Usage

Important

Steam must be running when launching the CSDK.

There are two main ways to launch the CSDK 10:

Launching Tools Directly

Open Reduced CSDK 10/Reduced Deadlock/game/bin/win64/Project 8 with Tools.bat. This will take you directly to the Asset Browser.

For easier management of addons, use the configuration tool:

Launch the configuration tool by opening Reduced CSDK 10/Reduced Deadlock/game/bin/win64/project8cfg.exe.

From here, you can:

Create a New Addon: Press the “Create New Addon” button and give it a name. This will automatically create two folders for your project:

  • content/citadel_addons/<your_addon_name>: This is where you’ll place your source files, so they can be used by the tools. It is the main folder you’ll be working in.
  • game/citadel_addons/<your_addon_name>: This is where the compiled versions of your assets will be stored. Compiled files usually end in _c (e.g., .vtex_c, .vmdl_c, .vdata_c).

Launch Tools: Once an addon is created and selected, press the “Launch Tools” button (or double-click on the addon’s name) to open the Asset Browser for that addon.
