RadGen

RadGen is a tool for Counter-Strike 2 This tool can generate highly customisable overviews for maps using meshes, entities and/or materials, by assigning them to specific Selection Sets. It can also be used in either a Material based workflow, or a Selection Set based workflow, supporting meshes or props in any setups.

Installation

Download the latest version here: https://radargenerator.github.io/

Usage

Download and run RadGen, in the top left click on File -> New.

Browse to the folder where your .vmap file is located, and select it. This will create a new RadGen project file (.radgen) next to your .vmap file. This will also copy the RadGen textures into the addon the map is located in.

You can use these two workflows in order to add map meshes and props to your radar:

• Material based workflow
• Selection Set based workflow

info

These workflows can be used interchangeably, and at the same time. There are no configuration changes needed to work in either way.

Mesh entities including Buyzones, Bombsites and Rescue Zones, are drawn by default, however special materials for these are also included for special cases.

tip

To generate the radar, click the 'Generate Radar' button on the bottom of the settings panel in RadGen.

RadGen Types

Name	Description
Path	The accessible ground areas the player can walk on.
Cover	The cover in the level, displayed on top of paths.
Overlap	The accessible path areas the player can walk on that are above a radgen_path area in the same overview level.
Remove	The inaccessible path areas. Stops the overview including anything in this area. A workaround to messy meshwork.
Buyzone	The Buyzones, these are usually picked up automatically from the map entity but a special material also exists.
Bombsite	The Bombsites, these are usually picked up automatically from the map entity but a special material also exists.
Tint	When an object has this type, it will use the hammer render color as its color, instead of the RadGen gradient.
RescueZone	The Rescue Zones, these are usually picked up automatically from the map entity but a special material also exists.

Workflow 1 (Material based)

tip

Apart from buyzones and bombsites or if in a RadGen selection set, RadGen will only display mesh faces with a RadGen texture applied to them.
You can apply the textures to any face of a mesh.

Materials

These are the materials that can be used with the Material based workflow.

Image	Material Name	Description
	radgen/RadGen_path	Displays a Path.
	radgen/RadGen_cover	Displays Cover.
	radgen/RadGen_overlap	Displays an Overlap.
	radgen/RadGen_remove	Pixels under Remove geometry will not be rendered
	radgen/RadGen_bombsite	Defines a volume as a Bombsite.
	radgen/RadGen_buyzone	Defines a volume as a Buyzone.
	radgen/RadGen_rescue_zone	Defines a volume as a Rescue Zone.
	radgen/RadGen_tint	When an object has this type, it will use the hammer render color as its color, instead of the RadGen gradient.

Workflow 2 (Selection Set based)

You can also use the same workflow as TAR and JERC (CS:GO auto radar tools), avoiding the need of using the RadGen materials, and allowing you to use your already placed meshes for the overview.

Most objects can be added to a selection set, for example: props, meshes, and mesh entities.

warning

Face selection sets are supported, but they might give strange results, use with caution.

Selection Sets

Name	Description
radgen_path	The accessible ground areas the player can walk on.

radgen_overlap	The accessible path areas the player can walk on that are above a radgen_path area in the same overview level.
radgen_remove	The inaccessible path areas. Stops the overview including anything in this area. A workaround to messy meshwork.
radgen_tint	An object which has this type will use the hammer render color as its color, instead of the RadGen gradient.
