Tools

  Loading Editor: With this tool, you can add images, descriptions, and icons to the loading screen.

• 

  SoundEvent Editor : A tool for more comfortable sound editing within the game.

• 

  BatchCreator: Allows you to edit multiple files with the same parameters at one time. For example, if you have a modular set with 15 models, it is tedious to use the default Model/Material Editor, but with BatchCreator, you can do it all with one click.

  Hotkey Editor: Edit default keyboard shortcuts and add your own!

• 

  SmartProp Editor: A tool that helps with smartprops creation in the game.

Introduction

Installation

Download the latest version from this link: Github

Unzip the archive and launch `hammer5tools.exe`.

Workflow

The entire workflow revolves around add-ons, similar to Valve Hammer 5. All tools operate using the selected add-on to streamline the process.

Addon tools

Import and Export Addons

Exporting and importing addons in zip format.

Create New Addon

Creating new addons with custom presets.

Default Hammer5Tools Preset

Default Hammer5Tools preset includes smartprops and practical mapping setup

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`.

Opening Game and Content Folders

When the content is selected, the corresponding folder opens in the explorer:

• `Counter-Strike Global Offensive\content\csgo_addons\##ADDON_NAME##`

When the game is selected, the corresponding folder opens in the explorer:

• `Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo_addons\##ADDON_NAME##`

No Steam Logon Fix

This script restarts Steam and launches the current addon. This is optional and can be configured in the settings.

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.
