What can I do with Momo's Map Manipulation Tool?
Hi everybody,
I'm giving you here a few ideas of what you can do with this add-on.
  • Make breakable panes unbreakable:
    By editing the LUMP_ENTITIES, replace the classname of func_breakable & func_breakable_surf entities with func_brush.
    There is also Breakable panes protector to do that without modifying the map.
  • Protect a map made for your server from being re-usable:
    Take a maximum of entities from the map and move them into a private server-side Lua file.
  • Remove the High Dynamic Range:
    Just remove the corresponding lump to solve any brightness trouble (the too-shiny bug).
    There is also HDR disabler for servers to do that without modifying the map.
  • Replace / modify / remove props (including static ones):
    By editing the LUMP_ENTITIES and the sprp game lump, simply do the changes that you like.
  • Replace map materials:
    By editing the LUMP_TEXDATA_STRING_DATA, you can substitute map materials for others as long as you keep the exact same number of lines in the exact same same order.
  • Add content files (pakfile):
    By extracting & modifying the LUMP_PAKFILE, you can add built-in content files without the need of an external pakfile substitution tool.
This list will grow over time.
You can add suggestions below, I will add them to my list.

can you add the ability to generate a cubemap

Unfortunately I am not at ease with how the process works, but such a feature would certainly help when the map is renamed.

Add ability to retexturize maps?

You already can replace named brush materials in LUMP_TEXDATA_STRING_DATA. Although I unfortunately don't know how to retexture particular brush planes, I don't have information about corresponding lumps, if I'm correct. 😢 Besides, how would you recognize particular planes? 😅 Well, in-game it would be possible to use the toolgun if you are on the map you want to mod. 😛

Hey so I'm wondering if there is a way to add point entities such as info_target to a map with this tool or another tool on the Workshop.

Hey! I see no reason you would not be able to. Just edit the LUMP_ENTITIES. The syntax is pretty straightforward. If this may help, you can make a Hammer project with an info_target in it. The key-values are the exact same as what you have in the LUMP_ENTITIES. The Hammer project can be opened with a text editor.
Normally you can add most entity classes that are not internal and that do not have a brush model. Almost all point entities are like this.
Good luck!
