📖 Description

CS2 Config Generator is a Python-based GUI application that helps users generate autoexec.cfg files for CS2.

In CS:GO, you could easily generate your game configuration file using a simple command in the console: host_writeconfig <config_name>

But in CS2, things got a bit more complicated. Your CS2 configuration files are now split into multiple .vcfg files stored in this kind of structure:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\{your_id}\730\local\cfg\":
    cs2_machine_convars.vcfg
    cs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg
    cs2_user_convars_0_slot0.vcfg_lastclouded
    cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg
    cs2_user_keys_0_slot0.vcfg_lastclouded
    cs2_user_keys_0_slot1.vcfg
    cs2_user_keys_0_slot2.vcfg
    cs2_user_keys_0_slot3.vcfg
    cs2_video.txt
    cs2_video.txt.bak

These .vcfg files use a JSON-like nested format, for example:

"config"
{
    "bindings"
    {
        "a"     "+left"
        "d"     "+right"
        "s"     "+back"
        "w"     "+forward"
    }
}

Unfortunately, this JSON structure cannot be directly used in autoexec.cfg, which is the traditional and convenient way of keeping your config organized and portable.

✅ Purpose of This Project

This program solves that problem by:

• Automatically parsing all relevant .vcfg files.
• Extracting and converting all user settings and bindings.
• Generating a clean and structured autoexec.cfg file - fully compatible with CS2.

The final autoexec.cfg output looks like this, in the classic CS:GO format, which CS2 still supports:

// Movement Keys
bind "a" "+left"
bind "d" "+right"
bind "w" "+forward"
bind "s" "+back"

// Binds
bind "mouse3" "toggle cl_crosshairthickness 1.5 1 0"
bind "mouse4" "toggle cl_crosshaircolor 2 4 5 0"

// Crosshair
cl_crosshairalpha 255
cl_crosshairgap -7

// Mouse
sensitivity 0.74
zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.8
hud_showtargetid 1
m_yaw 0.022000
m_pitch 0.022000
