csRadar Manual
csRadar operates on a plugin based model, currently the only supported plugin is the 'csr_substance' module. Work is underway to port the entirety of TAR into a new plugin, with a GUI.
Rendering targets:
The following usage will render three output pairs, the visgroups 'layout', 'cover', and things with the classname 'func_buyzone'
Linux
./csRadar my_map.vmf -g "/path_to_csgo/gameinfo.txt" layout cover func_buyzone
Windows:
csRadar.exe my_map.vmf -g "C:\path_to_csgo\gameinfo.txt" layout cover func_buyzone
This covers basic usage, for more detailed information run csRadar with --help
Plugins

- rgba8(.tga) Normal map / mask buffer (RGB=Normal, A=Mask)
