2. NemPosted: Feb 8th, 2004 - 6:27:37 pm +

+ It means that the file exists in the directory for the GCF file but Steam hasn't yet downloaded it.

4. NemPosted: May 12th, 2004 - 9:24:48 pm +

+

+ Probably not.
+
+ GCF files are quite complex and while enough is known about them to be able to extract them there is not + enough known to be able to modify them. This would probably require some documentation from Valve.

... hope this doesnt leave me sounding like an idiot... but...
i was killing + some time today and i came across something that might peak your interest. I ran AnalogX's + TextScan on steam.exe and among the long stream of nothingness that came out was a version number + and copyright info ( here it is: deflate 1.1.4 Copyright 1995-2002 Jean-loup Gailly ). wondering what + steam was doing with non-valve software i did a quick google search and + this page poped up. interestingly, from what i gather zlib is a data compression library. While i + neither have the time or the expertise to flush out its connection to steam, i was hopeing that it might + become useful to your research on the .gcf format. good luck and keep up the great work nem.
+
+

+

+
6. NemPosted: May 17th, 2004 - 5:11:10 pm +
+
+

+ Thanks for the info; I don't think that it has anything to do with the GCF files though because they + aren't compressed, they are encrypted. (And yes, ZLIB is a well known decompression library.)

9. BluefangPosted: Sep 3rd, 2004 - 1:44:11 pm +

+

+ you have to run DOD from the 'Play Games' menu in steam
+ (notice that one of the games is DOD)
+ you don't have to extract anything.
+

10. scorpPosted: Sep 4th, 2004 - 1:48:21 am +

nin:
look at the second error. the title is '.NET initialization + error'

that most likely means that you install of the .NET framework is corrupt or improperly + installed.

go to Windows + Update to get the most recent patch
+
+ scorp:
+ what Steam game package do you own?
+
+

+
+
+
15. NemPosted: Nov 3rd, 2004 - 4:10:55 pm +
+
+

+ Yep, it looks like a .net installation problem to me. You might want to scan your computer for + viruses/adware to make sure nothing is interfering with it. Also, what version of the .net framework are + you using?
+
+

+ +
+
+
16. RavatarPosted: Nov 3rd, 2004 - 6:59:10 + pm +

+

+ Make sure you're using this redist of .NET
+
+ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en
+
+
+ Also, if you have .NET 2.0 beta definately roll back to 1.1 as .NET has several problems with + streamwriters and forced garbage collection ( although I do not know how often nem uses those features + ).

+ Ok I am newby when it comes to this stuff because I know nothing about programing, not my area. I work + with hardware, but anyhow I need some help, I was playing CSS online and some people in there were + talking about how they had HL2 and blah blah blah. This got my attion because from what I understand is + this game will not be relased untill NOV 16th. I talked to them and they said to use a prog called + GCFScape and get the files out of steam. I did all of this and downloaded all of the files that I had to + from here but I can not figuar out how to play HL2 now. Is that what this is for or am I just hopelessly + lost?
+
+

+
+
+
18. BluefangPosted: Nov 11th, 2004 - 3:22:56 + pm +

+ Go away. we are not going to help you pirate HL2.

19. NemPosted: Nov 11th, 2004 - 5:06:50 pm +
+
+

+ A lot of people seem to think GCFScape can somehow be used to crack Half-Life 2 so let me clear up these + misconceptions. First off, Half-Life 2 preloads (and any other games you have not paid for or have not + been released) and in encrypted form. To confirm this right click on a file and select its properties + and GCFScape will happily tell you whether or not it is encrypted. GCFScape will extract these encrypted + files, but they will be of no use to you. Secondly the Half-Life 2 preload does not contain all + Half-Life 2 files, just bulky things like media, models and levels.
+
+ GCFScape was designed to allow legitimate developers to access files they need to develop with, nothing + more.
+
+

+
+
+
20. running4bhsPosted: Nov 11th, 2004 - 8:39:32 + pm +

+

+ Ok thanks. Sorry about that im not trying to pirate HL2, people were just talking about how they had it + and I was like yeah I have the preload done too, but they were making it sound like they had it right + now and they were playing it.

Hey NEM, I'm part of a mod team, and you know what would be a supurb idea? A GCF + Compiler. Thats right, I want to have the ability to create my own GCF files for the mod I'm currently + working on. Do you think this is possible?
+
+ Regards,
+ PerfectH
+
+ P.S. I love GCFScape, your a genious for creating this :)

24. BluefangPosted: Mar 27th, 2005 - 12:18:47 + pm +

Read the FAQ
+
+ in addition, the only use of GCF files is to distrubute the media over Steam. Seeing as MOD devolpers + can not yet distribute stuff on Steam, it is pointless.
+
+ And anyways, I do think that Steam supports PAK files, so you can use those insted.

Make sure that you have the Microsoft .NET framework installed on your + computer.
+
+ If you don't, you can get it through windows update or here:

Try turning on 'volatile access' in the options menu.

why don't you use the dll's from the sdk, that whould make it possible to open the + gcf's while steam is running!!!

You can open .gcf files when Steam is running, just enable the "Volatile + Access" option from within the Options menu in GCFScape. The reason I don't use the Steam SDK is 1) + the Steam SDK wasn't out when I first wrote the program, 2) the Steam file system interface isn't very + flexible and 3) it adds additional dependencies; I hate having to install things to certain folders. +

HI, i'm trying to install GCFScape and I keep getting this error:

I've double-checked the installer and it seems fine, perhaps there is an + incompatibility problem with your system? Anyways, you don't need the installer to install GCFScape, + there is also an "archive" (zip) distribution available, just unzip and run. The only + difference is that it doesn't create shortcuts etc.

hi, i have a question. i need to decompile the map files from harf-life2. but there + is no *.gcf file as i searched the whole hl2 folder. i can only find *.bsp files in the map folder. so + do you mean that the bsp files are gcf files that need to be cracked before i use them in my + program?
+
+ please check this out: http://www.geocities.com/cofrdrbob/faq.html
+
+ the faq says that:
+
+ Q. I can't find any of the Valve maps to decompile. Where are they?A. Probably stored in the .gcf file. + You need GCF Scape to extract them, before they can be decompiled.
+
+
+ but what i get are bsp files, there is no gcf files.
+

+
+
+
39. NemPosted: Dec 16th, 2005 - 12:58:32 pm +

In your ...\Steam\SteamApps\ folder there should be a half-life 2 + content.gcf file. The file contains the HL2 .bsp files and you can open it with GCFScape to + extract them.

if + you want to convert a .bsp-file into a .vmf file take a look at VMEX. + It requires Java, but it doesn't extract any custom models and other custom staff (use GCFScape + instead).

49. NemPosted: Jun 21st, 2006 - 11:11:16 am +

While I don't really recommend texturing Source terrains in TG, you can if you + convert your .vtf files to .tga files then load the folder containing the .tga files in TG. This will + allow TG to generate alphas as you paint the terrain which will be exported by TG. When you import your + terrain into Hammer and apply a texture to it, the alphas should behave appropriately as long as the + texturing scheme is one that the Source engine supports (e.g. three textures should never meet at one + vertex).
+

55. NemPosted: Sep 28th, 2006 - 9:05:15 pm +

This error occurs when HLLib calculates that the .gcf file is not of sufficient size + to hold all of the data that the header claims it does. In other words, your .gcf file may be truncated + or otherwise corrupt. A quick check would be to look at its size. My counter-strike.gcf file is 265.11 + MB, how big is yours?
+
+ If you believe this to be false and your .gcf file to be valid, please send it to me so I can take a + closer look at it. It may be that I've fudged up the format somewhere.

Weird how yours would be a full ~100 MB bigger than mine when mine is fully up to + date. At any rate, I'd have to inspect your .gcf file in person to figure out what's wrong with it. Any + chance you have the facilities to get it to me?

GCFSpace is really nice for HL2, great work.

I can't add support for it if I don't know about it and I can't test it. If you can + send me one of your .bsp files to ryansgregg@hotmail.com + I'll take a look at the .bsp and see if it makes sense to add support.

Sorry man, but I can't help you (wouldn't know where to start). All I + can say is that you can't remove files from within a GCF file (see the FAQ for a more in depth answer). + You should contact + Valve for more help.
+
+ daniyalnawaz:
+ The error message means that your GCF file has been truncated somewhere after the header (i.e. the end + of the file is missing). Try deleting the GCF file, Steam should redownload it.

Hi, starting from (i think) 1.51 gcfscape cant seem to read pak files + correctly.

Instead of showing folders with files in it, it shows the file with the folder as + part of the filename.

I cant extract files becuase "/" isnt allowed in the filename + for windows and it confuses windows because of that.

I've checked it against my old half-life + paks and homemade paks made through pakscape and neither work.

Well, first of all, make sure that they are fully downloaded and updated. You can + check that by running Steam and looking in the 'My Games' tab. You can also go in to the game's + properties and in the 'Local Files' tab you can verify their integrity.
+
+ There are also (last time I checked) a handful of files in some of the GCF files that don't actually + exist. These are normal. For example, files for the 64-bit version aren't downloaded on 32-bit systems. +

Hello.

+ First, I'd like to thank you for creating such excelent tools; GCFScape is excelent and I've used it + many times.
+
+ Anyways, I was wondering, do you have a list handy of all the GCF internal IDs used by Steam? I know + they are in each .gcf etc. file, but I do not have a way to extract them.
+
+ Is there a feature in GCFScape that I am overlooking?
+
+ If it is in any way possible, if anyone has it, I'd really like such a list, or maybe even the next time + you update the program, you add the CacheID number somewhere.
+
+ Thanks much,
+

If you're not getting .NET exceptions (there + should be a Details button on the error message if you are) then it is .NET that is crashing, not + my application. You may want to check your .NET installation, and your system for other possible errors + (such as bad memory).

For a complete + list of Steam application IDs, see the Source + SDK Wiki.

You can also view .gcf file IDs within GCFScape by right clicking on the + root folder and selecting Properties. +

I'm not sure why this occurs, but it seems to be pretty common place for .gcf files + to be missing a few files (my .gcf files are missing the above files). I can only speculate that the + files were originally part of the .gcf when it was first constructed, but later removed when it was + found that they were unnecessary. For example, maplist.txt is only needed for MODs, and + sheckley_cover12.wav may have never been used.
+
+ GCFScape displays the above error when processing these files because it cannot tell them apart for + ordinary unacquired files. I believe these errors are safe to ignore.

I found error in latest release of GCFScape (1.6.9).
+ The value 'Size on Disk' in gcf file properties dialog and status bar is negative for file 'team + fortress 2 content.gcf'. This probably because real size of this file is more than 2GiB, and you store + this value in signed variable. This error affects defragmenting: defrag info doesn't appear in progress + dialog, but after some time defragmenting ends and file successfully defragments without corruption. + (It's good idea to store all big values in QWORD vars, or in pair of DWORDs =)

I tried to use unsigned integers in HLLib and GCFScape whenever possible, but it + seems there are a handful of places where I neglected to. I've fixed these places and will be releasing + an update tomorrow.
+
+ I don't think we need to worry about anything bigger than 4 GB because the internal GCF data structure + uses 32 bit unsigned integers for offsets etc.

Batch validation would be good addition to GCFScape. I needed this feature two days + ago when some antivirus after buggy update corrupted my hard disk file system entries. chkdsk is good + tool, but GCF validation may be better for GCF files (or to completely calm me down =).

I may add this if I get some free time in the future. In the mean time you can use HLLib to batch validate your .gcf files using the following batch + file:

+
Code:
+

for %%F in (*.gcf) do HLExtract.exe -m -v -s -t root -p "%%F"
pause

+
+ Hello, I'm having the exact same problem as the one mentioned above, except I'm using Vista Home + Premium. The extract doesn't seem to extract anything and Vista doesn't recognize that the folder was + created.
+
+ However, I seem to have found out the reason why this occurs, though I'm not sure exactly why this would + do anything. It appears to be related to the Make New Folder command when attempting to extract files. + If a new folder is created using GCFScape, Vista cannot recognize it. But if the files were extracted to + an existing folder, then there is no problem.
+
+ Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to get around this, and I'm having trouble deleting the + files created because Vista cannot see the files. Perhaps I will try Windows Recovery in Command Prompt. +

I have been trying to play sounds on CS, but without using a mic, but I don't know + how. The only sounds I can play are the ones that come with the game. Is there anyway to import sounds + into the .gcf so I can play them or is there a simpler way that I just can't find?

Hello Crabberson,
you don't need to put your sound files back into the gcf file, + just put them in the right folder in GCFFolder\<accountname>\<gamename>
Also see HLSS

You can't extract from NCF files. They are simply directories. The files that it + references are in your "common" folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common

Hi Druki, those files were moved over to team fortress 2 materials.gcf. + Presumably to reduce the file size of team fortress 2 content.gcf to under 4 GB to allow the game + to run for users with FAT32 partitions.

Thanks for the great tool! I'm using it to help speed up the loading times with + Portal 2, half-life2, and half-life2 with the gigantic (yet gorgeously awesome) Cinematic Mod 11.
+
+ I first use Ultimate Defrag to sort my games folder alphabetically and to put it on the outer edge of my + hard drive's platters. I then use your program to optimize the .gcf files and to sort the files within + the .gcf files alphabetically as well (lexicographically as you call it ;))
+

Hi! Nice work on GCFScape!! happy

+ Oh and a bug: when I try to open some custom maps (TF2 BSP's) GCFScape hangs, without .NET or system + warnings. The map I try to open is 1.22MB, so, it is something I did wrong? I can send it if you need + the file

+ Error writing C:\Users\Dianne\AppData\Local\Temp\3rd_degree_hit_03.wav (Error: Unexpected end of GCF + stream (0 B of 140696 B). Has the GCF file been completely acquired?)
+
+ Please help me.
+

I can confirm that all files within "team fortress 2 content.gcf" and + "team fortress 2 materials.gcf" are greyed-out and can't be extracted. I didn't check any + other gcf files though.

There's may a dozen files in all that can be extracted. The rest + gives the error above.

-----------

If you want to extract the model files and + getting the error above then instead open the following file, it will work:

[DRIVE & + PATH]\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\tf2_misc_dir.vpk
+
+ From there browse the directories until you find "/models/weapons/" and chose the appropriate + directory thereafter (or just browse around until you find the one you're specifically looking + for.
+
+ Hopefully that'll fix your problem. :)

+

+ Your Steam folder is fine; you might try 'Steam\GCFScape' though because GCFScape will create some files + and folders when you run it. To uninstall it just delete whatever folder you put GCFScape into.
+
+ GCFScape is not designed to fix any problems you might be having, using GCFScape however might be useful + for fixing problems if it were demmed necessary to access and modify files within your GCF file.

11. CribsPosted: Mar 28th, 2004 - 8:33:35 pm +

The reason the popup saying "The application failed to initialize properly ... + Press OK to terminate the porgram" pops up is because you have not installed .NET Framework v1.1. To get + this go link + here.

+
+

13. NemPosted: Mar 28th, 2004 - 10:24:13 pm +

+

+ The purpose of GCFScape is to allow the HL development community access to files that were previously + available on non-steam installations and are required for several development purposes such as + customizing maps, models, textures and what not. For example if you want to create a level and you want + to use HL textures, you need access to the HL WAD file which is locked up in a GCF file.
+
+

+
+
+
14. CribsPosted: Mar 29th, 2004 - 5:36:17 pm +
+
+

+ So in other words GCF files store data that isnt exactly extracted into your half-life directory. So + Half-Life reads from the GCF for some files? Hmm. Never knew that. Learn something new everyday.yeahbaby

UtilityFan, that error is usualy caused because you do not have Mocrosoft .NET + Framework v.1.1 installed on your system. To get it go here

.Net + Frameworks

18. NemPosted: Apr 1st, 2004 - 5:22:18 pm +

+ Hello,
+
+ Yesterday (June 21st), I used GCFScape to extract a few files that I needed from the "condition + zero.gcf". Everything went fine, I got the files that I wanted and so on. But this morning, I + opened up Steam, talked to a friends and then closed it. I fired up GCFScape to extract some more files + that I needed, and when I opened the "condition zero.gcf", the program just froze and sat + there. So I closed it manually by ending its process, and when I tried opening it again, it froze some + more. It does the same thing with all the other *.gcf files. Any idea why?
+
+

+
+
+
40. KosiKosiPosted: Jun 22nd, 2004 - 11:03:52 + am +

+
41. NemPosted: Jun 22nd, 2004 - 11:12:56 am +

+ I hope they stop changing the format simply because of the volume of message I get when they do.

+ I downloaded the GScape 1.3 beta version and tried to open the counterstrike.gcf, halflife.gcf and + halflifeengine.gcf files but they dont work. Only platform.gcf opens. It says "Invalid gcf version + number". Make sure the file is not already open and that stean is not running. I closed steam but + it still doesnt work. also could u tell me what do i do next once ive opened say for example the + counterstrike.gcf file. do i right click and say extract or shell execute. also to play counterstrike + which files from the above do i need to extract?exhausted

+ Ok, if you get an error, make sure you have v1.1.3.1 Beta. When you run this version and you get an + error it will produce a file called "dump.txt" in your GCFScape directory. Copy the contents + of this file and send it to me to help me debug what the error is.

+ Hi, Nem. I'm interest in your tools. But There is a problem when I try to open + "half-life.gcf"
+ The error message has been shown.
+
+ -------------------------------------------------------
+ Could not open:
+ D:\Sierra\Steam\SteamApps\half-life.gcf
+
+ Error:
+ Invalid GCF version number.
+
+ Make sure the file is not already open and that Steam is not running.
+ -------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Yes, I'm never run Steam yet. It's downloaded from + ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/halflife/steam/
+ And .NET ver 1.1 has been installed. Can you help me? Thank you.

+ Another GCF files cannot be open too. I used version 1.3.1.1 Beta now. And "dump.txt" hasn't + be created.
+
+

+
+
+
55. NemPosted: Jul 8th, 2004 - 12:22:16 pm +
+
+

+ The error is "Invalid GCF version number." which means that you have a version of a GCF file + that GCFScape doesn't support.
+
+ I will download some of the GCF files on that site and see if I can add support for them.
+
+

+
+
+
56. NemModified: Jul 8th, 2004 - 10:49:02 pm +
+
+

OK, I've added support for version 3 GCF files. I found exactly two changes + between version 3 and version 5 so I'm going to try and download some more GCF files to see if I can see + which one of those changes was made in version 4 before I upload the new GCFScape.

I've also + improved the error messages so they all don't suggest you close Steam even when the error has nothing to + do with Steam. Along with that I've added a version panel to the status bar.

[Edit]
+ No such luck, I've uploaded the new version though.

+ Simply saying "it doesn't work" doesn't help me at all. GCFScape will spit out an error + message if it encounters a problem; that error message helps me. Also, GCFScape will create a file + called dump.txt in its directory or the directory of your GCF file if it encounters a problem; that file + helps me a lot.
+
+ I have a lot of programs with a lot of execution permutations and I can't predict every problem they + will encounter, but I think you'll find if you take the time to help me out instead of complaining, + you'll get a fix as fast as possible.

+ well, if you are a new Steam user, you have to make a Steam User Account and put in either your HL, CS, + or DOD retail CD key.
+
+ if you don't have a CD key, go to your local game store and by a $20 copy of Half-Life (or CS or DOD) + and use that CD key.
+
+ that will give you access to all of the ganes currently available on Steam except CS:CZ.

+ The Half-Life 2 Pre-Load is just that...
+ Valve are releasing content in Steps, mainly to cut down on server down time.
+
+ What you have (which 1.1.5 will open btw) is purely the materials for Half-Life 2.
+ So for the adverage person this is going to be a waste of time, however if your like myself and have a + copy of Worldcraft 3.5 which supports the new Source Material System it means you can extract it, put + the files you need in the root folder (bin) and run for complete access to everything you need to + finally create maps.
+
+ If you also have Counter Strike Source, you'll also have the materials required in order to use the 'not + legally' released Binaries floating about the internet.
+
+ Although not really legit to do, you won't be able to pirate the game even if you wanted to and had the + executables.
+ Alot of the GCF are given to you missing files, they're declared in the GCF and so is thier space, + however the file itself isn't downloaded until you've ordered the game.

The problem Failed to map GCF file to memory. could actually be caused + by to much RAM. To map a file to memory Windows needs a continuous block of virtual memory that the file + can fit in. A 32 bit memory space is limited to 4 GB of memory so the more physical memory you have the + less virtual memory you can have. 4 GB is not a lot of memory to work with and is one of the driving + factors towards a 64 bit system.

To my knowledge the GCF file format hasn't actually changed. + You would get the error messages Invalid GCF version number. or Corrupt file. if it + had.
+
+ Maybe some of you can help me out by posting how much RAM you have and weather or not you can open the + new 1 GB GCF file.

+ Hi Nem
+
+ First of all thanks for your tools!
+ I have 2 GBs of RAM, allocated 2 GBs for the pagefile which has a max of 4 GBs set. So I do have enough + RAM, but still get the "Failed to map ..." error. I can open all the other GCFs as e.g. the + CS:Source Beta without a problem. I copied and renamed the preload file, so Steam couldn't put a lock on + it. What should I try to fix the problem? Any help appreciated.
+
+ edit:
+ I tried to open the same preload file with the same version of gcfscape on a similiar PC with only 512 + MBs of RAM and was able to extract the contents of the preload. So there seems to be a bug in gcfscape + when running on machines with lots of RAM. I hope that helps.
+
+ edit#2:
+ It also doesn't work on a machine with 768 MBs of RAM. So 512 MBs seems to be the sweet spot.

+ Nem, I think every Windows process has its own segment and therefore its own 32 bit virtual address + space. So I'm not sure if your explanation is right. Besides, there were no other apps running that + consume memory when I tried to peek at the preload's content.

You are right in the fact that every + application has its own virtual memory space, however, not all operating systems use this memory space + for file mapping. It turns out that both Windows 95 and Windows 98 use a shared memory space for file + mapping so if you have other programs running they may take up the memory space that GCFScape needs. In + Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP the memory space for file mapping is not shared but is part of + the application's virtual memory space.
+
+ It turns out that of the 4GB of virtual memory space available only 2GB is available for private use so + we only have 2GB of memory space to work of. This means that there is no way to map a file larger than + 2GB. It is also important to note that this memory space is also used by the various dynamic memory + allocations the program makes and the various libraries the program loads. Because file mapping requires + a continues block of virtual memory, larger files (such as the 1GB HL2 preload) will have a very hard + time finding sufficient space.
+
+ This does not, however, explain why the program seems to work consistently for me and consistently not + work for other users.
+
+ GCFScape relies heavily on file mapping as it is simply the most logical way to access a GCF file. I + may, however, be able to reprogram GCFScape to use two views of the GCF file. One for the data needed to + manipulate the GCF file (typically only a few MB), and another to access the individual data blocks + within the GCF file (which are 8 KB in size). The cost would be a performance hit on file + extraction.
+
+

I've done what I suggested above, you can pick up the new version here. Note that the above will not be the final version. It + maps a hard coded portion of the file for the header information (if the header is larger then the + mapped portion GCFScape will probably crash) but it should work for all current GCF files. Please D/L it + and let me know if it works.

+ There won't be a fix because it isn't a bug (the test to see if there is physical data is very simple). + There are some files that can exist in a GCF file with no physical data, why they are there I don't know + (for example, logo.avi typically has no data, but there is no way it can be a valid avi file without any + data). Give me some example of the problem files and maybe I can shed more light on the subject.

+ Couple things:
+ A) SP2 in no way affects .NET applications
+ B) There is a patch for the v1.1 .NET framework. Make sure you have it
+ C) Your half-life.gcf file was either not fully aquired or it was corrupt.

+ People, when you get the error no physical data to write, means that the file you have is locked by + steam, explaining better, you haven't installed the game yet, so all the content of the file will be + extractable, only when you buy the game. The FAQ ansewer to that problem doesn't mean exactly + this.

154. Leandro_ScottPosted: Nov 12th, 2004 - 3:53:09 + am +
+
+

+ But there is something I discovered, the file comes encrypted, but when you buy the game and steam + unlocks the file, this file is "physicaly" modified, so it stays unlocked. So if a good soul + share his unlocked GCF on eMule for exemple, you can extract everything inside it. To test it, I + installed steam from scratch, downloaded some GCF files(they came locked), then I made a copy of that + locked file to other folder, I registered my counter-strike, then the file was unlocked, then I made a + file compare with the locked and unlocked. There is a LOT of differences between them(note: the file + size is the same). And other thing, I installed steam again, and unlocked the file again and compared + with the previously unlocked file, again there is differences between them(don't know exactly + why).
+

+
+ Thats what I'm hoping. It also helps browsing GCF files with mixed content like source engine.gcf.
+
+ Leandro_Scott:
+ Steam doesn't download the GCF file directly, it downloads the files that are part of the GFC file and + creates a GCF files on the fly (probably a good thing as you can pause and resume download with ease). + Now it downloads these files in the order they appear in the directory (so if you downloaded the same + GCF file twice it should probably be the same) but remember these files get patched which means Steam + may have to fragment them and a fragmented (patched) file probably won't be the same as a fresh + (unpatched) file.

+ How can you tell if a file is encrypted within a GCF file? I realize that it's greyed out if you open it + in GCFScape, but I'd like to know how you could tell if you were to open it in a hex editor for example. + What flags are set differently to identify it as a locked/encrypted file?
+
+

+
+
+
157. NemPosted: Nov 15th, 2004 - 10:01:10 pm +

+

The GCF file format can be found here. + The flags are stored in GCFDIRECTORYENTRY.DirectoryType (we weren't certain they were flags when we + first wrote up the format) and the mask is 0x00000100. In HLLib CGCFFile.GetItemsFlags() will return the + above value.

+
+ if you own HL2, then you can download the SDK through Steam and set up hammer4 to map for HL2. Hammer4 + will use the resources directly from the GCF so you do not need to extract anytihg.
+
+ Donny3000:
+ if you own the game, the GCF files are unlocked.

+ Don Iggy:
+ If you own the game and it is unlocked, you can extract any file form the game (provided you shut Steam + down first).
+
+ DarkSnoopy:
+ If you are looking at the file format then if GCFDIRECTORYMAPENTRY.FirstBlockIndex == + GCFDIRECTORYMAPHEADER.BlockCount the file hasn't yet been downloaded. If you are using HLLib then if + CGCFFile.GetFileSizeOnDisk() sets dwSize to 0 the file hasn't yet been downloaded. (Maybe in the future + you can specify which method you are using.)
+
+ I don't know of any concrete way to tell whether a GCF file is complete. If the used and allocated + blocks match up it is complete, if they don't it still may be complete (Steam sometimes allocates more + blocks then it needs).

The actual message is:
Not enough storage is available to process this + command.

RAM, Swap and HD space should not be relevant because I think this is an issue with + virtual memory space. In Win98 I believe there is 2GB of virtual memory space which all applications + must share in a pool. MapViewOfFile will fail if it can't find sufficient continuous free space in the + virtual memory pool. This should only really be a problem with large allocations (like HLLib used + to make). HLLib will allocate a 16MB block for the header and 8KB blocks for file fragments (one at a + time). You really should have 16 MB of continuous free virtual memory space.
+
+ I will try to research the problem further, in the mean time I suggest you restart your computer and try + to open the GCF file without any other programs running. This will insure your virtual memory space is + clean and unfragmented.

GCFScape will extract textures from Half-Life .bsp files, not Source .bsp files. You + can use bspzip (one of the tools that comes with the Source SDK) to extract the textures and other + resources from Source .bsp files.

I think he might be talking about this:

+
+ EDIT:
+ On the MakePakGUI website, it claims "makepak.exe is copyrighted by Valve Software"
+
+ Now, I know that they have not officially released any thing like this so I would assume it is something + that someone made, or it is a reminant of the source leak.
+
+ But I don't know if it even works because I don't want to test it.

195. NemPosted: Feb 22nd, 2005 - 5:12:36 pm +

Neither do + I.
+
+ Anyways, I am quite sure part of Valve's Steam plane was to create a GCF authoring suit for MOD + developers so they could distribute their MODs over Steam. This could be a manifestation of this, but I + don't think it is legitimate (possibly, as you said, a remnant of the Source leek).

makepak is in Steam/bin/. Plus IMO we are unlikely to see a GCF authoring tool from + Valve. GCFs are only useful when you have the mod hosted on the Steam servers to fill them up and that + could far more securely be done internally. :-)

+
+

197. NemPosted: Feb 23rd, 2005 - 3:07:33 pm +

True, but it will be interesting to see what happens to the major MODs that emerge. + Given how much the MOD community helped develop Half-Life into what it was, it would seem logical for + Valve to host major MODs on their servers, both publicizing them and easing bandwidth constraints. If + people are willing to buy Half-Life 2 for a specific MOD then why not? It is in their interest.

198. BluefangModified: Feb 23rd, 2005 - 3:30:56 + pm +

That is very odd. I have never seen that in there before.
+
+ And I agree with Nem on the MOD part. VALVe did say that it was part of their master plan to allow MOD + makers to distribute/sell their content over Steam. So we have yet to see what will happen.
+

+
+
+
199. VarsityPosted: Feb 23rd, 2005 - 4:46:57 + pm +

All I'm saying is that it is far more logical and secure to keep the authoring tools + inside Valve, when any mods that is added to Steam and needs them must go through the company anyway. +

I've been using 1.2.6 for a little while but I kinda have one issue with it. This was + probably intentional but when you just barely move a folder in the left window pain or the + "explorer" window it will throw all the files within that folder into a temp directory in the + gcfscape folder. The reason I have an issue with it is because when I'm in a hurry and clicking on + folders, I usually end up unknowingly moving the folder a little bit and it extracts them. I find this + to be really annoying. I guess I could just be really careful with it but I really don't see why it does + that.

Sounds like a problem with your .NET setup. What, I don't know (reinstall or maybe + try v2.0 + Beta 1). If you can't get it to work, you might try Half-Life 2 Studio. It + isn't really a dedicated extractor, but it does the job.

GCF file's don't have identifying headers so it is hard to say whether a file is a + valid .gcf file or not. From the sounds of the error message, I think you have an invalid (null) .gcf + file. The last person that reported the above error had the same problem. You didn't get it from Steam + did you?
+

+
+
+

Hi there... I really enjoy GCF Scape but I have one problem with it... I remember + reading that in the last update there was an addition of volatile access permissions, or something that + would let you open GCFs while Steam is running.

Are you sure you don't mean '.qc'?
+ the .qc file is a script for compiling the model source files in to a .mdl
+
+ the GCF files only contain the compiled files that are used in the game. you will most likely not find + any source files other than what is included in the SDK.
+
+ And it also sounds like you are only looking in the 'half-life 2 content.gcf', which only contains the + compiled game maps (the .bsp files). the other game sources are stored in the 'source ***.gcf' files. +

You mean to run GCFScape? Well the installer OR the archive, and the .NET framework. + You'll know if you don't have the .NET framework because you'll get an error when you try to run + GCFScape.

If you mean where are the texture files, they have the .vtf extension and are + located in your source materials.gcf file.

You need to ahev steam installed with a user accound that has a valid copy of HL2 + & CS:S registered to it. If you don't have HL2, buy a copy. Once you own a copy, you can install it + from the My Games panel (or from a CD if it's the boxed retail version).

I'm having some difficulty in extracting specific materials from CS:S for use in DoD. + GCF to extract / export the specific materials, then using the VTFedit prog. (which is very cool by the + way)
+ Should I copy or recreate the entire folder, ..in this case DE-Nuke and it's contents, or just the vtf, + vtm of the materials I want to use?
+ They're not showing up in the "metal" material folder when I try just the specific + materials.......Clearly,...I'm missing some important step.
+
+ I'd make the materials from scratch,...but I can't get that damn TGA to vtex prog. conversion to work + either.
+
+ Did I mention that mapping used to be easier?......and fun.what
+
+ Any good tuts out there on more specific use of your tools?
+
+ Thanks and keep up the excellent work.
+

+
+

230. NemPosted: Dec 4th, 2005 - 4:00:57 pm +

Are you updating the $basetexture path in the .vmt? You shouldn't need VTFEdit for + this, just notepad.
+

+
+
+
231. LightningBoyPosted: Dec 5th, 2005 - 7:12:13 + pm +

Would it help if I said, ......I have no idea what your talking about? sad
+ There aren't enough custom source materials out there in cyberspace yet, so I have to choose from whats + already available. Thanks again for the tools to make that possible.
+ Now if only the DoD dev team would release the necessary portion of the SDK so I wouldn't have to do + this whole "work around",...that'd be nice.
+
+ But,...I digress.........I want a specific material from CS:S to be in the DoD "metal" + materials folder,...........How do I do that?
+
+ Thanks (and I've been using TG since your first release.) happy
+ OH!,...and mapping used to be easier,...but I already said that.exhausted

232. NemPosted: Dec 6th, 2005 - 12:29:17 am +

Ok, well, you've probably noticed in the .gcf file that each material has both a .vtf + and a .vmt file. You need both to use the material. If you look at say metalbar001a.vmt (in notepad) it + will look like:
+
+ "LightmappedGeneric"
+ {
+ // Original shader: BaseTimesLightmapAlphaBlend
+ "$translucent" 1
+ "$basetexture" "Metal/metalbar001a"
+ "$surfaceprop" "metal"
+ "%compilepassbullets" 1
+ "%keywords" "c17downtown,c17industrial,c17sewers,wasteland"
+ }
+
+ In this case, the $basetexture tells the engine where to find the .vtf file, specifically the .vtf is in + the metal folder and called metalbar001a.vtf (the extension is omitted since all textures are .vtf files + and the metal folder is relative to the materials folder (cstrike/materials). So, it follows, if you + want to use the same material in DOD, you would have to copy both the .vmt and .vtf to the + dod/materials/metal folder. If you do not (say you choose the dod/materials/custom folder) you will have + to change the $basetexture to read custom/metalbar001a.
+
+ It is important also to distinguish between materials and textures; materials reference textures and + provide properties used to render them, textures are simply image data.
+

+
+
+
233. LightningBoyModified: Dec 6th, 2005 - 7:23:49 + pm +

Ummm,..yeah,.....I figured that was probably the case.
I can ceratinly + understand why,...and how,......but everything related to mapping has gotten so much......... slowersad,.......it's just annoying. +

UPDATE,.........90 minutes + later.

OK,...that was a really slow and tedius trial and error process before the material + finally showed up in Hammer.
BTW,...this is all in an effort to re-release a map originally + created for the old HL engine.
+
+ I still appreciate the help, and the time you put into making it any easier at all.
+ Thanks again.

235. NemPosted: Jan 6th, 2006 - 1:42:23 pm +

If you are distributing a map with custom content, you might want to check out Rof's + Pakrat + which embeds the content in your .bsp. I'm not sure if the bug where embedded models wouldn't work has + been fixed though (with the Source engine, not the tool).
+
+ As for where everything goes, its best just to examine the structure of an existing MOD (though + GCFScape). More less, materials and textures go in the materials folder and models go in the models + folder (though their materials go in the materials folder). Everything should be in a subfolder, i.e. + you should never have "materials/mymaterial.vmt", instead, + "materials/myfolder/mymaterial.vmt".

it should run no matter what (due to the 32-bit emulation), but if you have the + 64-bit version of the .NET 2.0, it should run in 64-bit mode. be sure to download the most recent vrsion + (v1.4.1). The download page also has links to the .NET downloads (including the x64 version).

Hey. Thanks for making this Nem.
+
+ Currently I'm trying to export a Counter-Terrorist model from CS:S, but there are VTX files as well as + PHY files. I'm not sure which one's to export.
+
+ [I plan to assign a Half-Life 1 model to its skeleton and bring it back into CS:S.
+
+ EDIT: Found the files I believe are the right ones.
+
+ I exported (GIGN):
+
+ ct_gign.dx90.vtx
+
+ ct_gign.mdl
+
+ ct_gign.phy
+
+ ct_gign.sw.vtx
+
+ ct_gign.vvd
+
+ IDST,.smd
+
+ When I went to decompile the model with Milkshape I got this error, followed by a crash:
+
+ "Error writing .BMP"
+
+ The textures must be somewhere else?
+
+ EDIT: I tried decompiling without textures and it just crashed instantly, mentioning the IDST,.smd
+
+
+

yes i did and.. in the FAQ.. it only says thet if any start up problems persists... + you should install NET. framework or whats its name cause its writen in C++ NET. framework and it + requires it... and thet other things there only say about if you get problems trying to open a file... + but i dont have problems at file unpacking or something, cause i cant even get the program to run.. and + yes'v installed NET.

IDST is the internal identifier for Source .mdl files, and .smd + is the input model format for studiomdl.exe.

This really isn't an appropriate place to seek help with Steam. The official Valve + forums are where you want to be. That said, debugging isn't going to help you unless you have the source + code to Steam. I have very little experience with Vista, but judging by your error message, it + may be a problem of permissions. Try elevating the privileges of Steam to the administrative + level.

Hi im trying to use GCFScape to export the HL2 files into Portal, so I can use the + Portal Gun in the HL2 campaigns. I have all of the orange box plus more.
+
+ My problem has a few parts:
+ 1. When extracting files from the GCF I do not want to overwrite existing files, nor do I want to + extract the 0 Byte files.
+ 2. I do not know why each GCF has 0 byte files that are also in another GCF (with real bytes), but this + is creating a problem for me trying to get all the data in one place.
+ 3. I do not know what all files the HL2 campaigns need, and which GCFs they are in. The ones I have been + extracting from are: Half Life 2 Content, Half Life 2 2007 base Content, Source 2007 Shared Materials, + Source 2007 Shared Models, Source 2007 Shared Sounds, Source Materials, Source Models, Source + Sounds.
+ 4. I do not know exactly where to extract all the materials because the portal file structure is + confusing. In portal/materials there are materials folders but also a models folder, but there is also a + models folder at portal/models.
+ 5. I have been able to launch a HL2 map from portal, and use the portal gun as expected. However most of + the textures have a purple overlay, some textures are missing and you can see thru the grid, some + textures show up as purple checkered board, some textures show up as static like on the TV (ant race), + the lighting/shading on all surfaces changes from bright to dark and in between while moving or rotating + camera.
+
+ I have seen several videos and screen shots of people successfully playing HL2 maps in Portal, + essentially as if they where bonus maps I suppose. Unfortunately I cannot seem to get all the content in + the right place. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

To Flippy,
+
+ I had the same prob before, hope this helps you.
+
+ Make sure that you have .Net Framework v2 installed and not v2b. You can download the program from + microsoft. If it still doesn't work, then you must have an invalid registry, you can use TuneUp + Utilities 2006 to fix it. If all fails, you'll have to revert back to the
+ previous GCFScape version (1.3.1) and have .Net Framework 1.1
+ installed.
+
+ good luck.

Sorry man, don't know if I can help you. If the bug was in GCFScape you would get a + different error message because GCFScape is written in managed code. It doesn't look like Windows is + getting to GCFScape's code at all, instead it looks like a bug with .NET or something funny with your + Windows installation.
+

Hi Nem, I just wanted to add a comment regarding GCF fragmentation. Many people do + not realize the difference between the gcf file itself being fragmented on their hard disk as opposed + the files inside the gcf archive being fragmented. Obviously, GCFScape defragments the files inside the + gcf file, but to gain the utmost performance, users should first defragment their hard drives to get the + gcf file itself contiguous on the drive, then defragment the GCF with 'Scape. Running the GCFScape + defragmenter obviously then leaves the physical file alone on the drive, only rearranging files within a + file. I just thought I would mention that. Could it be gcf fragmentation is the source of Valve's + infamous 'stuttering' bug in HL2? shrug Please keep the quality projects coming!
+

+
+
+
17. NemPosted: Nov 15th, 2006 - 1:13:13 pm +
+

Yep, you're correct; to get the most out of defragmenting you should defragment both + your hard drive and your GCF files. If you had to choose but one, I'd recommend your GCF files, + as my studies have shown they can contain upwards of 10,000 fragmentations which you're extremely + unlikely to find in an NTFS file system. However, fragmentations in your file system can be more + extreme...
+
+ And it could just be the placebo effect, but I've noticed Steam and HL2 are a lot more responsive and so + called stutters are much less exaggerated after defragmenting everything. This really is the main reason + I wrote the tool, I was sick of load times.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but i downloaded your converter.. and + tried converting a .bsp file, it ended up becoming an .ent file this is all well and good the + extractions worked fine of the original file everything came out as .vmf's but i need the original file + as a .vmf and must keep all the internal files together (map)
+
+ as valve hammer can only seem to open .vmf's and i got the file as a whole .bsp map rather than single + bits.
+
+ Any thoughts?

Thanks for the info!
+
+ It looks like a problem with HLLib's total data calculation, I will release a fix shortly. The bug + shouldn't cause any damage to your .gcf as long as it is fully acquired, at least nothing you can't fix + by validating the game.

I don't think it's said enough , just how much this program help's people.
I + just got to say thanks Nem on your work on gcfscape. 1 excellent program. yeahbaby

=====================
just got the update 1.6.2
i + just tried to defrag my gcf's.
i had just enabled it so it can write. Then i tried to derag, after + pressing defrag a window comes up saying it may take a few min's. i pressed ok, then a another window + comes up and says:

+
Code:
+

Error defragmenting file:
Error:

+
+ I had just enabled write. ?
+ after looking, in the log below. it says Defragmenting....

In the Options menu you need to enable File Mapping and Write + Access, and disable Volatile Access before loading your .gcf file to defragment.
+

+
+
+
25. cLaDPosted: Nov 26th, 2006 - 2:34:00 + pm +
+
+
So the gcfscape needs to be opened , before ANY gcf file is loaded ?
+
+ If so can an option in the file menu be added to close a gcf file with out closing the gcfscape program + ?
+

+
+
+
26. NemPosted: Nov 26th, 2006 - 2:58:06 pm +

You can always reload a .gcf file once GCFScape is opened. So if you double click a + .gcf file to open it, and then change your options in GCFScape, reloading the .gcf from the Recent + Files menu will apply the new settings.
+
+ Your options will be saved when you restart GCFScape, so I don't think a close button is really + necessary. Also, if you have your SteamApps folder open, you can just drag files onto GCFScape to open + them instead of repeatedly double clicking.

Ahh.. i see. ty
+

+ i disabled it , and restarted gcfscape and then opened my file and started defraging it.
+

+
+
+ edit: does it matter if steam is running when defraging ? i have closed it out while doing this.

28. NemPosted: Nov 26th, 2006 - 3:17:53 pm +

You don't need to restart GCFScape to apply the options, just reload the .gcf.
+
+ As for Steam, Volatile Access allows GCFScape to "share" files with Steam (which is why you + are required to disable it before defragmenting). If Steam is using the .gcf file and you disable + Volatile Access, GCFScape won't be able to open the file and thus wont be able to defragment it. If + Steam isn't using the .gcf file, GCFScape will be able to open it and defragment it, but Steam won't + (while it's open in GCFScape).
+
+ Generally I would suggest not having Steam open at the same time just to be cautions, but because of the + above described failsafes, it should be OK. GCFScape or Steam will give you an error if there is a + conflict of access.

Visual Studio automatically generates manifest files for C++ applications. I think + the problem is related to two things:
    +
  1. GCFScape uses a version of HLLib compiled with VS 2003 (.Net v1.1).
    2. +
  2. Microsoft has released service packs for various versions of the .NET framework which the user may + need (Windows Update).
    3. +
I'll release v1.6.4 of GCFScape shortly with a rebuilt HLLib that should reduce dependencies. + Hopefully that will quell some of the errors. (The error messages could be more helpful.)
+
+ Edit: I've done so, maybe someone can give it a test?

I reformatted my computer to get rid of Visual Studio. I installed Windows XP Pro + then did all the updates. I installed the .NET Framework 2.0 runtime from the link provided in the FAQ + section. The new version still generates an error message: "The application has failed to start + because the application configuration is incorrect." This is a fresh install of Windows and the + .NET Framework and it's not working!

EDIT:

I looked in the Event Viewer and a more + detailed error message was in there:

"Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be + found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system."

The + source of the error was "SideBySide".

There were two more errors that appeared + along side this one. They are:

"Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. + Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your + system."

and

"Generate Activation Context failed for C:\Documents and + Settings\Andy\Desktop\GCFScape.exe. Reference error message: The operation completed + successfully."

EDIT2:

I tried putting msvcr80.dll in the .NET folder (the one + with the version number as the name) and C:\WINDOWS\system32 and it didn't work + yet

EDIT3:

Installing the package found here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&DisplayLang=en

hi
+
+ I recently downloaded fallout 3 from steam and im having a problem with playing the game. Ive been told + that the solution to this problem is to extract either the nfc or gfc files and making them standalone + will fix the problem. Can i do this with GCF scape and if so, how do i do it?

Hello there NEM, my name is Opti and I am a long time user of GCFScape and it's + tools.

I recently got an error in GCF that will not allow me to extract any skins from the + Half-Life 2 game or GarrysMod, only Day Of Defeat. I am reinstalling Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod and Day + Of Defeat and what not, but the error still exists.

The VTF files show up as gray, which I am + assuming is meaning they are missing. I have Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod installed and still the error + persists.

I tried looking up the error on forums and sites and still nothing. I have + reinstalled GCF and the error still occurs.

Here
+
+ Sorry for the huge image, but I just need to show you what I am talking about :[
+
+ This happens with a Myriad of other things as well. It shows some of the VMF files are there but not VTF + even after I load up both Half Life and Garry's Mod. It really bugs me :[
+
+ Any help?
+

+
+
+

+ "Error writing C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\Local Settings\Temp\v_superphyscannon_sheet.vtf + (Error: Unexpected end of GCF stream (0 B of 349744 B). Has the GCF file been completely + acquired?)" For the VTF and:

+ "Error writing C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\Local Settings\Temp\v_superphyscannon_sheet.vmt + (Error: Unexpected end of GCF stream (0 B of 273 B). Has the GCF file been completely acquired?)" + For the VMT.
+
+ Can anyone help me out with this?

+ Try half-life 2 content.gcf
+ Been a problem since the Mac update.
+
+ On clan server (Windows 2003 R2)
+
+ d1_eli_01.bsp and a few others are grey.
+ If you run validate it says they are incomplete.
+
+ root\hl2\maps\d1_eli_01.bsp
+
+ I have deleted HL2 and re-downloaded. Makes no difference.
+
+ On home PC Win7 x64 the files are not grey and do validate / extract. However when I uploaded to Synergy + server and select map it states "Server version differs"

Try half-life 2 content.gcf

Okay, I took a look. When you redownload the + GCF, you don't get all the files. I noticed that VALVe moved the missing files into half-life 2 2007 + base content.gcf. You will find what you are looking for in there :)

+
+ Very stange that GCFScape still shows the names in the original location. Some catalog in the GCF I + presume.

Okay. So I believe it is because of the stupid Mac update (No offense to Mac users, + it just sucks) but I figured out it will not load up my "Source Materials" content folder but + will however load up my "Source 2007 Shared Materials" folder and load up everything in that. + I got a little upset at first, but no worry now.
+
+ If anyone is having the same problem as I am with the GCF files not being able to download and what not, + please use:
+
+ SOURCE 2007 SHARED MATERIALS" and I believe it will work. Thank you for your help though.apple

I hope people still read these comments. Using the latest version of GCFscape, but + .vmt files no longer appear when opening the new .vpk files. I can't see vmt's in TF2, HL2, or any other + steampipe game it seems. Is this something that can be fixed?
+
+ Going through the files such as tf2_textures_dir with a text editor, I can see the files still exist in + there as plaintext. What's going on?

Hi, folks. Extremely new to what you do here. Is this where I would post for + some help with a downloaded game that is a .vpk file? I downloaded the GCFScape v1.8.5 full, but have NO + idea what to do from this point.

+ I just want the game because it is based in a local small(ish) town - might be fun. I'd appreciate any + help that you can offer a willing student. Thanks!
