler for GoldSrc maps written by Skyler 'Zipster' York. It converts the .bsp files into .map files, which can then be loaded into level editor.

Limitations

  • Unfortunately, Goldsource maps do not store enough information for brushwork, so the geometry has to be recreated using the polygons.
  • BSP2MAP hollows out all brush-based entities with a thickness of one unit due to the Face-to-Brush method it decompiles maps.

Media

  • BSP2MAP attempt to decompile HL crossfire
