I forgot to mention, but a grid size of 16 or is a good size to build your map on. You can see the grid size number in the bottom right corner.
Bro if all internet tutorials were like yours our world would be different. Thank you so much to introducing me this tool.
Blazingly fast tutorial, love it. We have pause and rewind buttons built-in to UA-cam for a reason!
😎
i really like this tutorial. the new mapping ways confuse me, and this tutorial helped me understand whilst still staying true to old mapping techniques. thank you very much man
Np brodie
Ayyoo bussing tutorial to get back to mapping after 5+years, really straight forward and easy to get along, will definitely watch the rest of the videos! hope the algorithm serves you the best!
I appreciate the concise nature of this video, some other cs2 mapping tutorials are way too complicated for no good reason. Just subbed, keep it up
Cheers
Just what I needed, never delved into map building before, but thought I'd try. Great tutorial to get started!
Was looking for these kind of tutortials, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
I wanna comment but ima be honest im loving this video (and the playlist its in) for the exact same reason everyone else does, it makes things simple as heck and its exactly what I needed. Seriously, thank you!
subbed! best channel here for mappers! thank you so much bro!
Ty bro
Bro underrated video, this man is goated. Thank you so much
short and to the point. you got my sub
Great tutorial! Would love a series in this format!!
(((ps: as a total noobie blockouts are confusing, struggle with cutting and i accidentally exited and lost a window that let me get chose entity types and dont know the shortkeys to get it back haha)))
@@sonre3330 next tutorial coming soon, it's gonna be about geometry, which will include cutting and stuff like that
Short and easy, just the way i like it. You deserve a sub!
That was awesome! :D
this is excellent, thank you
This video is amazing! i already have 400 hours in the csgo map editor and i'd say i've gotten pretty good with it. I can't wait to use these tutorials to get even better with the cs2 tools!
400 ? Waow ! Where can I see your work ?
i love you bro you helped me alot!
love it
Спасибо, очень информативно. Идеальный гайд для новичка
This is the beginning of a MAJOR UA-cam carrer. #UA-camGold
Thanks m8
best fucking video man, straight to the point
Great tutorial!
Thanks!
extremely based ty
Thanks now I only need to make some textures and the remaster of my dads old 1.6 map will be complete :)
That’s dope! You should totally post a video of it when it’s done
@@CSJxlp that's what im thinking :D
have fun
Ty
you are the absolute GOAT. Looking forward to more tutorials my sreggin
Cheers
Forgot to mention that you need a ray-tracing graphics card in order to compile the map.
There is a workaround by compiling with CPU, but it's not ideal.
Yeah there is a workaround and I’m sure there are many people working on making it easier
@@CSJxlpShould have mentioned this lad 😅
W need more acknowledgement
"I hate tutorials that are super long and drawn out"
AMEN
🙏
Great video! I have a problem, my map is 355 MB now, and when I try to do a final compile, it takes 10 minutes till a message appears in the script console '20 elements left in memory!!!' after the map builds forever and never finishing. How to solve this? I really want to upload my map.
There might be some issues with your map then. I’d really suggest joining the source engine discord and asking in there
Bro u need to get a contract from valve for new maps ! Gaben would loves you
The camera window has also a grid and is set to 3d fullbright, kinda annoying cause i cant see the things im placing clearly, how do i get rid of the grid to just see 3d?
Try looking through the “view” settings drop down list at the very top of hammer
To run it outside without hammer do I need to do something special? The generated map ends up in csgo_addons that doesnt seem to be mapped by the game. I've tried moving the vpk file (as well as a .los file that gets created at the same time) into the csgo/maps folder but if I run it, it immediately closes. And all this with a simple map with a skybox 2 spawns and a platform. (running it from the F9 build sequence with play in engine works relatively well).
I would suggest just completely deleting and uninstalling csgo and cs2 then reinstalling it
for some reason I cant just right click in the camera window to navigate in 3d it just opens a dropdown menu
Not sure how to fix that, you should ask in the source engine discord, someone will probably know there
hey man im having issues running my maps when i click on run the game starts loading the map but then it just comes back to the main menu, saying the map doesnt exist in my client. any idea on how to fix???
First try verifying the integrity of your game files, if that doesn’t work try uninstalling and reinstalling
Nice. I was really wondering how to start the editor. P.S. I did all that but the game does not ask me for game or editor when I start it. It launches directly into CS2.
Go in CS2's steam properties and change the launch option
Hi! Love your style of tutorials quick, concise and well explained.
Although I'm getting a problem with my compiler where it goes through the process saying "OK: 11 compiled, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 0m:04s" after being "Done" and writing the files to [...]AppData\[...]\csgo_addons\mapname\maps\ but the compiler is stuck "building..." forever, never finishing.
I made the same tiny map, also tested adding a boundary and other essential enteties but no progress on the issue. Still never acually finishing the compile and loading map. I used to be able to compile maps just like this but not anymore.
Have anyone had this issue?
Hmm, I’m not sure. The map file might be glitched, but I’d ask in the source engine discord if anyone knows how to solve this
@@CSJxlp thanks for the tip! Any map has the same problem so its probably my game somehow, gonna try re-install cs2.
8/8
thank fuck bro, literally only video i could find that just gave me the damn basic, thanks so much. & appreciate the short form formate, fucking godsend
what do i do if i run the map and try to play it but some parts of the maps are not loading far in the distance even tho it aint that far
Thats a visibility issue, when you compile your map “vis” might be turned off
thanks for the fast answer my friend told me it could be also an render option problem how do i fix this?@@CSJxlp
whenever i edit entity properties it simply doesnt show any available properties, such as env_sky and other. is there a fix for this?
Id suggest reinstalling, maybe there was an error with how it installed but idk for sure
finnaly got the motivation to build my first map but cs2 states that it misses the map on my client how do i fix this
Might be an issue with the file location of the addon folder or the map file.,
What do u think? Is it harder than source sdk from CsGo? Looks pretty similar
I think its the same difficulty, probably a bit easier, its all about getting used to it
@@CSJxlp that’s cool
when i press F9 and build but i can't see ground it black too dark but i can see sky
Try changing some lighting settings or make sure lighting is enabled in the first place
I have downloaded separatist mod from mod banana and I need to somehow put it in add-on I think and change the names of skins I wont to replace so how do I put a download in addon
You will probably need to pack it into the map file, join the source engine discord they should be able to help you with that
The problem I have is that it says I need GPU ray tracing to compile the map, I wasn't able to get around that
I’ll try to find if theres a way bypass that
i think i found a way to bypass this, you have to run the map with fast compile and it has worked for me. Tell me if it's work and if you have a problem with your mesh who turn black, i know how to fix that problem
I had the same issue. Is this a long-term solution or will fast compiling be limiting and will hurt us in the future?@@luanqpa8457
@@CSJxlp Hi did you find a bypass ? I have the same problem with my GPU..
hjow do you fix that problem?@@luanqpa8457
hey brother, don't know if you'll see this, but i'm having trouble getting the map to load once i hit build. the first time (probably 4-5 months ago) i just hit build and i had the map working perfectly, but now once i hit build, the map compiles through and nothing loads. i followed ur tutorial step by step, i even tried loading one of the template files to see if maybe something i was doing was just wrong unfortunately nothing. i can't seem to get the map to open onto the cs2 application that opens with the workshop tools, nor can i find it attempting to search through both the in-game, and the workshop console. i might just not know the command tbh i was 100% just keyword searching and attempting to let the console autofill do the rest lmao. any info u can drop me would be a lifesaver. +1 👍
Yeah I’m currently having the same issue
Which graphics cards do you use? I have an amd card so I’m wondering if the new update broke the support for amd cards.
@@CSJxlp i've got a nvidia geforce rtx 3050 ti laptop gpu and a 12th gen intel i7-12650h
not entirely sure dude, it could just be as simple as little setting adjustment thing in the workshop tools idk. seeing as how its across 2 different gpus leaves me even more confused. reddit was empty of answers and the s2 discord server was stumped as well with their programs seeming to work for running maps and compiling.
i'm also marginally new to the cs2 map editor with like around 1000ish hours in the original global offensive editor, and all of the tutorials i've followed have made complete sense until the final step of compiling. not entirely sure.
@Andrewlol try compiling with no lighting to see if that works, uncheck the lighting box in the compile window
I only have 3 tabs fullbright , side and front . I change the assets to be front so now I dont know how to add the Top view. Please help
Change the other tab to be the top view
@@CSJxlp I found it , you can just add more tabs.
when I try to set up a file to make a map it wont give me the option. anyone have a solution? first time trying since csgo sdk
You should ask in the source engine discord, they’ll be able to help
brother ive got a problem when i build the map it says all teams are full and i cant join any or play the map
The means the player spawn entities are invalid maybe they are touching a brush
@CSJxlp thank you i made the entities above the floor for a bit and it works now
sadly it asks me for somekind of raytracing support i dont have to build the map. but nice tutorial
I think there are ways around this
I need help when im trying to run the game it doesn't show launch workshop tools or something
You have to activate it in settings of cs2
Thanks for the tutorial, I just have one problem, when I try to build, I get this error:
File verification failure. Could not calculate signature.
F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64
esourcecompiler.exe.Config
I tried posting it on the hammer subreddit and source discord but all anyone mentioned so far was that my folder is called Counter-Stike Global Offensive, but after reinstalling the game, it's still called that instead of CS2.
Try right clicking cs2 on steam and going to browse local files, other than that I’m not too sure whats going on there
if i put workshop tool in game to yes, it doesn't save. any idea?
I would try reinstalling
Disconnected Required map is missing on your client error?
Either an error with the download, or if you are trying to join with friends they need to all have the map downloaded and the map creator cannot be the host
i only have 3 tabs fullbright , side and front how to add a top view.....HELP.....
Change the asset tab to top view
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.
I did verify the files as well as reinstall cs as a whole and it still won't launch. Anyone know a fix ?
Not sure, try asking in the source engine discord. There should be a link to it in the description
do i need rtx 2080ti to create maps or 1060 is enough?
I think you still can, as long as you change some lighting settings in the build window it should work
just by the beginning you got my sub
rest in piece i have no rtx :)
I think there are still ways around that, don’t give up!
Is it possible to import maps into cs2 hammer tool?
Yeah, I think tophattwaffle has a video on it
Can I change the weapon stat in custom map?
Weapon stats? If you mean how much damage they deal, their ammo and such, no you can’t change the weapon stats
@@CSJxlp OK. Thank you.
You are welcome.
Sincerely,
CS J
when i hit launch tools it opens normal cs..
Try re-installing
Bro when I load into my map I can't see the ground it's black! Help!
You need to add lighting
@@CSJxlp how i did i think can you send timestamp it in the comments like other people do.
@@CSJxlpbro i refollowed the tutorial and its still black help!
1:47 is everything black or just the ground, cause if it's only the ground you might just need to change the texture of the ground.@@Ez_Bucks_
@@CSJxlp the ground and i can't full compile it I can only do fast ones
Hey, thanks for the tutorial, do you know, how i can use my map on own server? Need i upload it as a workshop, or is it enough, if i am uploading it on my ftp. I was creating a a workshop, but i cant upload a map there. it is very confused
You would need to upload it to the workshop, but I dont know much about servers so you should join the source engine discord and ask in there
Bro i cant run the maps im building bc i dont have a good enough graphic card it doesnt have ray tracer.
I think there are ways around this, you might be able to find a video on how to do that
Love the short "on the point" tutorials!
But please dont build and teach to build maps like brushes in source 1!
Source2 maps are mesh based and should be treated like that. Unnecessary Faces are no good idea - especially now where the backfaces are solid and no pass through for light anymore!
Good point, but I’ll have to learn how to properly and effectively building using meshes. For this I used brushes but the main point is introducing people who want to make things to hammer, and them getting them making things in hammer
"Map does not exist in your client" error
Is this error message from the build window?
I got the same message. It's popping up in the game and takes you back to the main menu@@CSJxlp
I am starting to think that short tutorials are for fun and enter. not for making maps
What?
everything is black even though i have a skybox and light entity
It could be a problem with the lighting settings in the compile window
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RTX CARD!!!! dont spend 4h on a map just to find out you need a rtx card for compiling the map :D
I think there are ways around this
I'm sure other raytracing capable cards, such as the higher-end AMD shit works as well.
@@user-zk5td6px6d yea but gtx cards dont work
not 2:28, it's 2:27.

bro really think he 3klicksphillip
The spiritual successor. :)
Hammer 1 is better
Bro has clearly not experienced the beauty of source 2
I have yet to find a beautiful Source 2 map they all look like hell. @@CSJxlp
@@MapSpawn You can continue using Source 1 it's fine. But if you try you'll find S2 has enabled a better level of detail, lightning and most importantly quicker workflow. Is quite apparent if you look at the new maps for CS2.
Have a nice day!
@@Nyllsor I have been a level designer for over 20 years in Valve's ecosystem. I started on Goldsrc, spent a tone of time on Source, and tried Source 2. Source 2 is absolutely not for me as an artist. I do not want my map to have a bunch of details and realistic lighting - it's just not what I want. I love Goldsrc and the artistic challenges that come with it.
@@CSJxlp Everything looks terrible on Source 2, you'll eventually reach the same conclusion. You are dazzled by things that do not matter. Inferno is already the least played map, why is that? Maybe because it was bastardized.
Promo-SM 👌
Great job on this.
