HELLO! What to do if it gives an error: GPU Lightmap Baking GPU ray tracing support required for GPU lightmap baking. If you're seeing this message despite having ray tracing-capable graphics hardware, try updating your graphics driver.
Hi, thank you for watching. Unfortunately, that error means that you don’t have a ray tracing graphics card in your computer, you are only able to build the map if you have one.
You can simply close that if you want, but it's used for when you block out a map or maybe putting objects on a plant site, you can fast build and play test in engine quickly. With the client already open it saves like 5-10 seconds to start time.
I don´t know if im only one, but when i try to build the map and then run it, I get this error: "Required map is missing on your client". I would greatly appreciate any ideas. Nevermind it saved the map somewhere in appdata, and runs fine now, i just dont know how to change the compiled map directory.
This is incorrect method of building geometry in source 2. Do not do this. This is old method where you basically have to render 6 sides of each block, its bad. Source 2 workflow is to build meshes and then flipping the faces inward our outward, depending on what is shown to the player
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. You are correct, but the purpose of this video was to just show how to just make a map, simplest it could be, so that the player can be in the visible world and move. And this method was quicker, simpler and more familiar so thats what I went with. I will use the correct method you say in my future videos of course, as those will go into more depth. Sorry if the method in the video caused any confusion or disappointment…
Meaning for my simple staircase I'm putting on a simple 1v1 arena map, I've got grid size set to 8 so each step is 8 units higher than the last. I'm using Blocks to build the steps, but based on your comment even the face against the floor exists when it shouldn't. My stairs are right side against the wall, so should I be using only 3 Quads for the top of the step, left side of the step, then the 8 unit tall front side of the step?
@@TheRealFlap Based on you info then I assume you should delete the faces that are not visible. So yeah, instead of having 6 faces for eact step you would end up with 3
You must've selected to always launch as CS2 when it gave the launch options, the way to reverse it is to go to the properties of the game, you can do this by right clicking the name on your list of games on steam and press properties. And when it opens in general options, scroll all the way down and press the drop down menu under Launch Options to change it from "Play Counter-Strike 2" to "Ask when starting game" and now when you press play it should give the options to select Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools. Thanks for watching and commenting, much luck in your mapping journey!
Yeah, as @weeerz said, I don't think that is available as of yet. Valve kinda rushed the gun on CS2 and haven't gotten all of the minor features done yet.
Where did you get those maps? Just wondering... the way you could play custom maps is by pasting them into Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\maps, for you it may be Counter-Strike 2 and cs2 instead of Counter-Strike Global Offensive and csgo as the file names. If it is a custom map you made it can be found in Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo_addons\(project name)\maps and choose the .vpk file there and paste it into the csgo\maps folder, again the Counter-Strike 2 and cs2 file names would apply for that directory too. To launch the map in game you would have to go to the console and type "map (mapname)" and enter that, though I am not sure why I am getting I problem personally loading the custom maps in CS2, after loading it just boots me back to the main menu. I will update this comment as soon as I know, and if anyone knows anything please comment also!
That sounds like a tough one… I think just from how Hammer 2 works I would doubt it, it would be better to start from scratch in Hammer and you could add custom models afterwards. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yeah, you gotta go to the Tools drop down menu on the top left, and click options all the way on the bottom. And in that menu that opens up, there will be different options groups, you have to click the bottom-most one, its Key Bindings, and there you can change them around to your heart's content. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@MolotovVids Edit : I found a way : it's in \steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\core\tools\keybindings then the file shared_tool_key_bindings.txt
I'm not sure, and haven't tried, personally I can't get custom maps to load for some reason but I see that others can, though I'm not sure if you can with friends. I believe the way it may work is for all friends to have the exact same map .vpk file with the same name in their Steam\steamapps\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\maps folder, for some people Counter-Strike Global Offensive may be replaced with Counter-Strike2 and csgo with cs2. But once everyone has the file, you should be able to join a lobby together and launch it via the console by doing the commands "map de_mymap" for example, or whatever the name of the file is. For de_dust2 it would be "map de_dust2" Again, I haven't personally tried this as custom maps dont even work for me I'm not sure why. Hope this helps though!
But where should .vpk file of compiled map be? Because i have been trying to check if i can play my map on normal version (without tools) of CS2, but for that i need .vpk file
@@mateuszmarkuszewski7258 Hey, sorry forgot to mention that part! You can find it in the folder Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo_addons\(whatever name your project has)\maps and all that project's vpk files should be there! And my previous reply already covered how to put it into the file to play in CS2.
Is this directed towards me? I have a 2080 ti, the bare minimum to run it lol. By my understanding an AMD card of equivalent standing should be able to work for CS2 map building. The exact specs are in the description. Thanks for watching and commenting
If there is a way to set that in the map code itself I haven't heard of it, the way I do it is I just enable those settings when I am launching the map itself, it lists those options on the left side of the screen when you are in the workshop map select menu. Thanks for watching and commenting! Best of luck!
im running on a none gaming laptop and its running csgo smoother than a baby game a baby game and yet i cant play the map note csgo run 559 to 493 frames per second bruh

incredibly helpful. TYSM
Thank you, thanks for watching!
is there a way to prevent cs2 from opening? It start the whole game for me (with the workshop tool)
Not that I know of, as I believe that is how it is intended, so that whenever you build the map, it launches in CS2
You can simply close that if you want, but it's used for when you block out a map or maybe putting objects on a plant site, you can fast build and play test in engine quickly. With the client already open it saves like 5-10 seconds to start time.

Good tutorial 👍

Hello pls help me when i click play the little pop up does not apear
nice timing. cs2 is out completely :P
Thanks lol, guess I got lucky! Thanks for watching!
Man do you know how to make the minimap for a CS2 map? I can't find anything on that topic, i'm desperate
I will look into it, and get back to you. If I find anything I will make a video for it too!
Hey I made a video on it if you’re still interested, thanks for your patience all the while
when i do the workshop tools. it just opens CS2
how do i publish a map to the workshop?
i think that it doesnt work yet
Yeah, as @weeerz said, I don't think that is available as of yet. Valve kinda rushed the gun on CS2 and haven't gotten all of the minor features done yet.
And how to play random installed workshop maps?
Im not sure, but I don’t think that’s a feature yet. Not sure tho, will update as soon as I know!
@@MolotovVids I found maps that are created after releasing full cs2 and I installed, but I cant found how to start.

Control E does not work for me...neither does any of the other shortcuts for some reason
is it possible to model map in blender and then import it in hammer? If it possible can you show how?
That sounds like a tough one… I think just from how Hammer 2 works I would doubt it, it would be better to start from scratch in Hammer and you could add custom models afterwards. Thanks for watching and commenting!
yes lol it's easy export from blender as fbx and import tbx with modeldoc in cs2 tools. this guy who made the video has no clue what hes talking about
Yeah, I wasn't sure on this topic, never done messed around with anything like it, so thanks for helping us out!

why did u buy amd rx knowing what it doesnt support ray tracing?

Could you make a tutorial for how you upload maps to the workshop
I'm looking into it right know, will have a video up by the end of the week. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Just got the video up! Check it our here: th-cam.com/video/EMvhOtnOKbg/w-d-xo.html
how do i set the roundtime and godmode? i wanna do a jump and run map

Scratch that I got the menus mixed up, for workshop I just enable it through sv_cheats in the console once I am in the map.

I conpletely forgot to mention that, yes unfortunately RTX GPU is required (or AMD equivalent I believe), I’ll add that to the desc definitely
