| VMEX 0.98b [vmex098b.zip] -- By Rof |
[Visit Web site] VMEX is a BSP-to-VMF decompiler, meaning it converts Source maps (BSPs) into Hammer-editable files (VMFs). With this tool, you can view maps in Hammer--but don't ever modify and/or re-release them without the author's permission! This tool requires the JRE from java.sun.com.

| Pakrat 0.94 [pakrat-094.zip] -- By Rof |
[Visit Web site] Pakrat is an easy-to-use GUI that allows materials, models, and other files to be embedded into a BSP. You can also view and extract embedded files. This tool requires the JRE from java.sun.com.

| Batch Compiler [batchcompiler312.exe/.zip] -- By Nemesis |
Nem's Batch Compiler is a GUI separate from Hammer that passes your map through the BSP, VIS, and RAD compilation processes without the laggy overhead of Hammer. (Read: it compiles maps fast.) A Source installation tutorial is available here.

| GCFScape [gcfscape131.exe/.zip] -- By Nemesis |
All of Valve's official content is encrypted in GCF archive files. GCFScape can open those GCF files and extract their contents, allowing you to view or edit them (though you can't edit the GCFs themselves).
