CSTBSP

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.

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.
