# VIDE

The **Valve Integrated Development Environment** (commonly referred to by its acronym **VIDE**) is a third party freeware software distribution used by Source developers. It is commonly used by mapmakers to pack custom content ([textures](https://noskill.gitbook.io/titanfall2/documentation/textures), [models](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Models), [soundscapes](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Soundscapes)) into their levels.

Any and all custom content must be packed into the level with VIDE; otherwise, external users of your map will see [missing content](https://noskill.gitbook.io/titanfall2/documentation/textures/missing-content) textures in place of the custom textures only you see on your end.
