Need help with trying to upload a map to the CS:GO Workshop. | Source Engine | Page 1

I'm trying to upload an old map that my dad and a old mate of his have made for CS 1.6 back in 2004. I have the .bsp file and I have tried uploading it through the workshop_publish command in CS:GO but I've been prompted with an error. (that I'll show) I have 0 Hammer or mapping knowledge, nor do I know what any of the errors mean, I'm just a casual player trying to get this old map working. I thought about decompiling the map so I could open it into Hammer using BSPSource, but I have been prompted with another error. I would love to get this map working and I'll do anything to get it to work.

#

This is the error I've received when trying to upload the .bsp file directly into CS:GO.

#

And this is the error I've gotten while trying to decompile the map using BSPSource.

#

cs 1.6 is a different engine

#

you can't just upload it or decompile it using source tools

#

it is a very different process to trying to decompile source maps, and is very much different in regards to like, its a lot harder to get something good

#

but possible, they are just different tools

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:40 PM

#

Yeah I noticed, I was going further into the rabbithole and noticed I'm doing it completely wrong, but I still don't understand

#

I used WinBSPC to decompile the map into a .map file but I don't even know how to set up Hammer 3.5

#

If it's possible I'll do just about anything, but I have 0 understanding

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

you could attempt to load the .map with csgo hammer but I doubt it will work

#

it has an option to load .map but a lot of those old options are busted

#

it might be easier to download JACK and load the .map and save it as a .vmf so it can load in csgo hammer

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

wild plaza you could *attempt* to load the .map with csgo hammer but I doubt it will work

did try it, nothing worked

#

I got an error and then it just crashed

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

wild plaza it might be easier to download JACK and load the .map and save it as a .vmf so i...

I'll try this

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

download jack and it should be able to load the .map

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:48 PM

#

#

#

I have this exact pop-up on hammer 3.5, but I don't know how it works

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

it shouldn't matter

#

just go to like edit by the configuration bar, and just make a blank configuration

#

you shouldn't need it for much else because you are only here to convert to .vmf

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:49 PM

#

haha yeah, just need the textures

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

good luck

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

I got these files from the download, but I don't know if the txt does anything

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

the textures are probably either in the bsp or are just stock 1.6 textures

#

regardless they would need to be ported to source/csgo anyway

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

Did they get lost during the decompiling using WinBSPC?

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

no

#

if they are in the bsp I think winbspc has an option for extracting embedded files

#

if they aren't there, they are stock 1.6 textures

#

I don't know off the top of my head

#

from the screenshot it looks stock

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:52 PM

#

oh yeah let me check it out

#

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

I am really not a goldsrc expert but it might not actually usually have embedded files...

#

I can't remember

#

but I'm pretty sure custom textures are usually distributed as separate files anyway

#

so they probably aren't custom

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

These are the texture files

#

And I'm not sure if they're default or not

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

AAATRIGGER and BLACK are but that's not really indicitive of anything

#

the rest might be as well but i have no clue

#

I have never worked with goldsrc and this is not a goldsrc server

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Yeah, sorry about that

#

If I knew anything about this I would've known it was GoldSRC and I would've gone there instead

#

Do you by any chance know anyone who does have GoldSRC knowledge and is able to help?

#

here you go

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

What do I do exactly with the files on the github repo?

#

do I download everything?

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

drop them in your csgo materials folder

#

Counter Strike Global Offensive/csgo/materials

#

then export your map from JACK as a .vmf

#

then it should be able to be loaded in csgo hammer

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

I know this may be stupid but I really don't know how to navigate GitHub, so I don't know how to download them

#

But if I understand it, the textures should work if I have them on the cs:go sdk, when I load the vmf I get from j.a.c.k?

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

the names might be different so you might need to replace them with the equivalents but yes

#

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

ah thank you

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 9:32 PM

#

Do I just extract all of these in here?

#

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 9:36 PM

#

yes

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 9:51 PM

#

I'm having an issue with the map itself I think

#

I got it loaded into CS:GO

#

I tried booting up the map but both teams were full and this is what it looks like when I spectate

#

I think the textures are still a problem here, as I tried it again and I was able to spawn this time and being able to walk around, because I did fall into the water in the middle of the map, I just can't see anything

dusk cloak Apr 7, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

do you have any lights on map?

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

What does it look like in hammer

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 9:58 PM

#

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 9:59 PM

#

dusk cloak do you have any lights on map?

Yeah, because my player model does show without issue

#

It's just the textures that aren't working unfortunately

#

I did import all the textures like this but I don't think I did this correctly

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:05 PM

#

that is correct

#

you likely need to just fix the references

#

for instance

#

find like crate25 wherever it is on your map

#

and then search for a material in your material browser called like crate25

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:11 PM

#

How would I exactly fix the references? if I find crate 25 (for example) on the map, what do I exactly do?

#

this crate and i think, all crates use this texture

#

#

but what do i do now?

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:24 PM

#

there's a replace button

#

select the face with that texture

#

press replace

#

it comes up with a new window

#

then you select the new texture to replace it with on the right side

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

oh fuck, this is gonna take ages

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:25 PM

#

i doubt the map uses that many unique textures

#

but I don't really know how else you would do it

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

NEVERMIND

#

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:26 PM

#

yeah it replaces all references

#

sorry if I wasn't clear lol

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

#

that's it too

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

yeah i figured

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:27 PM

#

okay this is gonna work

#

i can't wait, i'm really excited

#

Some textures aren't really working

#

#

this has no texture, for example

#

like this one does

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:31 PM

#

hmm

#

not sure why that would be

#

does JACK have a texture for it?

#

if you look at the .map

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:32 PM

#

i'll go ahead and check, good thing i never closed it

#

#

unfortunately not

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

sadge

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

wait no it's showing now

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

Pog

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

I opened surface properties and used the mouse tool to click

#

#

Nevermind, another problem

#

it should replace all references, but if it doesn't even have a reference in Hammer, it won't be able to replace anything

#

even if I do have the texture

#

I could technically paint them all individually though

#

I think?

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

yeah I'm unsure if you can do anything automated there

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

gonna have to manually fix texture positioning it looks like

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:37 PM

#

I could select multiple items

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

fast cradle

okay so it selected the whole thing, but the sides are a different texture

#

let me try and figure something out

#

yeah the sides are a different texture than the top and bottom of these pieces

#

#

But I'm not sure how I would apply them like that

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

try setting the texture shift exactly the same as what's in jack

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

It won't be perfect, but it would be true to the original

#

#

I just need to figure out the sides

#

in J.A.C.K I can just click on the sides without issue, I just don't know how to do it on hammer

#

I did it, for these pieces at least

#

I think I missed the RMF step, but I'm having fun retexturing all of this

#

#

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

👍

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 11:12 PM

#

#

ladders are weird

#

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 11:26 PM

#

ladders work differently in CSGO

#

They don't need a trigger

#

They need the ladder texture instead

fast cradle Apr 7, 2023, 11:35 PM

#

how would the game know they’re ladders though?

#

and could i get away with setting the texture as the ladder texture as well

wild plaza Apr 7, 2023, 11:59 PM

#

it just does

#

you can climb up any surface with the ladder surfaceprop, it acts as a ladder

#

so you only need to use the ladder tool texture

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:24 AM

#

The ladders still won't work, but I retextured everything and the map is playable

#

wild plaza Apr 8, 2023, 9:25 AM

#

What texture did you use for the ladders

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:25 AM

#

ladder3a

#

Half-Life

#

but there were triggers, because GoldSRC I think, I dunno

wild plaza Apr 8, 2023, 9:25 AM

#

yes

#

You need to have a other brush on top of it like the triggers

#

But in this case it is a ladder tool texture

#

If you search ladder in the texture browser it is a red tool texture and the picture just says "ladder"

#

That denotes a ladder

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:30 AM

#

So I would the trigger with that?

wild plaza Apr 8, 2023, 9:31 AM

#

yes

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:33 AM

#

I think I have an issue with the player spawns

#

Only on that side it shows the green player spawn boxes, and each time I did try it you could see I spawned on that side of the map

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:36 AM

#

fast cradle

Like here

#

I think the spawns were different in GoldSRC, but I'm not sure

wild plaza Apr 8, 2023, 9:36 AM

#

what type is the spawn entity

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:36 AM

#

#

#

I don't know if this is correct though

#

And both CT and T spawn on the same side

wild plaza Apr 8, 2023, 9:37 AM

#

the spawn points in CSGO are info_player_terrorist and info_player_counterterrorist respectively

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:37 AM

#

ah, okay

#

how would I be able to replace those or place them myself?

wild plaza Apr 8, 2023, 9:38 AM

#

select the entity and in that properties window you have there you can literally just change the type

#

At the top

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:39 AM

#

ah I see yes

#

I don't know what I just did

#

oh nevermind I clicked the wrong one, oops

#

now that that is fixed, I have to do the same for T side

#

Ah okay I see I think I got it right

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 9:58 AM

#

#

The ladder still don't work using the tool texture though

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 12:11 PM

#

fast cradle The ladder still don't work using the tool texture though

One side of the map does work, but the ladders don't show, and on the other side the ladders do show but they don't work

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

I think I fixed the ladders, time to try it out

#

is there a way to change the gamemodes after uploading the map....

fast cradle Apr 8, 2023, 1:42 PM

#

fast cradle I think I fixed the ladders, time to try it out

They both work
