Adding Custom Presets

To add a custom preset, go to settings and click on the "Presets" button to open your presets folder. Copy the `valve_default` preset and modify the `.vmap` file. Alternatively, you can copy an existing project and rename the necessary files to match the add-on name in the format `xxx_mapname_xxx`.

No Steam Logon Fix

NCM Mode

NCM (`--nocustomermachine`) is a launch parameter that enables baking lightmaps with CPU and smartprops compilation. However, when CS2 is launched with this parameter, default assets will not be visible; only your custom assets will appear.
