The specific one im trying to open is the first segment of the escape. (To find the cube animations that are near the end). Does Anyone know how to do this? I know it is possible. Thank You!

The sources aren't included in the SDK, but you can use a decompiler (like VMEX) to take a look at stuff.

Use BSPSource for decompiling the maps.

How to do it? Open the program and use it!

Thank You. I feel like a bit of an idiot for asking this, but i cant figure out how to use it. I have BSPSource downloaded, but how do i use it to decompile a map?

Open bspsrc.jar (double click, requires Java installed).
Click on "Browse" and select the .bsp file (portal 2\portal2\maps)
Click on "Decompile".

The VMF is now in the same folder like the BSP.

Thank You. It seems if you have winrar you have to extract it first, but your advice helped. Thanks again.
