Game Mod with CSGO Source Engine?

You can't create a standalone game based on csgo. Differently from hl2, it's binaries are not open sourced, so you can't modify the code.

About making a mod, even the old sdk is broken, so you must make your mods by scratch, downloading the binary source codes from github if you want to do any code changes.

Last, I don't know how servers would accommodate a csgo mod in sourcemods folder, so you are in unexplored waters here.

@Xblah you talking about HL2 SDK being broken for modding?

No, I talked about how the Source SDK launcher is broken and how to CS?GO code is closed source.

I humbly stand to be corrected by my fellows and peers, but (for some reason) I seem to believe that CS:GO was developed using a branch of the Source2 engine by the good people @ http://www.hiddenpath.com/

Now, I can't recall whether this was the entire game, or simply the level editor that was then exported/parsed (Nuke, possibly) into the CS:GO SDK that we know on Steam.

The reason for my belief might be due to a talk at a conference or, something I just heard through the grapevine, and, this may be completely inaccurate and simple anecdotal rhetoric.
