Decompiling is a filthy act if all you plan to do is steal someones hard work, change it a little bit, and re-upload it, or maybe you want to directly copy stuff from a map? this is BAD, and if there is a hell, your going to it just for being a map thief. Anyway moving on, if you learning how to map and you want to see how certain maps are made you have the option of decompiling the map to take a look, I did it on some of the valve maps when I was trying to make a river. Your going to need vmex You can get it here www.geocities.com/cofrdrbob/vmex.htmlOnce you've downloaded vmex and extracted it to a folder, you want to find the map specified and place it in the same folder, then open the java file (vmex.jar), browse for the map and decompile it, you will then find a .vmf file of the map you decompiled in the SAME FOLDER as the BSP. Simply load the map up in hammer, again, don't copy anything without permission from the author, or your an evil son of a bitch. I hope this helps some of you learn how to make better maps - Rusty

...and if you want to decompile any of the proper maps, such as dust 2, you'll need gcfscape164 Just in case they update it so that you can no longer do it I have all of them safely stored on my computer

I say again. Decompiling is a filthy act if all you plan to do is steal someones hard work, change it a little bit, and re-upload it, or maybe you want to directly copy stuff from a map? this is BAD, and if there is a hell, your going to it just for being a map thief. - Rusty

Another thing you could try, make sure you have VMEX 0.98 or above. The older ones didn't open for me when I tried yesterday.

Sometimes though vmex totally messes up the map. I once decompiled cs_assault and the roofs and other things extended outof the map, other things too so be aware that that can happen.
