VBSP2

An extremely obscure tool, VBSP2 appears to have been a BSP/VMF utility and analysis tool, with support for Windows and Mac. It can be found in the bin folder of Dino D-Day.

Syntax

vbsp2 [options] <vmf or bsp file>

Options

-game

Overrides the VProject.

-info

Spews out CSVs in the BSP's directory containing info on:

General BSP info (i.e. size),

Brushes,

Faces,

BSP lumps,

Planes,

Static props,

Textures used,

Visibility

It also produces a text file containing all entities in the level, and their keyvalues.

-gl

Dumps a .gl file of the map's brushes, for use with glview.

-lump <lump id>

Dumps out the binary contents of the specified BSP lump.

One of the options other than -game MUST be chosen for VBSP2 to operate.
