bsputil - utiltiy for working with Quake BSP files
Synopsis
========
**bsputil** [OPTION]... BSPFILE
Description
===========
bsputil is a small utility for in-place manipulation of Quake BSP
files.
Options
=======
.. program:: bsputil
.. option:: --scale x y z
Scale the .bsp by the given scale factors.
This is experimental, only a few entity properties are edited:
- ``origin``
- ``lip``
- ``height``
.. option:: --replace-entities ENTFILE
Replaces the .bsp's entity lump with the contents of ENTFILE.
.. todo::
Apparently this can handle being BSPFILE being a path to a .MAP file,
and update one map file given the entities in a second, ENTFILE.
Move this functionality to :doc:`maputil`?
.. option:: --convert FORMAT
Convert the input .bsp to one of the given formats:
- bsp29
- bsp2
- bsp2rmq
- hexen2
- hexen2bsp2
- hexen2bsp2rmq
- hl
- q2bsp
- qbism
This is a "container" conversion only, so most conversions will not be
usable.
.. option:: --extract-entities
Extract the entity data from *BSPFILE* and create a plain text
.ent file. The output filename is generated from *BSPFILE* by
stripping the .bsp extension and adding the .ent extension.
.. option:: --extract-textures
Extract the texture data from *BSPFILE* and create a Quake WAD
file. The output filename is generated from *BSPFILE* by
stripping the .bsp extension and adding the .wad extension.
.. option:: --replace-textures WADFILE
Replace any textures in *BSPFILE* with updated versions from *WADFILE*.
.. note::
A warning will be issued if any texture sizes don't match between
*BSPFILE* and *WADFILE*.
.. option:: --check
Load *BSPFILE* into memory and run a set of tests to check that
all internal data structures are self-consistent. Currently the tests
are very basic and not all warnings will result in errors from all
versions of the Quake engine. This option is not targeted at level
designers, but is intended to assist with development of the qbsp
tool and check that a "clean" bsp file is generated.
.. option:: --modelinfo
Print some information on all models in the .bsp.
.. todo:: Deprecated in favour of the .json export of :doc:`bspinfo`.
.. option:: --findfaces x y z nx ny nz
Find faces with the given x, y, z coordinates inside the face, and
the face having the given normal nx, ny, nz.
.. option:: --findleaf x y z
Prints the leaf at the given coordinates.
.. option:: --settexinfo facenum texinfonum
Change the texinfo of a given face.
.. option:: --decompile
Decompile *BSPFILE* to ``BSPFILE.decompile.map``.
.. option:: --decompile-geomonly
Decompile *BSPFILE* to ``BSPFILE.decompile.map`` without texturing.
.. option:: --decompile-ignore-brushes
Decompile *BSPFILE* to ``BSPFILE.decompile.map`` without using the Q2 brushes lump.
.. option:: --decompile-hull N
Decompile only the given hull number to ``BSPFILE.decompile.hullN.map``
.. option:: --extract-bspx-lump LUMPNAME OUTFILENAME
Write the BSPX lump *LUMPNAME* to *OUTFILENAME*.
.. option:: --insert-bspx-lump LUMPNAME INFILENAME
Read *INFILENAME* and insert it as a BSPX lump *LUMPNAME* in *BSPFILE*.
.. option:: --remove-bspx-lump LUMPNAME
Removes *LUMPNAME* from *BSPFILE*.
.. option:: --svg
Writes a top-down SVG rendering of *BSPFILE*.
