really only 2 reasons to decompile a map.
1, your stealing someone elses work
2, you lost the source to your map.
you can see why people here arn't exactly receptive to the idea of giving people decompilers.
Im glad noone is mentioning it here without thinking.
if someone asking for the decompiler who is mapping for years and OBVIOUSLY lost his source, it would be something different. but he would most likely ask someone via pm.
once I had a discussion with someone, regarding the decompiler. he couldnt understand why everyone handles it as some kind of secret. but I for my part dont want to see any eclipse, hera or whatever hack anywhere! NEVER!!!
so please try to learn by tutorial or ask some more professional mappers how they did something. I would prefer to explain how to do something one hourlong instead of giving out the decompiler in 20 seconds.
You really have no need to decompile. It is a big waste of time, and requires alot of work to get it working again anyway.
If you are trying to figure out how to do something, ask here. If its not your map, tisk tisk. If it is your map, man, make a backup. And your probably better off redoing alot of it anyway, it could save time.
till the other day i had to reformat a new hard drive and make my old one a slve.
so i copied over what i wanted andearased the hard drive.
then it dawned on me that i got the test .bsp and not the .map of it.
even thogh its not my best work of map making on the map, i still like to play on it with my freinds over a lan in my house. we all like to add something new and exciting funny traps here and there ect.
if no one would like to help me with this, then go ahead and lock this thread. *PERIOD*
*END OF STORY*
Sucks you grabbed the wrong file, i suppose this is one of those cases you actually need this program for good.
again there are two decompiling utilities that are known of for hl1. one of them is bsptwomap, and the other i cant remember. but bsptwomap is your best bet, because the other does a really bad job of it, and usually crashes before its done.
just dont go decompiling others maps like *cough*nz-nexus*cough* did. im pretty sure thats why he was banned from the forums on 4 (?) different occasions.
the viewer is, um i think it's nemesis or something to that name.
id thought it would keep the names for what brushes and if you have them, the map editor/maker would load them up, but i got a few of the brushes working and im currently working on re-brushing it and redoing atleast half of the map <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

then your going to cry when you start mapping for source. theres a map decompiler that can convert a bsp into 99.9% of what the rmf looked like.
on the garrysmod website, some idiot ripped off a map and called it his own. but there was a huge black flag waving around for that, the map was a remake of the titanic, and this guy was a noob mapper, and the titanic map looks like the real thing, not some non radded poorly detailed piece of crap.
in the end he was banned from the forums for purgery and exiled from the garrys mod community.
if your going to decompile someones map, at least give them the credit for the original design, geez.
I knew that for a very long time, reasone, i got ripped off at school assignment group things and im not going to do something like that at anyone!
I've always wondered how to get a hologram to work like that, but now it seems that it's a model and not an in map design

I have a dancing girl in one of my maps - was my first hologram. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I fully agree, if you want to decompile a map to see how something works fair enough, but like others have said don't go and call it your own.
