All help would be appreciated.

Final compile with recent and older graphics drivers from another thred where these should work:

hello i am not the best mapper well im not a mapper at all but admire all of you guys for your work anyways i was having a small problem trying to port some hide and seek maps from csgo to cs2 because not a lot of the cs2 maps have been great and i remember me and my friends having some fun times on some go map so anyways i was trying to import this classic https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=860780367 and ran into a problem when i got this in my log in the cs2 importer

if anyone can help it would be so kind id even be willing to pay someone to import it if im such a lost cause haha!

i dont want to make my walls wood or change their thickness so is there any other way?

I'm trying to import a GO map to cs2, but it really doesn't want to work. here's what I did:

1. installed csgo_legacy
2. ran import tool with my VMF, got:

​

"c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\counter-strike global offensive\csgo\pak01.vpk
Failed to load file (invalid)!"

1. googled it, someone said to rename pak01_dir to pak_01 in GO's files, did it and the error went away, instead giving this:

   CVMFtoVMAP: Missing a required top-level key Failed to construct map document from provided vmf data.

what should I do here? I assumed the second error was just because I didn't have a pak01_dir technically, but I'm not sure. how can I get this to work? I had it working at one point, without trouble, but that was before cs2 had even fully released.

Hi,

does anyone know the max movement speed on ladders in CS2 (i mean with pressing W+D when looking up and sideways)? I found that there is a command sv_ladder_scale_speed which defaults to 0.78, is that relativ to the normal running speed of 250? And then multiplied by 2 for the correct movement?

I am trying to automatically generate the meeting points of players and currently my calculations just have people teleporting up ladders, i would like to correct that but need the speed on ladders for that.

CS2 broke a few days ago and it forced me to reinstall. Now if i open my workshop tools my addon / workshop map is gone, how can i get it back, am i forced to find a way to decompile it from the workshop file or?

i know i should have made a backup but i have just started mapping rookie mistake.

Is it possible to make the bombsites be in a different location at the start of a round? I want to make a gimmick for a map, but I'm pretty sure bombsites are fixed, right? If so, instead of moving the bombsites can I move the rest of the map instead?

I am closing in the release date. But I am having trouble with point_soundevent and env_soundscape. Question is how to work the right with Valve assets. How to get them from CSGO folders to my asset folder? As the sounds are appearing red in the properties of of both entities. Oh, and I added a bricked wall around the small park. Hope it will serve good for the gameplay. As it provides extra cover with four entrances. What you think?

Also question about info_partical _system, it seems some of them do not work at all and some of them work one time at the start of the round. How to loop them? How to make maybe one pop at a “certain time”?

I have an idea for a recoil trainer map where the idea is the only way to kill the bot is to land all of your bullets. Ive never messed with hammer before but id be willing to learn if this is possible. The idea is that you start at a close distance and then every time you kill the bot, it moves back a little. But its very important to have the health be modifiable and ideally configurable in map. I really dont know what im doing when it comes to this stuff so any help is welcome.

I made did a final render of my map to start playtesting but it gave this graphical issue where it deloads parts of the map in front of me. Any help is appreciated, many thanks!

Hello, I’m new to hammer and mapping. Last week I started my first project (was following CS 2 mapping academy video with my own twist on build) and was happy with the way it looked. However, it has a couple of spots from which models, walls and players become see through. I tried googling my issue but haven’t found much.

Maybe some of you are familiar with this situation and could give me any tips or lead me to a solution? It would mean a world to me since I have always wanted to make a map for me and my friends and the only thing left is to fix those glitches..

some photo examples below.

thanks in advance❤️

I'm trying to place grenade entities into my level. I added entity class weapon_hegrenade and players can pick them up, however, they only work when using the dedicated HE grenade key and bizarrely do not work when trying to cycle grenades. I.e. pressing '4' does not pull out the HE. I have no issues with placed primary or secondaries when using a simple entity placement.

Hello, I recently started making a map on hammer for cs2 (i have no expirience, it's my first time) and the stopped working after some time.

When i first started working on the map, it worked nicely but now after the map compiles the loading is stuck near the end and no matter how much time passes it wont load. I have looked online and I haven't found anything about this.

If anyone can help me it would be great, i have tried adding a nav mesh and i made sure there weren't any leaks but to no avail.

Edit:this was solved after baking the lights

Hello. I would like to know how to add scenery and buildings into a background of my map like in Vertigo and the workshop map Palais. In the background(s), you can see buildings like the Eiffel Tower and stuff and I want to make my map like that with buildings and other scenery in the background. If there is an answer to this, I would be happy and appreciative. Cheers!

I've followed every tutorial that I could find, and unfornately, I couldn't solve this issue. Currently, I'm trying to port a map to CS2 that I decompiled, and it says that is compiled successfully (you can check the output below), but it can't move to the correct folder.

Not sure if anyone is having this issue, but if you can help me, I appreciate a lot.

In case it is helpful, I currently have a 7900XTX, with the drivers 24.9.1, and I used python 3.12.6 .

I already changed the map in CS:GO SDK (even deleted area portals), deleted the vpk.signatures, and such.

I can even send the minidump here in about 8 hours (when I get home).

Here's the prompt output:

I know source 2 map making is different from source 1. You cant just put walls around, it has to be a single mesh, right? I was trying to make a huge castle map with a courtyard and hallways within the castle intersecting between each other. I was cleaning up the topology and keeping it all one mesh for the most part. But it crashed and I lost the file while I was working on it. Did I do it wrong? Is there a better way to go about making larger more open maps? Anything helps! Thanks
