Source 2 Viewer (VRF) is an open-source tool for browsing VPK archives and viewing, extracting, and decompiling Source 2 game assets such as maps, models, materials, textures, and sounds. It ships as a GUI application, a cross-platform CLI, and .NET libraries (ValveResourceFormat, Renderer, ValvePak, ValveKeyValue) for programmatic access.
Use cases
- extract textures and models from Counter-Strike 2 or Dota 2 VPK archives
- decompile Source 2 maps and materials for Hammer editor
- convert Source 2 models and animations to glTF 2.0
- browse and search VPK archive contents
- programmatically parse Source 2 resource files in C#
- view Source 2 maps and models with PBR rendering
- recover deleted files from VPK archives
When to choose
- you need to inspect, extract, or decompile assets from Source 2 games like CS2, Dota 2, Half-Life: Alyx, or Deadlock
- you want a .NET library to read VPK archives or Source 2 resource formats programmatically
- you are a modder or artist converting Source 2 assets to standard formats like glTF or PNG
When to avoid
- you work with the original Source 1 engine rather than Source 2
- you need officially supported Valve SDK tooling
- you need a general-purpose game asset tool for non-Valve engines
