ValveResourceFormat VS MonoGame

Get https://vrf.steamdb.info/

Use this: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/ValveResourceFormat

Your research will be able to find a published report of a similar story in \materials\effects\coconut\ in the tf2_textures VPK structure (if you do not have either already, use a tool like GCFScape or Valve Resource Viewer to get into it).

You can also extract the textures using VRF https://vrf.steamdb.info/ to decompile the valve pak files and then use crowbar https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Crowbar to extract the textures from the relevant vtexc files. You could probably get the models this way too, but I haven't tried it yet. You'll also need the Blender Source Tools https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_Source_Tools if you're aiming to open them in blender.

Well, it's a wee bit taboo but if you use software like the source 2 resource viewer (it works on source 1 also, I checked) then you can view and export the hidden files of the game. Then you can use software like crowbar to convert models, textures, and animations from their original .mdl, .vtf, .dmx, and .smd files into more general use and palatable .obj, .tga, and .qc files. And then use the blender source toolsto export them back into source to after modifying.

If you do not have either already, use a tool like GCFScape or Valve Resource Viewer to get into the VPK file structure.

Thanks to VRF (Source 2 Resource Viewer) (also, thanks /u/xpaw - give him a follow!) we can browser Panorama UI source code (and of course other Source 2 files) in the all-new Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test.

TF2's copy is located in \steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\hl2\hl2_misc_dir.vpk. Use a tool like GCFScape or Valve Resource Viewer to get into the VPK file structure. Once you're in there, it's \models\extras\info_speech.mdl.

use https://vrf.steamdb.info/ and open "dota 2 beta\game\dota\pak01_dir.vpk"

Check Youtube Guides or so how to use https://vrf.steamdb.info/

To highlight this shift, we are introducing a new website which is now fully automated with Github. The paint is still fresh, but we hope to expand it with more information about the MonoGame Foundation, like how it operates, and how to join it or contribute.

Yes, it is possible, but you need to use a game framework not a game engine.

Example of a game framework: http://www.monogame.net.

Monogame, though it doesn't do much hand-holding: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame

Webassembly support is spotty, though in progress AFAICT.

Used by a few 2D games like Stsrdew Valley and Celeste.

Some that I am aware of and that support at least Windows and Android are (Monogame)[https://www.monogame.net/], (Cocos2D)[https://www.cocos.com/en/cocos2d-x], (LÖVE)[https://love2d.org/]. But there are likely many more. Even more basic ones which are just another abstraction layer on top of SDL (like (Oxygine)[https://oxygine.org/]).
