Hello! haven't seen a guide in herefor creating your first map so I thought I'd start a thread for that.
I'm Scara and I have made 2 maps so far, my goal is to keep going and make defuse maps and co-op maps.
This is not a guide for making a co-op or "competitive" defuse map, those do take a long time to patch and balance
This guide will cover the basics, you can use it to make your first CSGO map, something to warm up with your friends before comps or to settle 1v1s and alike.
Minimum System Requirements:
INSTALL AND PLAY CSGO BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, SINCE IT WILL INSTALL THE FILES YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR OWN MAP
Keep in mind that compiling your map does take a while, so if its your first map you want to do something small to test the "skeleton" of what you wanna do. (bigger maps and maps with more objects will take more time to compile, specially if you have a lot of light sources.)
Now that we have that out of the way, lets install the map editor:
- Once you have downloaded and installed that go ahead and open it, choosing Hammer World Editor
Assuming that everything worked out, you are now in the editor, I could explain what to do but at this point with the GUI its probably easier if you see a video explaining how to do it, so I'm gonna link it here:
these videos aren't mine, I just thought of posting so you too, can create your first map on CSGO
