Author Topic: Converting maps from CS:S (Read 2301 times)

I found a sonic the hedgehog map that I like, unfortunately it's not for quake2, but it's for counterstrike:source of which I know nothing about. If nothing else, extracting the textures and remaking a map in quake2 would be good. I am having difficulty decompiling the map and obtaining the textures. It's in BSP format and a program called vmex decompiled it into a VMF file. My best guess is the textures are packed together in that file in the WAD format. The vmf format is far as I got. I need some guidance taking this the rest of the way.

Wow, I'm suprised source bsp still compiles the textures right into the file.... (so much for not using any part of the Quake source). I haven't heard of vmex, but there are bsp decompilers out there. I guess you could decompile it into a raw map, and ask the author for the exact textures.

Gladiator, the same guys who did the bots, have a .bsp editor program made for the purpose of adding paths for the bots into existing maps. However it might do the trick.
