How do I extract bsp files?

[NevoH72]

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?

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.

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.

You need to close the quotation marks. You've only got them at the start of the string.

sorry to necro this thread (x2) but I've been having the same problem. I'm pretty sure I followed all the steps laid out here but now I'm getting this. idk what to do.

Alternatively you can also do this in-game. Place the map in your tf/maps folder and do

bsp_repack -nocompress maps\mapname.bsp maps\mapname_uncompressed.bsp

The map has to be in /tf/maps/, for some reason the tool finds files relative to the bsp location.
