The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Authoring Tools, also known as an SDK, is a set of software utilities that allow you to create your own levels, and other gameplay elements. They include versions of Source SDK tools that have been updated to work with the CS:GO version of the Source Engine.
Availability
The CS:GO Authoring Tools is freely available on Steam to all Counter-Strike: Global Offensive owners.
Downloading and Installation
To install the CS:GO Authoring Tools:
- Restart Steam if it's currently running.
- Open the Steam window.
- Click on the LIBRARY tab and then the TOOLS tab.
- Double-click on the Counter-Strike Global Offensive SDK entry.
- The CS:GO SDK will download to your computer via Steam.
- Once it has been fully installed, you will be able to launch it in the same way you installed it (from the Tools tab).
What's included?
The package includes:
- Updated Hammer, the Source level editor (Hammer v4.1, Build 5774)
