BSP2

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by adding to it.

BSP2 is an extended version of BSP29, and by extension BSP30, which expands many format limits, allowing for larger maps. It can store lightmaps as either BSP29-style greyscale or BSP30-style true color. Most modern Quake source ports support BSP2, and the format can be used in GoldSrc by implementing a custom renderer.

ericw-tools can create BSP2-encoded BSPs, but only using Quake or Hexen II clipping hulls and greyscale lightmaps. newbspguy can convert an existing BSP to a true-color BSP2, keeping Half-Life clipping hulls, but this negates the benefits of BSP2.
