Use decomplier to decompile bsp into vmf.

Playable maps in CSS are BSP, but in Hammer Editor the file is VMF.

It sounds like the textures are custom textures that have not been Pakrated. Pakrat the custom textures and that should solve the problem with the others who only see pink.

Just go to youtube and search for tutorials so you don't have to ask everything from us, thats how I learned.

OK I SWEAR THIS IS HTE LAST QUESTION. On the map there are only 10 spawn spots per team. How do i go about adding more spawn spots so I can have more bots on the map?
Thanks!!

Press entile tool, then put it somewhere on map, double click the entile in 3d view, you should get new window with some options. At top there is selection bar that you can drop, click it and search entile you want, I don't remember what it was right now. Something like: info_player_counterterrorist if you are unclear; double click the current spawn to get the name of it.

Now, start trying to use that wiki site and you tube to learn about hammer, this forum is more like problem solving than basic teaching.

Just add info_player_terrorist, for t-spawnpoints and info_player_counterterrorist, for ct-spawnpoints ;)

Well left in hammer you see some tools. Click on entity tool. Now click anywhere where youw ant the bots to spawn in your map. The default is set to terrorist, if you double click it and you scroll up in the entity list you will see counter terrorist too.

EDIT: O didnt see that the question was already answered.
