csgoverview - 2D Demoviewer

A 2D demo replay tool for Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

Package match povides a high-level parser you can use for your own demoviewer.

Current version is 0.6.0.

Check out the Roadmap where I keep track of ideas and todos.

Hardware Requirements

• Display with a resolution of 1920x1080 or higher
• about 1.5 GB of memory for a 32 tick demo
• about 5 GB of memory for a 128 tick demo

Installation

Windows

I did not sign the application - Windows will prevent the app from running.

1. Create a folder and extract csgoverview.exe into it.
2. Create a folder called 'csgoverview' in your user directory. (e.g. C:\Users\Username\csgoverview)
3. Move the .ttf file from the .zip archive into the csgoverview folder.
4. Download the overview images from this repository and put them into the csgoverview folder.
5. Right click a demo and select 'Open with' to open it with csgoverview.

Dependencies

Fedora

dnf install git golang SDL2{,_gfx,_image,_ttf}-devel dejavu-sans-fonts

Ubuntu

sudo apt install git golang libsdl2{,-gfx,-image,-ttf}-dev fonts-dejavu

Build

This project uses go modules. Make sure you have go version 1.12 or higher installed. Run go version to check.

git clone https://github.com/Linus4/csgoverview.git
cd csgoverview
go build

Cross-compiling for Windows

Using a Fedora 30 machine:

Dependencies

sudo dnf install make git golang SDL2{,_gfx,_image,_ttf,_mixer} mingw64-SDL2{,_image,_ttf}

Installing SDL2_gfx library

wget http://www.ferzkopp.net/Software/SDL2_gfx/SDL2_gfx-1.0.4.tar.gz
tar xf SDL2_gfx-1.0.4.tar.gz
cd SDL2_gfx-1.0.4
mingw64-configure
mingw64-make
sudo mingw64-make install
cd ..

Cloning the repository

git clone https://github.com/Linus4/csgoverview.git
cd csgoverview

Build

CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -tags static -ldflags "-s -w"

Required files

Put the font file (.ttf) from the repository and the required map overviews (next section) into a folder called 'csgoverview' in the user-directory (C:\Users\Name\csgoverview). You can launch the application from the command-line or right-clicking a demo file and selecting 'Open with' to open the file with csgoverview.

Get overviews

Use this repository (overviews directory), create a directory with mkdir $HOME/.local/share/csgoverview and copy the overviews that you need to $HOME/.local/share/csgoverview.

You can use other overviews as long as they are .jpg files and they match the naming pattern (e.g. de_nuke.jpg). Ideally, their size should be 1024x1024 pixels or larger.

More overviews are available here:

• alternative generated from game files
• Simple Radar

On Linux, you can convert images with convert image.png image.jpg if you have ImageMagick installed.

Executable

You can move or symlink the executable into a directory in your $PATH to make the program available everywhere on your system.

Example:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/csgoverview <path to cloned repository>/csgoverview

Desktop file (Linux)

In order to add csgoverview to your applications menu, create a .desktop file (use the path to the executable on your computer in Exec):

echo "[Desktop Entry]
Name=CSGOverview
Exec=/usr/bin/csgoverview %F
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=Games;" > $HOME/.local/share/applications/csgoverview.desktop

Usage

./csgoverview
    -fontpath string
    	Path to font file (.ttf) (default "/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf")
    -framerate float
    	Fallback GOTV Framerate (default -1)
    -overviewdir string
        Path to overview directory (default "$HOME/.local/share/csgoverview")
    -tickrate float
    	Fallback Gameserver Tickrate (default -1)

  [path to demo]

If you're using GTK, you can also double-click the executable and select a demo with the GUI.

After you've created the .desktop file, you can right click on a demo and select csgoverview when you select 'Open With'. This way, you can just double-click on a demo to watch it with csgoverview.
