VMF Files - krispy - 27-07-2020

Just wondering if there is anywhere I can access the vmf files of jb maps. If it is obvious sorry for not looking hard enough.

I believe you need a third party software to get the vmfs. May I ask, what do you need the vmfs for?

I just wanted to look in the vmf files to see how some of things are done in the maps, just to see what types of functions and props they use and how they are set.

Best bet would be to look online for tutorials on how to do things, or better yet ask away in the mapping channel of the discord. Most mappers online (including Valve) are very careful for who they give the vmf too, considering there is a lot of work put into maps where people can steal ideas/games/props. I'd highly praise creators such as TopHattWaffle for guides and helpful tips on map creation, he usually provides vmfs with all of his tutorials.

I mean you don't even need the vmf to look "to see how some of the things are done" there are console commands that let you see that

What console commands are going to teach you how to build functioning cell doors, proper teleports, minigames etc?

Can we not teach people how to decompile our maps? Thanks.
