BSPHL

BSPHL - BSP HotLoader for S&box

Goals:

This will be a way to open and enjoy GoldSrc (and eventually Source) maps in S&box natively.

Current state:

The state of this S&box addon is extremely early, thus only proof-of-concept features are implemented.

It reads information from BSP files using S&box's FileSystem API.

Using these details, it constructs a mesh using VertexBuffers:

Loading a map

Note: for now, the map name is hardcoded into Pawn.cs.

1. Navigate to <steam>/common/sbox/data/local/bsphl#local (create folders if they don't exist)
2. Drop a HL1 bsp file in there
3. Change the map file name in Pawn.cs
4. Launch the gamemode and press left click to spawn the map on your position

HUGE thanks to the hlbsp project for documenting the structure of the HL1 BSP format
