CS2 MAPPING BASICS TUTORIAL 

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.

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!

Blazingly fast tutorial, love it. We have pause and rewind buttons built-in to RU-vid for a reason!

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

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 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

short and to the point. you got my sub

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!

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

That was awesome! :D

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

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

this is excellent, thank you

i love you bro you helped me alot!

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!

love it

Спасибо, очень информативно. Идеальный гайд для новичка

Great tutorial!

best fucking video man, straight to the point

extremely based ty

This is the beginning of a MAJOR RU-vid carrer. #RU-vidGold

have fun

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

Thanks now I only need to make some textures and the remaster of my dads old 1.6 map will be complete :)

Ty

W need more acknowledgement

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.

Bro if all internet tutorials were like yours our world would be different. Thank you so much to introducing me this tool.

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?

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.

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).

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???

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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?

8/8

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ?

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.

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

Great job on this.

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

just by the beginning you got my sub

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

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

Disconnected Required map is missing on your client error?

Is it possible to import maps into cs2 hammer tool?

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

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

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.

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!

it only shows 2 windows for me instead of 3

when i hit launch tools it opens normal cs..

rest in piece i have no rtx :)

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

"Map does not exist in your client" error

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

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

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

Hammer 1 is better

bro really think he 3klicksphillip
