I've created a Texture Converter and a Particle converter that will read all the files mounted in a Source mod and convert those that are incompatible with the mod's Branch. There is no need to extract anything. Just mount the VPKs from the Source Games you want to use assets from, open the converters and let them do the job. On my i7-12700H 2.30 GHz laptop, it just took some seconds to convert all ASW textures. Particles are converted almost instantly.

How useful is a Map Compile Debugger?
I was able to make something really cool. Incremental VPK changes. In the next update, modders will be able to drag and drop files into mounted VPKs. Now I'm modifying the editors to let modders edit the files in the vpks instead of writing loose files when you hit Save. This is essential to support Portal 2 and Black Mesa modding, as well as Source 2.

Syntax highlighting for when there isn't a specific editor for a file. It's not like you can edit files inside a VPK with VSCode.
11Hello Lambda Generation community! 👋 If you are a programmer for Source, you will enjoy this. You can now easily download and set up Mapbase's source code for Visual Studio 2019/2022 with the click of a button (more than one click, but you get the idea). Here is a tutorial on how to do it. I hope I was the last person to struggle with this.
