I've been following this guide on steam on how to port non-HDR maps to SFM
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=232594442

But while following the guide I noticed something. when loading a map (which is a decomplied BSP file). Everything's blank here (top image), so I assume there's nothing but blank canvas compared to the bottom image. So I believe I'm doing something wrong but I followed the guide exactly so I'm pretty sure this guide is out-dated but is there any better way to port this map to SFM?

Hi

​

I am new here, and I have just started working on a CsGo map from the first COD 1 called Pavlov.

Its a multiplayr map that I have played alot and I like so i figured I should give it a shot in SDK.

​

I have made maps before, cs 1.6, halvflife, cs source and so on. I not an expert but I know my way around in SDK.

​

Im looking for someone or some people interresting in joining me and making this together.

​

​

Please let me know if your interrested, remember, this is most for fun but I am still serious in making this map reality in CsGo

​

Regards

​

I make maps with the sdk hammer and wanted to check if it is my cake day on this reddit.com account. Will delete if it isn’t ;p

Edit: 5 years of wasting time scrolling amazing ~

The Valve Source Engine Hammer was always a favorite tool of mine. It was my favorite tool because it was a way to map out the game world. With it, I could create perfectly level-based worlds that looked and felt like my own. But one day, I went to use the hammer to map out a new area in the game, and it didn't work. I couldn't get the Hammer to work. I began to worry that my map might be faulty. But then I remembered that I always used the Hammer to map out levels before, and I knew that my levels were always perfect. I reopened the Hammer and created a new map. Now, my map worked perfectly.

Hi everyone

I am having issues with compiling my map

when i try i get the message Error opening c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\counter-strike global offensive\sdk_content\mapsnewtest4.bsp

Does Anyone have a solution?

Hi everyone.

I was wondering why some props in sdk are black. Not like when you render the map but in the prop browser.

So I'm making a map for CS:GO and I need to use a displacment for a blending texture. I've put 2 of them next to each other because using 1 big displacment is making it harder to edit and is overlaping with other floors in the level. As you can see in the 2nd screenshot the place where they meet is visibly darker than the rest of the texture. Is there a way of fixing it/getting around it so that this doesn't happen?
