In order for a map to appear in-game, you have to include a "gamemodes.txt" with the map added to it (including default maps I think).
Also it has a "t_models" and "ct_models" setting in the file (and "arm" settings), so it should be possible for maps to have custom Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists (and matching view model hands). Though there is no model path for these (maybe it's just assumed they're in player).
Also loading screens are required to be .swf files for whatever reason (I assume the color-changing background). Things like CT Spawn icons/hostage icons are controlled through the gameinfo.txt file.
EDIT: I'm going to see if it's possible to load two maps at once like this. So far I've only tested it with the Legoland map from Gamebanana. Going to put 747 in a separate VPK and see if both show up on the menu.

They're SWF files because Dota 2 and Global Offensive use Autodesk® Scaleform, which can leverage Flash for in-game stuff.
Basically, the UI is done in Flash. All of it. All the menus.
Alright. I put 747 in exactly the way I did with Legoland. However, it did not appear in map selection menu. I brought up the map list in the console and cs_747 was there. Upon loading it, my game crashed.
So until proper map support is added through the addon system, you should probably install maps WITHOUT using VPK addons. Because they fight for control and shit.
EDIT: I just noticed they were using Scaleform (after you said that). Now I feel stupid. But still, that means everybody who wants to make a map has to compile a new loading screen. In the mean time, I'm going to hex the Seal Team 6 models and reskin them to be red camo or something. Then see if I can get them to load by listing them in the gameinfo.txt.

[QUOTE=MacD11;35843856]im having trouble getting ladders to work on my map, any help?[/QUOTE]
you just make a brush around the ladder model and tie it to func_ladder don't you?
[QUOTE=Ermac20;35843980]you just make a brush around the ladder model and tie it to func_ladder don't you?[/QUOTE]
just use the toolsinvisibleladder texture and it should automatically assign it to the ladder visgroup, no need to make it into a brush entity
[QUOTE=Jammymanrock;35843996]just use the toolsinvisibleladder texture and it should automatically assign it to the ladder visgroup, no need to make it into a brush entity[/QUOTE]
for some reason the ladders were assigned but not working, so i reassigned them and it seems to be working.
[editline]6th May 2012[/editline]
actually it turns out i have to remake the brushes, i forgot i remade the brush in the ladder that ended up working :V
[editline]6th May 2012[/editline]
my ladder visgroup is missing on these new brushes, how do i fix this?

I accidentally'd the blur effect. Sorry about that.
Does anyone else get problems after running a map in the CS:GO Sdk?
Just joined a server where a clan on the team I was on were telling me to drop guns for them or "I'd get killed and votekicked."
I just crouch spammed, they killed me, got vote kicked.
Why did Valve have to add votekick, seriously.

That actually looks good, i dont see why this map will "ruin gungame forever"
So I hexed the Phoenix Connexion model and reskinned it to look similar to an NSG soldier:

Using the gamemodes.txt folder, I added this model and its variants to a friend's map, including reskinned hands:

Does it work in-game? You bet your ass it does.

Oh my god now i don't want valve to make it so you can choose your skin because it would ruin this possibility of greatness!
It has a downside, too. Pony/Furry maps with Pony/Furry player models.
But then again, zombie mode could have new player models, too. Take a civilian model, rig him to CT/T animations, throw him in.

Well yeah, i thought of that downside, considering there would be people out there who would make furry/pony player models.
But i still dont want valve removing this, because im sure alot of people will use this for good purposes. Though if there was some way to choose your playermodel along with the ability to choose a custom model that goes with the map, that would be even better.
If you enjoy armsrace but are getting bored of the small amount of maps available you could try this server which is running demolition maps with armsrace: 203.33.121.205:27023.
It actually works quite well, particularly when the server is full. One of the biggest issues is the spawns are not designed with respawns in mind so occasionally spawn camping can be annoying. For the most part it's fun. Not sure how common these servers are but this one is located in Australia so you might need to tolerate a high ping if you live far away.
Edit: Also while it may come across as if I am advertising I don't own the server and am not associated with the community, I just enjoy the configuration.

Oh great, all the idiots have started posting the SDK mailing list.
So, gamemodes.txt allows you "tell" to the game what type of map is loading, the playermodels, the loading image and much more? It looks interesting, although i need a better explanation.
(or better, post the entire gamemodes.txt).
I find mapping in Hammer really fun but I don't know much about it. Also, anyone knows why the weapon entities don't spawn in-game? And how does one select a "buy" territory?
Just my luck... I got scammed.
I've should have listened to my gut, but no. Does anyone know what I can do now?
I know this might sound stupid now, but I and a user named Killing Machine agreed to gift each other our parts of the deal. I give him Payday, he gives me CS:GO beta. But as soon I've done my part of the deal, he unfriend me and changed his steam name.

I'm not really experienced with steam trades (seeing as this was my first one), and there were some red flags that I stupidly decided to ignore
(like how he insisted to use the Steam gifting system, because his CS:GO beta key is "non-tradeable"). To be honest, the more I look at it,
the more I realize how stupid I was. I've just contacted Steam support, not to get my game back, but to report him to Valve.
I honestly don't know, what to do now, seeing as this was supposed to be a birthday gift for a close friend of mine.
I guess the only thing I can do now, is learn from my mistakes.

The weapon entities, indeed, don't seem to spawn properly themselves yet. They better fix that soon.
To make a buy zone, create a brush with the tools/toolstrigger texture, where you want the buy zone to be. Make sure the ground the players stand on is also included in this zone (don't make the buy zone hover a few inches above the ground).
Then, select this brush and press ctrl-T to turn it into an entity. Change its entity type to func_buyzone, select which team it's for, and voila. A buyzone.
