Areas that need work

A script to automate installation (copying the nessecary config, putting the correct local ip in client.js)
A better way to parse weapons
Some testing on the bomb timer
Design/CSS and animations

Installing

Add Config to CSGO

copy

gamestate_integration_quickstartguide.cfg

into your csgo/cfg folder, locations for various oses below

Windows

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\cfg
Ubuntu (this may not be completely right)

~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/cfg

For other distros, you probably know what you are doing
Mac (I've never used a mac so this is just from the internet)

/Users/$your_username?/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/cfg

Install nodejs

"Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine."

Nodejs allows you to run javascript outside the browser, it is what is used to manage the post requests that CSGO makes to send the data.

The program constructs a simple web server, which processes the requests and hands the data off to the rest of the program to be analysed and used in the rest of the program.

TL:DR you need to install this!

Windows
1. Go to https://nodejs.org/en/, download the intstaller, and run.
Linux
1. I would recommend installing from your distro's package manager, this page sums up almost all distros.
2. You can also build from source.
Mac
1. Go to https://nodejs.org/en/, download the intstaller, and run.

Install dependencies

Run the following commands:

npm install yargs
npm install express
npm install socket.io

Configure network specific settings

In order for you to be able to access the information on other computers/phones on your network, you need to point the webpage to the computer you play csgo on (which will be refered to throughout this as the game computer).

This works best if it is a desktop with a wired connection, wifi may be unreliable especially if you have many devices connecting and disconnecting throughout the day. You could also give the game computer a static ip.

Run configureip.js in the Install directory

Use this ip in place of localhost when connecting from other computers/phones.

Only do this on the game computer!

Use It!

First, start the server.

Open a cmd prompt/terminal and navigate to the directory where the program is
type node server.js to start the server

You can now point any browser to http://localhost:6377 and use it.

If you want to use it from another computer/smartphone, go to http://{game-computer's-local-ip}:6377, where the local ip is the same one found from configureip.js on the game computer.

Warning

If when you first go to the page, and nothing is there, don't worry, The webapp needs to recieve some data from csgo before it displays anything. You need to switch/start csgo and change weapons or shoot a bit.

Flags

--log: Logs data from csgo to json.log
