   1 # CS:GO Auto Radar
   2 Automatically make a radar with every compile of a map you do:
   3
   4 Specify the layout in hammer by adding brushes to a visgroup named 'tar_layout', and Auto Radar will do the rest.

  12 # Notes:
  13 - Some GPU's are having issues with the FXAA shader I used, if you radar is cut half way from the top for example or completely black, you should change the anti-aliasing mode in the tar-config entity.
  14 - Instances and Func_details do not show up as part of layout groups!!

  16 # Download:
  17 This tool requires Visual C++ 2017 redistributables, you can donwload them here (both should be installed if Auto Radar won't start):
  18
  19 - https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (64 bit)
  20 - https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x86.exe (32 bit)
  21
  22 Download the latest release of AutoRadar here: https://github.com/Terri00/MCDV/releases
  23
  24 Run the AutoRadar_installer.exe to copy all the necessary files into the correct locations. (Make sure hammer is closed)

  30 ### Configuration:
  31 ![](https://i.imgur.com/Fd046ZK.png)
  32
  33 Add a tar_config entity to your map. This defines your radars settings. It is not needed, but allows you to customize it.
  34
  35 #### Examples of the different effects:

  38 ### Detected Visgroups:
  39 ![Visgroup example](https://i.imgur.com/fXozJkj.png)
  40
  41 Brushes, displacements, entity brushes and prop_statics which are inside visgroups with these names will change the final radar in different ways. The only one required is `tar_layout` and should define your maps playable space.
  42
  43 | Visgroup name | What it does                                            |
  44 |---------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
  45 | tar_layout   | specifies the layout of the map (the floor)             |
  46 | tar_mask | brushes that should subtract from the layout of the map, use this on walls |
  47 | tar_cover    | brushes that should show up as cover in the radar    |
  48 | tar_overlap   | Brushes that should show up as two level overlaps   |
  49
  50 ### Detected Entities:
  51 ![](https://i.imgur.com/PyPuPh5.png)
  52
  53 Entities with these classnames get picked up by Auto Radar. They are not required, and the values will otherwise be automatically set.
  54
  55 | Entity name     | What it does                                  |
  56 |-----------------|-----------------------------------------------|
  57 | tar_min | Overrides the minimum height value of the map (place it at the lowest part of your map) |
  58 | tar_max | Overrides the maximum height value (place it at the top of your map) |
  59 | tar_map_divider | Seperates your map on the up axis, and will generate multi level radars |
  60 | tar_color | Use many of these entities (on the up axis) to create your own gradient. Set tar_config's gradient to 'use auto gradient entities' |
  61
  62 ### Generating:

  64
  65 The AutoRadar installer set up a new compile profile in the 'expert' mode. Enter the compile mode, and select [TAR] Generate Radar from the list. The hit Go!
