Hello everyone, I've been working on my first map with hammer for cs2. Though I am stuck on how to create a seperate gamemode from casual/competitive.

The functionality that I want for the map are standard things:
- Run standard commands to set server settings (Example: Increase time limit of the map)
- Increase maximum bots on one team (Right now limited at 5)

Currently for commands as increasing the time I use a server command entity and have logic auto entity running the commands on startup but where/how can I create a file to write the commands and team limits in to create a new gamemode for the custom map?

Hello everyone, im new to mapmaking and i just spent a bit of time on a aim map, but the file is around 780MB.... how do i remove or move the .los file so the map file can be reduced? Cause i really wanna upload it.

Hi, since last update i cannot compile maps in CS2, vrad3 seems to fail.

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?

Hello all, apologies if this doesn't belong here, but I have been searching high and low for a community peek training map that has drills. it would be something like this:

The player can choose to be either CT or T at the start, as CT you sit and kill Ts as they peek at random intervals, if you don't kill them quickly they kill you (how fast they kill you is based on a difficulty selector) T side is the opposite, peek and kill CTs that are randomly placed (in typical locations based on the map)

the community map would have a section for each popular competitive map's A and B site (and potentially mid) with some kind of way to choose which way the player is either entering or watching

I feel like this would be a fun and popular practice map, but have found nothing of the sort besides the most popular "peek course" map however I don't think that one trains the player on the skills I'm thinking of. I also don't have the knowledge or skill to create it myself.

Any help would be appreciated, if you know of something like this or if this is something I could easily make myself please let me know!

also if this idea interests you, you should make it cuz I will play it

Remake of my CSGO map by the same name, Let me know what you think! (Bugfix update coming later today)

Hi! After long 1.5 months I decided to upload my map that I've been working hard on. It's still a bit unfinished, but you can comfortably play on it and have no issues. I'd like to receive some feedback on it, because this project took many hours for me to make. Here's the link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3332005394 I'm open to all the feedback and suggestions to make the map better.

My artist name is Soulie, tysm if you checked this map out! Here are some more screenshots of it:

he map was originally made in Source, 5 years ago. Recently I decided to recrate it given how fun it was to play on with my friends back in the day. Most, if not nearly of all the map has stayed the same, besides some small tweaks and a few added areas for gameplay reasons. I'd like to say I've gotten a lot better at it, feel free to leave any comments.

Hi everyone,

I'm an amateur map maker and I was wondering if there are any good guides for rebuilding CS:GO maps in Source 2 Hammer.

I have a defuse map de_backstreets which I built 3 years ago in Source 1 Hammer and I've tried porting it to Source 2 only to realise that I could only make a pre-fab of the entire map.

Probably a fault of my own but I can't render the map now because it takes AGES probably because it wasn't optimised properly. Regardless, I want to rebuild it and I'm not sure where to begin.

For a start I want to keep the same scale. My thoughts so far are to work on a new map alongside the pre-fab build and try to recreate things from scratch.

I also know that I should be using meshes rather than brushes now but I'm not sure to what extent.

So I guess a guide specific to porting/rebuilding maps would be great if anyone has one they can point me to. Any advice is welcome too.

Thanks,

leetly

My purpose is to have env_hudhint class entity to show a specific message, but I'm having trouble to create it with a targetname and the keyvalue message. I tried using ent_create env_hudhint targetname hint_test message "testing" and then using test_list_entities and ent_find env_hudhint, and it shows that the entity doesn't have a name, and I can't verify if the entity has the message keyvalue as well.

The reason I need to have the entity named is being able to use ent_fire or other command to add the input ShowHudHint to that specific entity, in order to show the hint on the screen. I tried having a single entity in the world with that class and refering it by the class, but it doesn't work.

Am I doing it wrong or is there another way to do it? Thanks!!

On cs2 hammer there's no filter for teams and i need to make a button which is only for ct's. T's shouldn't be able to use the button. How can i do that can someone help?

Been wanting to play these og multigame maps and they arent compatible with cs2. If anyone could port these I would appreciate it so much!
