GodotVMF

Description

An importer of VMF files into Godot Engine.

Highly recommended to use Hammer++ since it supports precised vertex data.

Why?

We with my friend Ambiabstract did not find a convenient plugin for us to create levels for Godot and so we decided to use our favorite and familiar editor :)

A useful tool for those who like making levels in Hammer and are making a project on the Godot. Or for those who just want to port their map from Source Engine to Godot and see what happens.
