The Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools is a set of software utilities available as a free download for Counter-Strike 2 that allow you to create items for inclusion in the Steam Workshop and your own custom game addons, such as new maps.
Note:The Animgraph Editor is not in CS:2 and it is unknown if they will be added. Map scripting currently exists in a limited form called source_ts, which Valve uses to implement game modes such as gun game.
Bug:[confirm]A newer version of the Nvidia Studio driver may cause tool crashes when trying to preview lighting and compile a map with Path Tracing. If you are experiencing crashes, you can try the stable version of the driver: Nvidia Studio 361.09 (Tue Sep 17, 2024). [todo tested in?]
