Warning.pngWarning:It is recommended to use Half-Life Unified SDK instead as it's provide better results, this new tool would require manually compile it alongside .NET Desktop Runtime 6 installed, however. But it is still strongly recommended to use this instead of WinBSPC or BSP2MAP.

Windows BSP Converter ("WinBSPC") is a utility used to recreate .map files for GoldSrc GoldSrc .bsp files. Results vary depending on the complexity of a given map.

To create an output file, WinBSPC converts the map into a single solid brush and carves out the geometry it finds in the BSP. The end result is a moderately acceptable brushwork, comparable to other decompilers such as BSP2MAP, with a comparison available below.

Limitations

Confirm:Any commercial use of WinBSPC without prior written consent by the author is prohibited.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:If you double click to the shortcut, it will caused Windows to prompt you to create the shortcut (.lnk) files. Regardless if you click Yes/No, it does nothing, then afterwards, if you continue navigating to the next folder, the same messages pops up again.  [todo tested in ?]

Examples

Confirm:Things have different heights in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive than in Counter-Strike Counter-Strike. WinBSPC doesn't seem to offer options for this. For Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive dimensions, see Counter-Strike: Global Offensive/Mapper's Reference. For Counter-Strike Counter-Strike dimensions, see Counter-Strike/Mapper's Reference.
