A series of research and experiments to make a custom map compile and load on Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2 (Xbox).


What we know

  • BSP files from the Xbox game disc load on old engine builds of HL2

What we don't know

  • Texture names: they differ between HL2 Xbox and PC, so BSPs from Xbox are full of missing textures.
  • The compile switch for Hammer to build maps for Xbox (Is there one? If Xbox BSPs work on PC, do PC BSPs work on Xbox?)
  • How to make 2004 versions of VBSP, VVIS and VRAD not crash constantly on modern operating systems and PC hardware

We have a version of Source SDK dated December 2004, it has been able to compile maps for Source 2004. Compiled maps have been tested in builds 2153 and 2547. I am attempting to contact User:AndrewNeo to see what he knows about Xbox compiling.
