New and updated Counter-Strike 2 pages, a Blender material blending guide plus a Blender section and a new look for the wiki itself.

New pages​

  • Game modes - how game_type, game_mode and similar convars select a game mode.
  • Bot behavior trees - the KV3 behavior tree system that drives bot AI, its file format and every node type.
  • Rush game mode - the 3v3 Rush mode, how its official map is built and how to make custom Rush maps.
  • Material blending on models - vertex painted material blending with Blender and ModelDoc, for Counter-Strike 2, Half-Life: Alyx and Dota 2. Contributed by redesaile.

Updated pages​

  • The cs_script API documentation has been updated to cover the latest Counter-Strike 2 updates:
    • The API was split into Console, GameRules and Entities alongside Instance. Most of the old Instance functions are deprecated in favor of these:
    • Instance.Precache and Entities.Spawn load resources and spawn entities at runtime.
    • GameRules can start and end warmup, read and add to team scores and end the round with TerminateRound.
    • Console can read and set convars of any type.
    • Hostages have their own CSHostage class and a full set of pick up, drop, rescue and kill events.
    • Bot takeover is exposed through OnBotControl, CSPlayerController.IsControllingBot and GetControlledBotPawn, and CSPlayerPawn.Reset restores a player to full health and ammo.
  • The Blender guides now have their own Blender section, the export guide moved there.
  • The tool texture list has the new Steam Audio full absorption and full diffuse textures in Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2, toolsskybox_occluder in Counter-Strike 2 and dota_nav_walkable in Dota 2.

Wiki changes​

  • The wiki has a new improved look, with per game theme colors. Thanks to xPaw for this and the next two changes.
  • The navbar game selector was reworked, and the Entity List now only shows entities from the game picked there.
  • Game tabs are more compact and show each game's icon. Content for a single game is marked as such instead of getting a lone tab, and pages note when content is not available for the game picked in the navbar.
  • Every page now lists its contributors and edit history at the bottom.
  • Stub pages are marked as todo in the sidebar.
  • Convars can be linked to directly from any page.
  • Pull requests now get a preview build of the site.
