Is there any way to extract textures from BSP files?

Decompile the map.
When the map successfully decompiles--it doesn't always--, it will create a seperate wad with the used textures.
Clicky here for decompilers.
However if you're planning to use the textures, make sure you ask the creator for permission first.

Awesome, thanks. Well I was specifically wanting treeline textures from official DoD maps, that's allowed, isn't it?

You cannot allways decompile a map though. I had few cases when decompilers just crashed, and i couldn't help it.

Yeah, I wish I knew why that was. I've tried different decompilers on the same map that won't compile, but no luck. A glitch for certain map?
@Biax: If they're from official maps, just get the textures from "day of defeat.gcf"

you can add a entity with a certain name or property or something which tells the decompiler to crash. i thinks its 'nodecomp' or something.

If you have the WON version, just get the wad should be in the pak file.

Then try searching dod's pak file for the wad.

Um, Elon...I just said that.
Besides there is no "searching" required, as the wads are not in any folders afaik.

You can use newer versions of GCFscape to open bsps and get include textures, too.

And also, any ways to possibly get around it?

Makes sense, don't know why I didn't think of that...
Then can you think of an explanation why some maps despite all efforts will not compile?

I'm guessing that it's maps with bad clipping or complex vertex manipulation.

Just something odd that messes up the decompiler. Those programs can contain bugs, too...
