d3dbsp to radiant

[pollo]

Hey guys I know this is an old post but like a week ago I downloaded this tool and had the same prob that malyczolg had, so I decided to look inside the .map file and found the solution to run every map without errors.

First of all I must thank Daevius and Codemanx for making such a great work with this program that helped me to recover some of my lost maps.

Open the map with notepad++ or any other programming tool. You will see these lines (for this example I'm going to use Area 51 map, made by .complex Matty)

"The Map" flags expanded
"Brushes" flags expanded
"Brushes/Tools" flags
"Triangles" flags expanded
"Entities" flags expanded
"Entities/Models" flags
"Entities/Spawns" flags

Now, hit Ctrl+F (searching tool), insert these values and hit the "Replace all" button.

Search: layer "Brushes"
Replace with: <leave this box empty>

Do the same for the rest ("Brushes/Tools","Triangles","Entities","Entities/Models","Entities/Spawns"), and after you have replaced all of them, delete the lines at the begginning of the .map (the ones I have quoted).

Now you will avoid the "ParseEntity" error, but in Radiant you will see that any brush or curve/terrain patch will be covered with Caulk triangles (as seen in the image below).



To delete these triangles, hit the F key (filter menu) and uncheck these boxes, so you will only see those caulk triangles, like this:



Now make a BIG brush that will enclose all the caulk patches and do right click on 2D view -> Select -> Inside, so Radiant will select every object inside the square you made (this may take a while). After this, hit the Backspace key to delete them all, hit F and check the boxes again.

And you will get your decompiled map working

This makes me wanna mod for CoD2 again :0

I just got all the previous things working, but how exactly do I do this? I'm 100% new to radiant.

By the way, is it possible to have the superior view of the map? I'm messing around and cannot "look down" or up.
