CSGO External Fullscreen Minimap

Disclaimer: This was hacked together in a a few days by me and is in no way bug-free, and neither is the source code of perfect quality. I will probably work on this in the future but for now this thing works and is enough for our CSGO Production @ CrapTec.

Features

• Observer mode (draw two layers side by side, good for observing on Nuke and Vertigo)
• Minimap mode (no names, big player circles and number)
• Both modes configurable in config.json
• Interpolation for smooth movement (can also be toggled if the minimap is used over network)
• Transparent clear color for usage as a minimap in the stream

Setup

1. Import your overviews. The overviews have to be in a format SFML understands, so .dds is not supported. I can recommend Paint.Net to convert the .dds overviews from CSGO or SimpleRadar to .png.
2. Setup your overviews in the config. If you just plan to use the map on the 7 active duty maps you are already good to go since they are already configured in the config.json.
3. Import your grenade sprites into the grenades folder. They are called weapon_decoy.png, weapon_flashbang.png, weapon_hegrenade.png, weapon_incgrenade.png, weapon_molotov.png and weapon_smokegrenade.png
4. Import the Gamestate Integration Config into your personal CSGO cfg folder at /userdata/x/730/local/cfg relative to your main Steam installation directory.

After that you should be good to go. As long as you have a demo running the minimap should get data from CSGO.

Future Plans

Here are some features I may implement in the future in no particular order:

• In-Program config editing
• Dynamic Zooming into the bombspots
• Various Bugfixes
• Mac/Linux Builds (This project already works on Mac and probably on Linux too, but I have to find out how to package macOS Apps and Linux packages)

Have fun observing!
