Configure the config

First, you need to configure the config for working with maps. We add a new config and call it «Counter-Strike».

Game data files (.fgd)

Now we need the files of the game files (.fgd). Since they are not provided in advance with the program, we need to download them here — http://gamebanana.com/gamefiles/5507 (many thanks to Matias-TM). Choose the path to them.

Configuring paths

Setting up the path to the game. They are almost the same as the config «Half-Life», only you need to specify the folder with the mod and the folder with CS maps.

Customizing textures

Next comes the texture setting. There is just, add to the HL standard (from the folder «valve») and to CS (the folder «cstrike»).

Setting up the compilers and useful websites

At the end we specify compilers, but here it is not necessary to tell any more, we specify as for Half-Life.
