The tree can't have actually been static... makes one wonder if viewers had got a better look at the lighting under that specific tree in that specific map version vs. other trees in the same map, if the twist would have been noticable
Mapping in the first source engine aka GoldSource was kind of simple. It did take a while to compile, but you could jump straight into your map after seconds on a small map and a few minutes on a larger one. Now I understand the Source mappers' nightmares, stay strong! :D
Much appreciated for all the videos you make. especially since the screen shot shows you compressing the files at mid night. Please take all the TH-cam money, you deserve it?
I loved the ending so much. I mean, it's enough that your videos are so informative, especially to a fan of CS:GO such as myself (I'm taking a break from the game though, I have my gripes with it). But, you add just that extra bit of humor in your videos that is subtle enough to not overstay its welcome. :)
Also add -StaticPropSampleScale 0.25 (16 = slow, high quality, 4 = default and 0.25 = fast, low quality) alongside -StaticPropLighting for faster compiles to help iteration.
i have no idea what is going on or even interested in these map stuff but im a loyal subscriber and watched it completely to the end. Nice video, warowl !
Hooray you delivered! (Zuthal from reddit here!). Full compile is a nightmare for doing completed maps, hopefully we'll get Source 2 sometime this year and it will get easier...
As well as the Nyue Nyuke, the recent update also improved the Source engine by supporting some cool Nyue features!" I love your accent almost as much as I love your content.
I have a bug report: sometimes in random rounds I can hear every sound other players make like if they were right next to me. I hear gun shoots, footsteps and grenade sounds and it make the game pretty confusing. Probability I'm not the only one who had this issues already.
hard to believe this engine is getting old. I remember being giddy seeing real time shadows pass over the player perspective hl2 pistol long before the game out. studios like respawn are still using their heavily modified source engine as well, but they built all their own tools for it.
i'm still surprised how revolutionary source was back then in 2004, Call of Duty looked like goldsrc meanwhile Half-Life 2 was something the latest computers couldn't handle, where everyone was complimenting the "photo-realistic" graphics and complaining about the extreme system requirements who knows, maybe source 3 will have so many details that grass blades will be bent and flattened from your feet
Dear, 3kliksphilip I am delighted to point out the wonderful throwback/reference of your show "How will he die". I absolutely loved it. The first time that I saw the killer tree was in Episode 17. Please keep up these GREAT throwbacks/references. -Your imaginary husband Derek (Derrick) :^) P.S. I am only assuming that this throwback/reference is from "How will he die?"

Great video, Phil. Shorter than the Nuke video but so much good info - I've just started mapping for CSGO and the lighting compared to TF2's is surprising. (Just gonna plug that I make mapping videos)
So that's why my props got black after the update! Have been working on a very cool map for loooots of hours, now i don't need to worry. Thank you very much :))
@3kliksphilip It should be noted that, you CAN get Flickering Lighting to work WITHOUT checkered boxes. You need a "logic_auto" with output > OnMapSpawn > "kill env_cascade_lighting" This will fix the checkers, and allow flickering lights. (at a cost)
Evolken Well, if they want to keep CS:GO for the coming years, it's a sacrifice they should make. It would be easier for them to import systems from other games running Source 2, because as we know it, Valve likes to transport idea throught all their games, and Dota 2 was already ported and I believe porting TF2 as well as CS:GO would benefit them. Also, Source 2 is said to be optimized even better, and that would benefit players.
So that's why my props got black after the update! Have been working on a very cool map for loooots of hours, now i don't need to worry. Thank you very much 👍
Hey Philip! I love your content,i watch it as soon as i can,and it made me so much better at CS (sadly,i have a potato pc,so,i can't do much about my aim) I hope you keep up the good work in the videos,and also, early congratulations on 400k subs. ^^
WOW! Thank you for this video, it helps me a lot on my projects. It's a shame that flickering lights are not possible in cs go and i did not know that till now! You dont know how much pain i had with the lighting in hammer.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO I tried to compile a map recently and all the props were black even though I didn't do anything differently from normal. I eventually got frustrated and abandoned the map that had been sitting in my folders for years. I'll try recompiling it with different settings soon!
Actually, Pathtracing is the most accurate lighting method available. However, it is so resource heavy that it is not possible in real-time. But, that may soon change. I am personally working on a real-time pathtracing solution for Unreal Engine 4. I may be able to also bring it to Source 2. If I am allowed to access the source code that is. Also, Global Illumination is actually a Raytracing technique. GI is effectively a way to set an "importance volume" around the scene to tell the engine exactly what needs to have GI and what doesn't. Out of bounds areas are outside of the volume because they are areas that the player will not see. Thus, they do not need GI. Ambient Occlusion can be performed with several different methods. The most common being SSAO or "Screen Space Ambient Occlusion". Some games use a variant of SSAO, like HBAO or HDAO ("Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion" and "High Definition Ambient Occlusion" respectively). The best type of AO currently available is VAO or "Volumetric Ambient Occlusion" which is an AO method that actually calculates occlusion based off of the GI of the scene, instead of approximating it using only the depth buffer like traditional SSAO.
since the new source update I often change every prop_static into a prop_dynamic_override. They still have the old shadowing and do look normal, using the fast complie. :D
After doing some small stuff in Unreal Engine 4 and Unity 5, I tried to make a map for CSGO. It's horrible to use in comparison. If Valve wants people to make maps for them, they can at least provide some good tools.
1:44 A similar thing happens with modding Minecraft (odd you mentioned the game), in the virtual game environment using MCP (Mod Coder Pack) everything with ambient lighting turns very black, even the actual light source!
I've got a very peculiar lighting bug for a Garry's Mod map I'm making. It's a full-sized map and it's seperated into layers - works fine. However in a recent compile, there's a nasty large block of just pure shadow that seems to be bleeding from one corner of the map.... on every single layer... which makes no sense (despite being an open-area map with seperated levels with the skybox texture acting as the walls and roofs) I've tried re-arranging and removing things but the big block of just pure shadow (even going into the new skybox on top in the exact same place!!!!) just won't go away. I've asked the hammer Dev discord and they've haven't the faintest clue of how it's even possible, and I've been trying for days. I wonder what's causing it?
hey 3kliksphilip could you pls make a new version of this video my static props are still black and some areas are way brigter than others while useing the same sun settings like vertigo dose
Through this series you have opened my eyes to the dangers of static tree props. Thank you.
you cant trust these props man
The tree can't have actually been static... makes one wonder if viewers had got a better look at the lighting under that specific tree in that specific map version vs. other trees in the same map, if the twist would have been noticable

+moronzz haha
I love how this video turned into a hammer tutorial at 1:55. We even got a killer tree...
Ah, the days without ray tracing
for some reason the props in the 3d skybox werent lighting up. Your settings fixed it my godsend 3kliks. I just did HDR only
People always say working with source or sfm is a nightmare, but this video really showed me what everyone was on about. Jeez
Oh gosh thank you so much for that video. I thought i was the only one getting these weird grapical bugs. You rock ! :D
So that's why my props got black after the update! Have been working on a very cool map for loooots of hours, now i don't need to worry. Thank you very much :))
I am howling at that ending, I literally cannot breathe it was just out of nowhere
So now we all know why Source 2 is necessary for CS to survive.
@3kliksphilip It should be noted that, you CAN get Flickering Lighting to work WITHOUT checkered boxes. You need a "logic_auto" with output > OnMapSpawn > "kill env_cascade_lighting"
This will fix the checkers, and allow flickering lights. (at a cost)
Valve, we NEED Source 2!
"The Lab" is coming out soon. That's Source 2. If they're releasing Source 2 now...
That means now they only have to work on the game.
+Cavi587 dota 2 used source 2
the_ lazy_engi I know, I'm talking about CS:GO in particular.

Evolken It's not really about graphics, it's about optimization. Also, like Phillip said, Source is a bitch when you want to be a map maker.
So that's why my props got black after the update! Have been working on a very cool map for loooots of hours, now i don't need to worry. Thank you very much 👍
The tree returns! A legend from an earlier era!
As soon as i started playing with hammer after a year Phillip uploads a new sdk video? coincidence?
The tree at the end scared me for life.
Hey Philip!
I love your content,i watch it as soon as i can,and it made me so much better at CS (sadly,i have a potato pc,so,i can't do much about my aim)
I hope you keep up the good work in the videos,and also, early congratulations on 400k subs. ^^
This actually same along exactly at the right time, I was trying to port a map to GO and was wondering what was going on with the props.
Ahh good old killer tree. I mised you.
WOW! Thank you for this video, it helps me a lot on my projects. It's a shame that flickering lights are not possible in cs go and i did not know that till now! You dont know how much pain i had with the lighting in hammer.
No more flickering or toggleable lights? That was my favorite thing to implement in maps back in CSS and Half-Life 2 :(
Luckily the older engine branches (HL2/GMOD/EP2) still support toggable lights
I love your SDK videos
Thanks for covering this, It's been a consistent problem.
dat jump scare :O 2spooky
Now we are finallay able to make flickering lights again, it works perfectly :D

Chiriac Puiu Yeah, but that won't affect CSGO until they port it over. They should get Source 2 out, Dota 2 already has it.
+Marcus Hagberg Valve wants you to buy cases, not build maps.
6Wildchild6 They want people to make content. Maps make them money as well because of operations, cases, etc.
