Overview
This guide will explain how to implement celisej567's version of CSM, since the guide on their repo isn't detailed and hard to follow
How to implement
- You must use
Mapbase 7.x source code only, otherwise CSM will not work.[Why?] - After downloading Mapbase source code, copy the server and client folders from the repository to your own computer, the files inside have to be moved to your (sp or mp)/game/ directory.
- Open server_base.vpc from the server directory with any text editor, and add $Include "$SRCDIR\game\server\csm.vpc" after the line that has $Include "$SRCDIR\game\server\server_mapbase.vpc".
- Open client_base.vpc from the client directory with any text editor, and add $Include "$SRCDIR\game\client\csm.vpc" after the line that has $Include "$SRCDIR\game\client\client_mapbase.vpc".
- Go back to your source directory and launch the creategameprojects.bat.
- Copy materials folder from the repository to the compiled mod.
- Open your steam library folder (usually
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common), and in the Source SDK Base 2013 (Multiplayer or Singleplayer) folder, copy the file fgd/csm.fgd from the repository to the bin folder. - Find the halflife2.fgd file and open it with any text editor, adding the line @include "csm.fgd" to the end of the file
- Now restart Hammer, and you will have the env_cascade_light entity available
