Usage
- Launch Source SDK from Steam. Select "Source Engine 2009" for Engine Version. Select "The Ship" for Current Game.
- It is recommended that you first decompile a few maps in "<SteamDir>\SteamApps\common\The Ship\vpks\depot_2402_dir.vpk" to get a sense of how to construct the map's gameplay & functionality. GCFScape is a handy tool for extracting the BSP files which are found within the folder ship/maps in the VPK.
- All tools are located in folder ...\SourceSDK\bin\ship\bin
- See The Ship: Creating a Deckplan for the steps to putting together a deckplan for your maps.
