CS:GO Observer Custom HUD

Shout-out to RedSparr0w for base code and idea! You are the best, man.

How does it work?

Basically, CS:GO is streaming data to local app-server, that transformes data and then load it to local webpage.

To-do before running

• Node.js needs to be installed
• public/files/cfg/gamestate_integration_observerspectator.cfg needs to be placed in cfg folder in CS:GO location
• public/files/cfg/observer.cfg needs to be placed in cfg folder in CS:GO location
• CS:GO needs to run on Fullscreen Windowed (I know people may dislike it, but since it's only for observation, soo...)
• After running CS:GO and connecting to match (or replaying a demo, you can use this in it too), type to console exec observer.cfg, it makes everything default disappear besides map and killfeed

Configuration

//config.json
{
    "GameStateIntegrationPort":1337, //This must be the same as in gamestate_integration_observerspectator.cfg,
    "ServerPort":2626, //Some free port on your PC
    "SteamApiKey":"ABCDEFGIJK12345678", //Steam API Key, without it avatars won't work
    "DisplayAvatars":true, // true for yes, false for no
    "AvatarDirectory":"./public/files/avatars/", // Local storage for avatars
    "GSIToken":"120987" //This must be the same as in gamestate_integration_observerspectator.cfg
}

Examples

Video^ So this is possible to do with everything below.

Setting up video

How to make it run?

• Install NodeJS (nodejs.org)
• Download this repo somewhere
• Start RUN file (.bat for Windows, .sh for Linux)
• Run Overlay Exe from here: OVERLAY DOWNLOAD

There are propably milions of bugs and different things, so be prepared.

Admin Panel

After starting the code go to address showing up in terminal/command prompt. You should see Admin Panel divided in three parts - Teams, Players, Create Match and HUDs. In here you can manage data used in HUDs during match ups.

Teams tab

You can here define teams, their name, short names (actually short names are not use anywhere for now), their country flag and logo. Files for teams' logos are being held in public/teams/ and their filename should start from logo-.

Players tab

In Players tab you can define player's real name, displayed name, country flag (can also be set to "The same as team"), their team and, to identify players, SteamID64.

Create match tab

Here you can set type of match - is this a map of BO2, BO3 or BO5, score for teams and which team it should load to HUD. In case players are on the wrong side (left/right) there is SWAP button to quickly tell the HUD to swap teams' name, logo and flag. Additionaly, if during the match you decide that there is a type in team's or player's information, you can change it (for example on mobile phone, if you allow Node through firewall and you are on the same local network) and then in this tab click the Force Refresh HUD, to make sure all the changes are applied.

HUDS

This tab shows local HUDs. They are not validated whether or not they actually work, but if any of the files is missing, it will notify you in Warnings column. You can enable/disable each HUD to make it accessible or not. There is also HUD URL information - if you click it, it will redirect you to local webpage, that's serving as a HUD. It is useful if streamer wants to stream HUD separately - for example it can be added in OBS as Browser Source, then you just need to set it to HUD's URL. It might be useful for bigger streaming workspaces, like for setups with different PC dedicated to replays - one server app will manage every HUD on local network, because all HUDs are available all the time, if they are not disabled.

How to create your own HUD

Go to public/huds and copy and paste default folder and rename it to your heart's content - that's how your HUD will display in Admin Panel. template.pug - template of your HUD in PUG, required. style.css - css to your template, reccomended. index.js - engine of your HUD. Look at the default one and at the template to get the idea how it works.

In index.js the most important part is updatePage() function. It is required for any HUD to work, because this function is called when data is coming from CS:GO.

All of main action that will take place on your screen happens in updatePage() function, so when you want to represent some information you will need to write your code within its boundaries.

function updatePage(data) {
	//Here happens magic
}

data argument is being passed to it, and from that we can take actions, such as getting informations about players, map, round phases, etc. Below you will find detailed information about received information :>

data

Methods to obtain different objects:

Method	Description	Example	Returned objects
getTeamOne()	Information about Team 1 defined in Admin Panel	var teamOne = data.getTeamOne();	JSON:{team_name: "SK Gaming", short_name: "sk", country_code: "Brazil", logo: "logo-1527775279488.png", _id: "MT3xr6mb37o8Vbe3"}

getMatchType()	Information which matchup type is this	var matchup = data.getMatchType();	String: bo2, bo3 lub bo5
getMatch()	Information about match set up in panel	var match = data.getMatch();	JSON: {match: "bo5", team_1: {map_score:1, team:"auto"}, team_2: {map_score:1, team:"MT3xr6mb37o8Vbe3"}}
getPlayers()	List of players	var players = data.getPlayers();	(Array of Players)

    var round = data.round();
    
    // Setting teams' names
    $("#team_one_name").html(teamLeft.team_name); 
    $("#team_two_score").html(teamRight.team_name);
    // Those might be null if none specified, then use getT() and getCT() 
    
    //Setting teams' flag
    if(teamLeft.country_code){
        $("#team_1 #team_flag").css("background-image", "url('/files/img/flags/"+teamLeft.country_code + ".png')");
    }
    if(teamRight.country_code){

            let player = playerlist[steamid];
            
            let displayed_name = player.name;
            let real_name = player.real_name; // If real name isn't set, it will show player.name
        }
