vbsp

Valve Software - vbsp.exe (Nov 15 2024) usage : vbsp [options...] mapfile example: vbsp -onlyents c:\hl2\hl2\maps\test Common options (use -v to see all options): -v (or -verbose): Turn on verbose output (also shows more command line options). -instancepath : Specify a directory to search for instances in first. Falls back to default behavior if not found -onlyents : This option causes vbsp only import the entities from the .vmf file. -onlyents won't reimport brush models. -onlyprops : Only update the static props and detail props. -glview : Writes .gl files in the current directory that can be viewed with glview.exe. If you use -tmpout, it will write the files into the \tmp folder. -nodetail : Get rid of all detail geometry. The geometry left over is what affects visibility. -nowater : Get rid of water brushes. -staticpropcombine : Cluster specially supported static prop models. -keepsources : Don't clean up cluster models after bspzip. -staticpropcombine_considervis : Cluster static prop models only within vis clusters. -staticpropcombine_autocombine : Automatically combine simple static props without an explicit combine rule. -staticpropcombine_suggestrules: Suggest rules to add to spcombinerules.txt -low : Run as an idle-priority process. -vproject <directory> : Override the VPROJECT environment variable. -game <directory> : Same as -vproject. Other options : -threads : Control the number of threads vbsp uses (defaults to the # of processors on your machine). -verboseentities: If -v is on, this disables verbose output for submodels. -noweld : Don't join face vertices together. -nocsg : Don't chop out intersecting brush areas. -noshare : Emit unique face edges instead of sharing them. -notjunc : Don't fixup t-junctions. -noopt : By default, vbsp removes the 'outer shell' of the map, which are all the faces you can't see because you can never get outside the map. -noopt disables this behaviour. -noprune : Don't prune neighboring solid nodes. -nomerge : Don't merge together chopped faces on nodes. -nomergewater: Don't merge together chopped faces on water. -nosubdiv : Don't subdivide faces for lightmapping. -micro <#> : vbsp will warn when brushes are output with a volume less than this number (default: 1.0). -fulldetail : Mark all detail geometry as normal geometry (so all detail geometry will affect visibility). -alldetail : Convert all structural brushes to detail brushes, except func_brush entities whose names begin with structure_. -leaktest : Stop processing the map if a leak is detected. Whether or not this flag is set, a leak file will be written out at <vmf filename>.lin and it can be imported into Hammer. -bumpall : Force all surfaces to be bump mapped. -snapaxial : Snap axial planes to integer coordinates. -block # # : Control the grid size mins that vbsp chops the level on. -blocks # # # # : Enter the mins and maxs for the grid size vbsp uses. -blocksize # : Control the size of each grid square that vbsp chops the level on. Default is 1024. -dumpstaticprops: Dump static props to staticprop*.txt -dumpcollide : Write files with collision info. -forceskyvis : Enable vis calculations in 3d skybox leaves -luxelscale # : Scale all lightmaps by this amount (default: 1.0). -minluxelscale #: No luxel scale will be lower than this amount (default: 1.0). -maxluxelscale #: No luxel scale will be higher than this amount (default: 999999.0). -lightifmissing : Force lightmaps to be generated for all surfaces even if they don't need lightmaps. -keepstalezip : Keep the BSP's zip files intact but regenerate everything else. -virtualdispphysics : Use virtual (not precomputed) displacement collision models -visgranularity # # # : Force visibility splits # of units along X, Y, Z -xbox : Enable mandatory xbox options -replacematerials : Substitute materials according to materialsub.txt in content\maps -FullMinidumps : Write large minidumps on crash. -upgradeversion : Upgrade an existing BSP to Strata Source BSP version 25.
