# bspinfo

bspinfo - print basic information about a Quake BSP file

## Synopsis

bspinfo BSPFILE [BSPFILES]

## Description

bspinfo will print various info about each .bsp file:

- BSP type

- list of BSP lumps, the number of objects, and the total size in bytes

- list of BSPX lumps and their sizes in bytes

For the purpose of previewing lightmaps in Blender, it will also pack the lightmaps into an atlas and output the following:

- `mapname.bsp.geometry.obj` containing the BSP faces plus the lightmap UV’s

- `mapname.bsp.lm_0.png`, `mapname.bsp.lm_1.png`, etc., containing a lightmap atlas per used style number

For debugging, the bsp is also converted into a JSON representation and written to `mapname.bsp.json`.
