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

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.
