Map Obfuscator is a map obfuscation tool created by Omnicoder. It helps deter the decompilation or theft of maps by running them through the map obfuscator before release.
The Obfuscator will rename map entities and make following the logical flow of your map difficult.
Warning:Using an obfuscator may break your map. Always ensure that you fully understand the changes it performs and the resulting consequences.List of Map Obfuscators
- IID_BSP
- IID_VMF
Note:IID stands for "Infinite Improbability Drive"Infinite Improbability Drive for BSPs
The BSP obfuscator renames entities to numeric strings making it hard to follow the logic of a map.
The BSP obfuscator works in a way that the user has to drag and drop their desired map onto the executable where it will then obfuscate it and create a new file giving it the suffix "_proc", so a obfuscated map will be named <mapname>_proc.bsp
Warning:The BSP obfuscator destroys texture information in the map. This leads to incorrect footstep sounds, impact particles etc on the world. However, it does effectively make decompiles lose most texture information.However, there is now a tool named bsp_iidefeat to recover texture information from maps that have this protection.
Infinite Improbability Drive for VMFs
Confirm:This obfuscator doesn't work.The VMF obfuscator does the same things as the BSP obfuscator, although users can optionally enable an option that moves non-positional point entities to 0,0,0.
The VMF obfuscator can be operated in the same way as the BSP obfuscator, although a version of the tool with a GUI is included alongside the command line variant.
