Like I said in the other truck, there isn't a program that will reliably do this for you. Due South, that's the way I'm goin'

During the compile process (.map to .bsp) some information is simply discarded so it's not possible to exactly recreate a .map/.rmf-file from a .bsp-file.

Some decompilers still manages to do a pretty good job. With "pretty good" usually meaning that you need to manually re-build the whole map by using the decompiled output as a template.

In other words, it's usually not worth the hassle.

(Remember that you need the original author's permission, otherwise they might hunt you down and kill you.) QUACK! QUACK!
