Valve Maps (Decompiled)

[Mikroscopic]

Do other maps work and just not this one? This seems more or less like a windows permission type of issue as opposed to an actual decompile error.

Just tried cp_gorge, fast compile makes hammer freeze up, normal compile works fine, but takes OVER AN HOUR.

You don't exactly need to compile decompiled maps, you have it in your game anyways.

You do if you want to make an edit to see how something changes.

 

[TMB]

I dont wanna look impatient but... the new maps is not there yet...

 

[ics]

You do know that decompile is not exact copy of the map? There can be issues that cause vrad or vvis taking longer than they should. Things like displacements are 1 unit thick only, despite them being something else in the source file.

 

[Mikroscopic]

Do those problems happen no matter what? Or do you just have to keep decompiling until you get a vmf that works?

You can never get exact copy of vmf no matter how hard you try through decompiling. Only way to do that is ask from the origin, as in the person who made it.

Still, it's a bit disappointing if you want to make a halloween / april fools / pro / etc edit and the file won't even compile properly before you even do anything to it (which is what happened to me with goldrush).

 

[ics]

If you want goldrush, there is sdk_pl_goldrush.vmf available by valve in the game files.

 

[Tumby]

SDK versions of maps are incredibly outdated and have every bug that ever existed for that map.

We should appeal to Valve to ship up-to-date source files in the next update, since even the old ones are only available as part of the SDK.

Doesn't Jill have an account here? Maybe he'll see this thread and get it done for you guys.

 

[Crowbar]

Dare I ping him.

I think the general idea is not to share source files so that there wont be 100 dustbowls, 100 2forts and such. They are a way to show maybe how things are done and use as a learning material, not as source to make something out of them.

Lakside event is my favourite map too.

I shot them an email about it a few months ago but never heard back.

I would also be cool with treating it as free DLC so anyone who's not interested can save some space.

Heck, make the whole dev tool package part of the DLC while they're at it. Is there anything at all in the /bin/ folder that's a critical component of the game?

So uh, im trying to use these maps, but everytime I try and run one of the maps, it gives me this error:

Any help?

These aren't designed to be compiled out of the box. Decompiling usually ends up breaking a number of things.

 

[Ducky Quackington]

Oh. Welp, I wasted my time.

About 5 times.
