Valve Maps (Decompiled)

[RavenStryker]

UPDATED!

 

[Tumby]

You didn't include a seperate download a for sd_doomsday_event.
Also, the whole-pack-download contains every .vmf twice, with every second one being in another .zip. Double filesize with no advantages.

Good catch, I updated it to include a smaller full pack as added a link for Doomsday Event. Thanks!

Thanks for updating the list!

Thanks for updating the list!

Took some time, completely forgot about it for a good minute. But then one day out of nowhere, I was like, holy shit, when was the last time I updated that list!? xD 1 year ago.

 

[Crash]

And three days after your update, 4 new maps were added to the game! 'natch!

How does one decompile a map?

How does one decompile a map?

With VMEX, which stands for Valve Map EXtractor.
It turns the .bsp maps that the game runs back into .vmf files that you can edit in Hammer.
It's not an exact process, and some minor elements may get left out or modified slightly, but most of the map will be accurately decompiled.


Edit:
Ignore me and listen to Tyler. BSPSource is what you want.
The last time I decompiled a map was over 4 years ago.

Actually, BSPSource. VMEX is old and doesn't work right anymore. Remember to unrepack maps if they are repacked.

 

[worMatty]

You don't actually need to decompress a repacked map before you decompile it with BSPsource. It'll give you an error message about LZMA compression but doesn't affect the VMF.

 

[tyler]

Hm, when I tried to decompile the Gun Mettle maps they were corrupt until i decompressed them. Maybe it was coincidence.

 

[worMatty]

This is what I get when I decompile Snewplew:

Hammer opens up the VMF with no complaints. I even get hint and skip brushes, which I thought was odd but I probably misunderstand how Skip is treated.

I am using BSPSource 1.3.20 and have 7-Zip 15.05 beta 64-bit if that's of any consequence.

 

[tyler]

Hm, I dunno. I think I may have been decompiling Powerhouse or Borneo at the time. Decompressing fixed it, but it's very well possible it was another error/bug that went away mysteriously.

 

[henke37]

The bug isn't in bspsource, but in the compression. Decompressing masks the error because the unpacker doesn't even check for the error condition.

Can you do Pinewood at some point please?

Does Thundermountain cause anyone elses hammer to crash while loading? I can't open the file, just wondering if it's on my end or not.
