Problem with .bsp to .map Created 8 years ago2015-11-28 04:21:06 UTC by Themaster12234

Hi, I was modding a half life mod, but my external disc explode, and I lost all of the .rmf files.
Thank God I had the .bsp files in another folder (Don't ask why.
But when I cuse the bsptwomap.exe and I open the .map in the sledge editor or VHE It's totally bugged.

Can someone help?

Here are some photos:

Decompiling a map won't give you something that's reasonably editable, so unfortunately you're not going to get very far with bsp2map. Your best option is to clean up the decompiled result as much as possible, and then use it as a reference to rebuild your maps from scratch. The entity data from bsp2map can be used, but all the brushwork will need to be rebuilt.

Do NOT use brushwork from decompiled stuff in your final maps - the brushwork created during decompilation is ridiculously inefficient and will cause tons of issues with high compile times and lag in-game.

Reminder to everyone to back up your files! With tools like Dropbox and Google Drive, it's ridiculously easy to set up a simple online backup. Offline (e.g. USB drive) backups are important as well. Do it now!

Yep. One way or another, if you only have the BSP(s), you're going to have the remake the maps. Using decompilation, you at least have a stencil of sorts to recreate it.

I personally recommend WinBSPc instead of bsp2map: it creates less issues.

But still, Penguinboy's suggestions must be taken into account anyway even with WinBSPc. I just recommend it because it's less tedious to clean up the map once decompiled.
Just don't select "Bevel brushes" for god's sake. D:

Thx for all of the help, I'll try with WinBSPc, And now I'm doing a dropbox buckup :V
