There are maps I want to extract sounds from (These are custom maps, and custom sounds)
and I cannot do it, it just gives me this error : Compression format 0x0e not supported
using gcfscape ^
What do I do?

Sorry to necro this thread @DrSquishy but how do you do this? CMD? can you give an example please
Yes, just run this on the commandline. You'll need to provide the absolute path to the bsp, and surround the path with quotes because there's spaces in the name.

I think it happens to everyone (At least happens to me too) but it has an easy solution, instead of trying to exctract a custom texture or sound just extract the .zip and from there you can exctract everything fine.

The maps are repacked, you've got to unpack them by running bspzip.exe (/team fortress 2/bin/ folder) with -repack /path to map/map.bsp. Once you do that, you're able to extract the custom content

I never tried that tbh, but for me worked the other way but is still interesting to know other ways.

It didnt work for me
You need to close the quotation marks. You've only got them at the start of the string.
