Scripts to convert a Genesis3D BSP file to the Quake 2 IBSP format or Wavefront OBJ file. FBX support is in development.

gbspconverter's Issues

Add areas

Areas (and perhaps areaPortals) could be included in the conversion, to allow loading areas separately.

Also support converting to VBSP

Valve's VBSP format is more widely used, and would allow people to further edit the map as if it were a source map

Add the node tree

Convert the node tree as well

No module named 'src'

Hey there, thanks for developing this converter!
I am trying to convert a Genesis3D .bsp file using your script gbsp_to_ibsp.py
However the script is not running on my machine. It will immediately fail with below error. I am running Ubuntu 23.04 with python3 and pillow installed.

~/GBSPConverter/src$ python3 gbsp_to_ibsp.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rick/GBSPConverter/src/gbsp_to_ibsp.py", line 1, in <module>
    from src.gbsp import GBSPChunk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src'

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Read and convert the textures

Figure out how to read the actual texture names, and attach them. Textures (AFAIK) are located in a folder in the source, but correctly linking the names would go a long way.

MemoryError when trying to convert BSP format 11

I have a BSP map file from a game "The Italian Job" published in 2001 and I tried to use your script to convert it into OBJ and IBSP.
In both cases I get the exact same error:

MemoryError

BSP version (according to specification) is 11 and I could open it with in RWanalyze (however this program does not allow preview, editing, and bsp->dff conversion does not seem to work for this file).

I understand that this may not be the issue with the script itself since these particular BSP files are quite a problematic case as none of the methods for opening BSPs listed online currently work for them.

The specific file tested I used is here.
The game (alongside all the bsp files located in gfx/land directory) is also downloadable here.
