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.

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

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!

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

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!

Bro underrated video, this man is goated. Thank you so much

short and to the point. you got my sub

That was awesome! :D

Short and easy, just the way i like it. You deserve a sub!

that was the faster than i expected. appreciate it

Incredible Vibe Great simple tutorial Thanks for this Good Work Man

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 love you bro you helped me alot!

subbed! best channel here for mappers! thank you so much bro!

this is excellent, thank you

Great tutorial! Would love a series in this format!!

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!

Спасибо, очень информативно. Идеальный гайд для новичка

This is the beginning of a MAJOR KZfaq carrer. #KZfaqGold

best fucking video man, straight to the point

have fun

extremely based ty

W need more acknowledgement

you are the absolute GOAT. Looking forward to more tutorials my sreggin

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.

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).

for some reason I cant just right click in the camera window to navigate in 3d it just opens a dropdown menu

"I hate tutorials that are super long and drawn out" AMEN

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?

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.

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

whenever i edit entity properties it simply doesnt show any available properties, such as env_sky and other. is there a fix for this?

when i press F9 and build but i can't see ground it black too dark but i can see sky

Is doing your layout like this still efficient? I used hammer 1 a LOT and I wasn’t sure whether to learn the new workspace layout as it may be more efficient

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.

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

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

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?

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

Bro u need to get a contract from valve for new maps ! Gaben would loves you

8/8

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???

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

Great job on this.

if i put workshop tool in game to yes, it doesn't save. any idea?

how to play the created map? what's the console cmd?

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 👍

I need help when im trying to run the game it doesn't show launch workshop tools or something

What do u think? Is it harder than source sdk from CsGo? Looks pretty similar

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

Disconnected Required map is missing on your client error?

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

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.

how to make a warm-up like yours. freeztime 25 sec to default

sadly it asks me for somekind of raytracing support i dont have to build the map. but nice tutorial

do i need rtx 2080ti to create maps or 1060 is enough?

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 ?

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

i only have 3 tabs fullbright , side and front how to add a top view.....HELP.....

Is it possible to import maps into cs2 hammer tool?

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

when i hit launch tools it opens normal cs..

rest in piece i have no rtx :)

Can I change the weapon stat in custom map?

Need a Raytracing

Bro i cant run the maps im building bc i dont have a good enough graphic card it doesnt have ray tracer.

do i need ray tracing for this ?

just by the beginning you got my sub

it only shows 2 windows for me instead of 3

Bro when I load into my map I can't see the ground it's black! Help!

I have a gtx gpu so i cant use full compile, i need to use fast

"Map does not exist in your client" error

I am starting to think that short tutorials are for fun and enter. not for making maps

everything is black even though i have a skybox and light entity

bro hammer isnt in the tools list

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

not 2:28, it's 2:27.

bro really think he 3klicksphillip

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!

Hammer 1 is better

Promo-SM 👌

Great tutorial!
