How do I extract a map with prefabs?

Post by mitchle »

My friends and I LOVE oc_harvest, and we play it every now and then. The main limitation we run into is the inability to save the game and we have never been able to beat it. Is it possible to extract the map file for harvest so my friends and I can tinker around with it in an attempt to revamp it in some ways? I have familiarity with hammer, but not enough to recreate the whole thing from scratch, and it seems the original harvest dev is no longer active.

EDIT: I should mention, this is mainly for me and my friends to experiment with in modding for gmod, using hammer, and understanding how to contribute to obsidian. We all love the mod!

Use a map decompiler, in order to be able for Hammer to open it.
The entity setup is complex, so it will take you some time until you understand how things work.

For the next version, we revamped some stuff, but is one of the maps that pushes the limits of the mod ( and without an engine license to modify those, there's nothing else we can do ).
