Here are some complimentary guidance for avoiding pitfalls and solving some problems that might arise. Due to character limit, I had to split this up into two comments. See replies. # Regarding the ray tracing requirement You CAN, at the time of writing, FULLY COMPILE your map without a ray tracing-capable graphics card! I will explain this in the next chapter, but first: how can you know for sure that your GPU is not ray tracing capable and it's not just some error in the editor? According to unreliable sources (but it's the best I have), all Nvidia graphics cards with "RTX" (not "GTX") in the name have the ray tracing feature. Not sure about AMD. Valve provided these Hammer GPU spec requirements in June 2023: • Nvidia RTX 2060 6 GB (2080 Ti+ recommended) • AMD RX 6600XT (6800XT+ recommended) ## How do you compile without a ray tracing GPU? You can use the Valve's CPU renderer to render with your CPU instead of GPU by using command line. CPU rendering is however deprecated and might not work forever. To complie, follow "How to test run the map at any point (CPU method)" further down this comment. You will of course not be able to view the map with ray tracing directly in Hammer. Also, I read that some specific emitters(I think?) might not work. So don't use those, I guess, I dunno, they aren't in the video. # How to test run the map at any point (normal method) 1. Follow along with the video up to at least 4:30 and you can pause there. 2. If you have already placed out spawn points, skip to step 7. 3. Entity tool (Shift+E)>Counter Terrorist Spawn Point 4. Click on floor to place. 5. Translate tool (T). 6. In object mode (5), click the counter terrorist, drag the blue arrow up to pull him up into the air. He won't spawn in the air, but if you don't do this, he might get stuck in the floor or something. 7. Save. 8. F9 or File>Build map... 9. Select a preset. "Final compile" takes the longest time and has the best lighting. 10. Hit "Build". 11. When you're done testing, know that if you shut down the game, Hammer and Workshop Tools will also close. Probably better to first close Hammer, then shut down the game from the "Tools" menu in the top-right corner of the the Workshop Tools window. # How to test run the map at any point (CPU method) TLDR for pros: F9, select preset, in the same window: Settings>Command Line, copy the command, paste into cmd.exe but add " -lightmapcpu" before "- threads" and change the outroot path at the end of that command to "[full-path-to-game-folder]\game", hit enter, wait, when finished: go back to the Build window in Hammer, hit "Run (Skip Build)". Optionally, build cubemaps with console command "buildcubemaps". 1. Follow the normal [GPU] method above, _up to and including step 8_, and then come back here. 2. Select a preset. "Final compile" takes the longest time and has the best lighting, but it might take a many hours to complete with CPU rendering. "Full Compile" takes just a few minutes for me. I haven't tried any presets besides those two. 3. Don't change anything, but expand "Settings" by clicking the plus next to it (if it's not already expanded). 4. Expand "Command Line" (not "Console Commands"). 5. Select and copy the text there. 6. Open Notepad or something. Doesn't matter what program. 7. Paste. 8. Before "- threads", enter " -lightmapcpu" (without my quotation marks). 9. Open Steam and right-click on Counter-Strike 2. 10. Properties>Installed Files>Browse. 11. In the Explorer window that should have now opened, click on an empty space on the bar that shows the path to the folder you're in (or it might only say the name of the folder) close to the top. This should turn it into a text field with a path. Copy the path, then close this Explorer window. 12. Go back to Notepad or where you pasted the command earlier. 13. At the END of the text string there should be a folder path within quotation marks. Remove the path text. 14. Paste. 15. Type "\game" (without my quotation marks). 16. Select everything and copy. 17. If you're on Windows, open up a command prompt by opening the Start menu, type "cmd" (without quotation marks) and open Command Prompt. If you are on Linx, I guess use Terminal. 18. If the path that appears in the command line is _not_ on the same drive as you have installed CS2, then type the correct drive letter followed by a colon and then hit enter. If it is already the correct drive, move on to the next step. 19. Paste via right-clicking. Then hit Enter. 20. Wait until it's done. You can close Hammer and Workshop Tools if you want, but it's not necessary. Not sure if it's safe to keep working on the same map file while it's compiling though. 21. If it says "CDataModel: 20 elements left in memory!!!" and "Leaking 20 elements", I think that's fine... but don't blame me if something bad happens with your computer. 22. Go back to Hammer and hit "Run ( Skip Build )" in the Build Map window that we opened before. The map should load in the already open game window. If it can't find the map, then you probably entered the directory path in the CMD command incorrectly, review that. 23. If you want to give cubemap reflections to your map, open the game's console/VConsole (google if you don't know how), type "buildcubemaps" and hit Enter. You (probably) need to have added env_combined_light_probe_volume first, as shown in the video. If cubemaps still don't work, try "Preview Baked Lighting">"Bake All Cubemaps" in Hammer, then recompile and build cubemaps again. 24. When you're done testing, know that if you shut down the game, Hammer and Workshop Tools will also close. Probably better to first close Hammer, then shut down the game from the "Tools" menu in the top-right corner of the the Workshop Tools window. # Installing the tools* (as of October 2023) 1. Right-click Counter-Strike 2 in Steam and select "Properties". 2. Go to DLC and tick "Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools". 3. Counter-Strike 2 will update and install the tools. If it doesn't update, run Counter-Strike 2. (continued in reply)

# Complimentary guidance for specific points in the video 2:20 Regarding layouts: To move the 3D camera, click the 3D viewscreen, and then move with WASD, and to turn, hold the right mouse button while moving the mouse. Adjust 3D camera flying speed with the scroll wheel while flying. To move the map around in 2D view, hold right mouse button and drag. 3:32 Please, for the love of GOD, spare yourself some pain later on by making sure you have SNAPPING enabled. The buttons to toggle that are just next to where you change the grid size. Make sure the first, second and third snapping buttons have orange outlines. You can turn it off temporarily when placing props and entities later on, if you want. 3:41 "You can change the mesh's shape and size after placing it in the world" If you accidentally deselect the block, you need to select it with the Select tool (hotkey S) in Object (hotkey 5) mode (these things are explained later in the video). In general, whenever you cannot resize, move, duplicate, or select something, you're likely on the wrong tool without realizing it. At least that's happened to me a thousand times. Note that he changes grid size to 64 to make that finer adjustment to the shape. Set the height of the block to the same as in the video, this will make it easier to follow the tutorial. 3:57 "In Hammer, 1 unit = 1 inch": You can see measurements (in units) of whatever you have selected by reading the floating text around it. When you create new blocks, the measurements will match your grid size. 4:06 "Shift + 1-5" Use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 to switch manipulation mode. Not Shift. Holding Shift and pressing the numbers does... something that I do not understand yet. Absolutely use the hotkeys for this, do not use the interface buttons. The same goes for the tools (especially Q, T, R, E, Insert). If you forget the hotkeys, hover over the UI button and read the tooltip. 4:31 Regarding window lighting modes: Some of these are only available with a realtime ray tracing capable GPU. 11:06 Regarding omni light entities: Reminder: Ctrl+O hides and unhides lights and other editor-only entities. Know that you can toggle the outlines and viewscreen adjustment handles with the "Show helpers" button right after word "View:" in the top toolbar. Or Ctrl+Shift+H. In case you accidentally toggle them off. 12:21 "With the entire mesh selected" This means you click anywhere on a surface and it will select everything connected to it. It treats the whole thing as an object. After switching to the clipping tool (Shift+X), set the Keep Mode to "Keep Back" in the tool properties, as seen in the video. 12:30 On mirroring the mesh: Mirroring also works on the object(s) you have selected, so make sure you have the entire mesh selected (I managed to unselect it and got confused and frustrated with it not working). Perhaps obvious, but draw the line on the same spot where he draws it in the video. 14:48 "These lights in the hallways needs to be adjusted". I thought this part of the video was unclear, so here is a clarification: 1. Experiment with the Hide and Unhide keyboard shortcuts. 2. Select one of the LIGHT MODELS only (lamp, not omni light). 3. Ctrl+Alt+O. 4. Right-click, Selected objects>Replace Objects With Instances. 5. HIDE them with H (will make things easier). 6. Select one of the OMNI LIGHT ENTITIES only. 7. Ctrl+Alt+O. 8. Deselect one of the lights. 9. Delete. 10. Select the remaining omni light entity. 11. Ctrl+X. 12. Press U to unhide the light models/instances. 13. Double click a light instance. 14. Ctrl+Shift+V. 15. Select an omni light in this instance editor. 16. Edit the light and all of the instanced lights will be adjusted at the same time. 17. Click the blue map name tab to exit out of the instance editor. 19:41 Regarding Combined Light Probe Cubemaps: Whenever you want to go back and edit the size of the blue "block", use the Select tool (Q). If you find that you cannot resize it beyond a certain point, it's because you need to move the cubemap origin (Insert). 21:53 Regarding the post_processing_volume entity: I couldn't find default.vmap. But I did find toolscene_default.vmap, which had the entity. Go to the Asset Browser (the main window that opens before you open Hammer), search for default.vmap and double click it to open the map in Hammer. The model is a bit larger than on default.vmap, not that it matters. 22:14 Regarding environment sound entities: Make sure you have "Show helpers" enabled to see the radius visualization. It's the button right after word "View:" in the top toolbar. Or Ctrl+Shift+H. 22:26 "There is a variety of sound events you can open and reference, and even listen to, in the editor." To get any working sound events to show up, I had to go to the Asset Browser (the main window that opens before you open Hammer), search up soundevents_addon.vsndevts, right-click it and choose "Reload". 22:57 Regarding playing the map: If you want to play the map normally, outside the Workshop tools, here's how to do it (October 2023): 1. Exit Hammer and Workshop tools. 2. Copy the VPK file (see 22:57) into Counter Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\maps Be sure to follow this step precisely, as it is easy to go to the wrong folder. 3. Add -insecure as a Launch Option in the Counter-Strike 2 properties window in Steam. 4. (optional) If you instead want a desktop shortcut and not change launch options: make a copy of your shortcut to Steam. Rename it to "Counter-Strike 2 (insecure)" (or whatever). Then right-click the new shortcut, select Properties. Add " -applaunch 730 -insecure" (without my quotation marks) to the end of the "Target" field. Click "Change Icon..." and select cs2.exe inside steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\bin\win64. Click "OK". Click "OK" again. 5. Launch Counter-Strike 2. 6. (optional) Open console (google if you don't know how) and change bot difficulty with the command "bot_difficulty" . 0 = Harmless, 5 = Expert. 7. (optional) Quick and dirty way: Open console and enter "map [testmap01]". Admin console commands won't work. 8. Play>Practice 9. Select game mode and pick any map. 10. Once it has finished loading, Open console (google if you don't know how). 11. Type "map testmap01" and hit Enter. 12. (optional) If you picked Casual or Deathmatch, add more bots with the command "bot_add". 13. (optional) Get rid of the bots with the command "bot_kick". # Final words Everything mentioned are things that either I personally had problems with (but managed to overcome), or that I think others (not everyone) are likely to have problems with. Thanks a lot Eagle One. This video helps many people. You have spent a lot of time and effort into this. Tell me if there is anything I should change or add.

@AlleyKatPr0 7 месяцев назад

WOW - what a lot of bs needed to just run the map from the camera position...that is insane.

@starlight_garden 7 месяцев назад

@@AlleyKatPr0 I guess I made it look more complex than it really is, but it was the expense of making it very noob friendly. You cannot run the map from the camera position (afik), unlike Unreal engine or whatever you kids are used to these days. I suppose you didn't read the relevant parts of my comment. It literally only takes about five seconds of interaction to run the map, then you have to let it compile and load for a few minutes (depending on how fast your computer is). And setting up a map that is runnable probably takes 3 minutes once you get the hang of it.

@AlleyKatPr0 7 месяцев назад

Don't misunderstand my intentions, I simply do not have any intention of trying to run the hammer tool for level design as it is flawed, illogical and needs a radical change to be of any use to a level designer. 1) Cannot test a level inside of a level editor = waste of time. 2) Cannot test a line of sight in playable mode unless waiting for 3 minutes for something which was purely a spurious choice of geometric alteration = waste of time. 3) Once a change is made and has been compiled (for some reason) then one has to run the map in a test mode with bots, just to check a line of sight = waste of time. The other alternative I have come to is to create a basic project file in UE5, with the same movement speed, FOV and simply do the level design there, then, import the damn thing into 'hammer' using FBX import. Only problem with that is that although the process of level design is faster, the utterly nutty way that hamer works with fbx files makes UV's ugly as hell and, CS2 works better with displacements, from the limited testing I have done. On another point about hammer in general terms...why is that hammer requires you to tell it what you are going to click on before you click on it? SURELY, if I am to manipulate a edge, face or vertex...hammer should just let me click on it and manipulate it? Why must I click two buttons? Once to say 'ok hammer, I am now about to click on a vertex - please tell the vertices present in my FOV to prepare for my arrival in 3, 2, 1...' and then again to actually select the thing I want to click on. The amount of times I clicked a face and could not understand why the 'engine' did not let me pull the face in a direction, or, present me with a widget tool to pull the face in world or local space...just insane. When I click on a face, I expect it to understand that I have clicked on it and allow me to do what I am trying to do, but it has some sort of personality antithetical to level design. Terrible level tool, very poorly laid out with a junk UI. There must be a way to access the SDK and change this whole pile of nonsense through code, because this is just...I mean this cannot be right. This cannot be the way they expect a competent level design tool to work. @@starlight_garden

Woah, coming from Source 1 Hammer to Source 2 Hammer is really weird! I've always loved the Hammer editor because making levels in Blender and Maya were just not as intuitive and easy as Hammer was. Despite that, Hammer was REALLY OUTDATED, there were so many QOL features that were missing that other contemporary level editors had. It's baffling to think how certain CSGO maps were made to look so good in Source 1 Hammer, those mappers must have had monk-like patience. Now, we are blessed to have Source 2 Hammer because combines the best of Source 1 Hammer and the best of modern 3D modeling software. I'm excited to see what people make with it! Thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you very much ! I was used to hammer for CS:GO and your tutorial helped me take a good start for CS2's hammer ! Very clear tutorial even if there's some error here and there by example at 21:53 To get post processing volume we can just do a small cube (16x16x16) and Right Click > Selected Meshes > Tie to entity and from then we can change the class to post_processing_volume

2 critiques to an otherwise PERFECT tutorial - Music in the background makes it impossible to play your own music while watching this great tutorial - Your voice takes are recorded in different volumes (and rooms/locations it sound like) which makes it harder to listen to. It could also help to compress / normalise it to make it be constant That being said, you did an amazing job with this!

@eagleonedevelopmentteam849 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the feedback! I'm in a conundrum as the music is used to mask the voice over audio background noise and make it seem smoother, but it becomes at the level where you can't enjoy your own music. Any suggestions?

As someone still using Source 1 to map, I am extremely jelly of these features. Source 2 mapping tools allowing you to map in 3D reminds me of TrenchBroom's own mapping procedures. Room creation and face manipulation seems very similar to DoomBuilder 2's own vertex and line manipulation. Mapping is so fast compared to Source 1's messier mapping. Here's hoping Source 2 mapping tools comes as a standalone like Source SDK Base.

For making curved roads and hallways more easily, and accurately connecting between two existing entrances - select the edge loops of both entrances and hit "bridge"

Super helpful tutorial, but remembering all of this will require rewatching it multiple times. But I cannot complain since it's the only guide I've found that shows & helps you understanding Hammer so practice is essential at this point. I am in the middle of working on the map to play around and rewatching this video made me rethink the way I need to make a map because I used the Valve already made template of the map and used it to create my own map. I literally don't have a roof on my map but that's because I want to avoid nades being stuck by throwing them at the skybox. Worth to mention I have a TKL keyboard so I cannot use numpad shortcuts. It's really sad. Edit: Finally finished watching the whole video. You can throw through the skybox material. Truely amazing stuff.
