Importing a map

1. Create a scene and create inside a new node with class VMFNode.
2. Choose a VMF file to import. Enable the "Use External File" checkbox if you need to browse to a file outside of the Godot resources.
3. Click import in the inspector panel or click Full in the 3D scene view at the top tool bar.
4. Wait a while...
5. Done!

If you found that something going wrong, check the Output panel first. In some cases you can see in the Output panel messages tagged with [Godot VMF].

Resources

The "Resource Generation" properties in VMFNode control whether the generated meshes or collision shapes are stored as binary resources inside the project directory (configured via import.geometryFolder). This helps with scene file size and complexity, and improves editor load times.
