Counter strike custom maps on osx

[chainprayer]

I just installed CounterStrike on steam for osx. Can I use custom maps? I have one that I made a long time ago. Is there a certain location I should put the files?

Try ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/"Your_user_name"/counter-strike source/cstrike/maps

Just dump the map files into that folder and they should show up. At least it is the case in the windows version.

Where can I find info on making custom maps for CS:S? That sounds like a lot of fun!

Works great, thanks! People new to CS on OS X: keep in mind that you must load up CS before this user name dir is created. I had downloaded CS:Source fresh off Steam on OS X and was navigating through the dir structure to place a new custom map inside, but my Steam user name directory didn't yet exist until I loaded up and started a game. Also, don't be surprised if you don't see the default maps in there; they must be packed away into the executable somewhere.

Yea, its pretty much exactly like Windows once you get to the Steam Folder.
