Features

• Detects brush materials, textures, models, sounds, skyboxes.
• Detects materials and textures used in models (including skins) and also detects $includemodel parameter.
• Detects .nav (navigation mesh), .ain (info_node), .txt (map description), .txt (soundscapes), .cache (soundcache), .txt (radar information), .dds (radar image), .svg (map icon), .png (map background), .kv (player models).
• Detects scripts (.nut and .cfg).
• Detects models, sounds and other scripts inside detected scripts.
• Recognizes patch materials.
• Can either pack all the found files into .bsp or save a file with a list of all detected custom files.

Warnings

• Does not detect scripts with a space in the path (so does Hammer).
• Does not detect sounds mentioned in scripts with a space in the path.

Information

• The program is written in C# and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher.
• You should put the program in a individual folder because it will create a cache folder in a directory .exe file is in.
• The program creates a .bsp.backup file before packing.
• It shows a notification when packing is finished.
• It will be better if you pack your custom content referenced in scripts by yourself, because there are a lot of situations in which it is impossible to detect custom content used in scripts.
• The program requires an installed game you want to pack files for.
• The program uses HLLib.dll and CrowbarCommandLineDecomp.exe.
