Ich habe eben ein Blatt gelocht, nur so am Rande.


If you ask me, this wiki is about

  • distributing useful or potentially useful information about anything concerning Source
  • representing information in a way that works

If you ask me, this wiki is not about

  • forgetting that simplicity is the key
  • editing as much as you can (better one thought-out edit instead of 10 minor edits on a page)
  • minor format details that literally 5 people will acknowledge at all (some color, singular/plural titles, ...)
  • developing templates whose value is controversial but which make it considerably harder to edit actual content or which themselves are hard to maintain
  • single-handed terraforming ("wikiforming", if you will)
  • justifying any practice of the above e.g. by naming it "improving the wiki"
  • seriously expecting others to do something (do it yourself)
  • starting edit wars
  • knowing everything better
  • discussing without listening
  • being impolite
  • thinking that these bullet points cover all corner cases (you're old enough)

I try my best to

  • keep my number of edits low (adding information, typos, layout, ... can be done in one edit and described in the edit summary; it keeps the page history short)
  • not edit a page only to enforce my preference about whitespace, case, layout, color, ... (consistency is sufficient on a page, such edits just fill the page history once more and never will everyone be alright with some style)
  • not spread a large template system that no one will ever be able to fix if I am no longer here (imagine I have to work some day)
  • keep it simple (short and readable), which makes it editable
  • fix what I broke

I see this site as a collection of information that users and Valve employees have come up with (I mean this wiki has been internal for many years). This collection of information may be useful for someone else especially in terms of modding, mapping and any other creative work concerning Source.

To non-wiki editors: If you know something that isn't mentioned on this wiki, then add it at some good place. If you ask in the discussions and no one replies, then there is probably no one active (or you should think about what you've posted). Write new information as neutrally as you can and it will be ok. Note that all editors in the page's history might look at your edit. That's good if you're unsure of what you've written so they might be able to help investigate further. If you're lucky, no one is even going to read it because there are barely people reaching the small page you just edited. Anyway, when learning how to write wikitext that does something specific, don't worry, it just takes time and dedication to learn all you want; There are help pages, the real wiki's help pages and you can always view the source code of any existing wiki page that contains that thing you want.

To wiki editors: This is an old MediaWiki, not a modern site. There may be missing features but seriously, who needs them. This site isn't about copying the steam shop pages (edit: I found that interesting at first until it was impossible to edit actual content in less than a minute). I wouldn't complain about anything that isn't perfect on this site. In fact, we should be thankful for all the content that anyone has brought up to this site - I like to think that if there's information/functionality missing then there's just no one who knows enough about it. And we should be thankful that Valve does this at all, giving so many people a pretty big amount of freedom. Would you want to host, maintain and be responsible for a website where the entire world could potentially do what they want (while you have more important things to do)?

Thanks for your attention. I'm here since 2019 or so and slowly I started to understand what kind of pages exist and how the collaborative editing of this wiki works. I've never seen a toxic wiki editor of this kind before. Still I question why I write this text at all because the ones that would need to read this will never do so. I mean how do you want to talk with someone about the way they are if it doesn't work due to the way they are? And the best thing is if those call you a sorry person. Irony of fate. Whatever, I'm already wasting way too much time in this.

Making a map in CS:GO is a complicated and versatile task. For my recent maps, it consisted of the following points that I never managed to get in a specific order, instead jumping from any point to another. In other words, I'm writing the following to have some kind of to-do-list for a map (and I'll never use it). But isn't it exciting: Many of these bullet points are topics for themselves.

2024-01-30: Good memories, it was fun. It is a blessing that the knowledge isn't lost but can be applied to other sorse games, fortunately. It seems they had a good thought there by reusing an engine for multiple games. :)

In Hammer
In-game
  • After nav_generating, do a mass edit on attributes: nav_select_radius 999999; nav_(mark|clear)_attribute (NO_JUMP|STAND|JUMP);
  • Add missing areas and (dropdown-)connections, create ladders, remove NO_JUMP where needed, delete those impertinent jump areas on the sides of stairs. When done, do nav_analyze!
  • Guide a bot through tricky sections of the map, bot_zombie 1; bot_goto_selected;, use PRECISE and STOP or even NPC clip.
  • Add Place Names.
  • Add soundscapes. Use "origin" "%f, %f, %f" for positional playloopings.
  • Find good HDR Lighting Settings: Add an env_tonemap_controller and find good HDR settings in-game using ent_fire env_tonemap_controller Set... X" and transfer those settings to the entity in Hammer using a logic_auto.
  • Add a postprocess_controller in the same manner.
  • Find screenshot positions and save them using getpos. Probably good to do in spectator mode due to player origin vs. player eye height problems.
Outside Hammer
  • Add a radar image using TAR by adding floor brushes etc. to a visgroup. Correct the T-spawn/CT-spawn icon locations in the radar file, e.g. by opening the image, scaling it to 10n×10n px, moving the cursor to the desired location and transferring the cursor coordinate (and not saving the image).
  • Choose player models.
  • Add a mapname.txt.
  • Use AutoBSPpackingTool to pack stuff. In all VScripts and CFGs, always reference other files with their extension (IncludeScript("<vscript>.nut"), exec "<cfgname>.cfg") unless they should not be packed.
