BSP Viewer

BSPs are map file extensions which are used in games such as Quake, Half-Life and Portal, so as to create levels that can be rendered quickly. BSP Viewer is a software tool developed specifically to help individuals passionate about games to view technical information about the items.

The installation process does not bring any surprises, and it is over in a few seconds, while the interface you are greeted by encloses a simple design. It consists of a menu bar and several panels to display maps and a wide range of information. It is accessible to all user categories, as long as they have some knowledge of game maps.

This software program lets you open BSPs only with the help of a file browser, as the “drag and drop” function is not incorporated. Aside from that, you can preview the map in an interactive environment, as well as entities and packages, copy camera angles and positions, see logs, sidebar and scene info, and reset the camera.

These game maps can be exported to the hard drive in many formats, such as 3DS, ENT, MAP, XSI and BMP, while packages can be uploaded from the computer, such as GCF and PAK files.

CPU and memory usage is minimal, which means the system’s performance is not going to be burdened, and you can run this utility alongside others, without experiencing any kind of problem.

In conclusion, BSP Viewer is a software tool which proves to be useful through an intuitive interface, the many options available and a good response time. However, in Softpedia tests, when navigating the uploaded map, the program crashed.
