Welcome to the CS:GO Weapon Balance Mod Subreddit! This thread contains everything you'll need to get started as well as in depth changelists and plans for future updates.

Welcome to r/CSGOWeaponBalanceMod

If you are unfamiliar with this project, I'd highly recommend watching the videos 3kliksphilip made regarding what the project is, what's changed, and how to install it.

#Updates

Future CSGO make break the mod (though this is unlikely) and will require me to put out a new version to fix this. I've chosen not to update the items_game.txt (item schema) file with each update as it would require users to download a new version of the mod each update. This may mean that future weapon skins, trophies, music kits, etc. might not work depending on what version the project uses. I will update the mod if major changes are made in the introduction of new items. Also I'll update it to the most recent version every time i release a balance update (indicated by the version number).

#Future Versions

As I gather feedback I plan to make more balance changes. I'll post any details regarding these updates on this subreddit. It will require players download the newest version to play on official CSGO Weapon Balance Mod servers.

Update: Version 1.01 is near completion. I can't give an estimated time of release, but keep an eye out for it!

#Help Support the Servers

I've had a number of people who have expressed their desire to donate to the project so I can continue to rent my servers for the mod. I've set up a PayPal which you can donate to here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=4XW36R6R3RYU4&lc=US&item_name=Nicholas%20Crew%20%28SlothSquadron%29&currency_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donateCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHosted.

Can you make a deathmatch one?

Pugs501•

That would be a Great Idea

crooney36•

yes please

I turned my 5v5 into a vanilla valve deathmatch server. (I don't want to put sourcemod on it so people can actual feel the unadulterated registry instead of sourcemod registry.) If you want to play it, it's 50.31.113.10:27050

So, about the installation. I did it different. You can create folder in "common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive" named csgo_wbm, then place the mod's "scripts" folder into it. So for now you have separated mod. To launch it you can add in csgo launch properties "-language wbm" and then play modded game. Or you can make shorcut to steam.exe and add in launch properties "-applaunch 730 -language wbm"

Wow that sounds extremely useful! I'll try it out for myself and see if everything works properly.

For servers? Maybe this wont work. But i'm not sure.

1
Ragnos•

It should. The servers have to validate all game files due to its sv_pure configuration. Games like l4d2 (very similar engine-wise) also use the language subfolder for things like content cencorship (eg. left4dead2_lv, Low Violence Versions for Australia/Germany) If srcds takes -language it should read the scripts like the game and we are gold. Even if i have to go the "simply overwrite" route in the end, i can atleast try it. srcds and the actual game aren't that different after all.

SlothSquadronOPMod Creator•

This works completely! Now I won't even have to include the unchanged files in the scripts folder. Big thanks! I plan on putting this installation into the next update of the mod (which shouldn't take too long as I've already received some great feedback over some of the more obvious changes needs like the overbuffed XM1014)

edit: Can you walk me through how I can make the shortcut?

1
Hasl_Incurious•

Em... i can't write it because bad in english, so.

You can make it 2 ways. Make a shorcut of steam.exe and then edit it like this.

Or you can add steam.exe as "Non steam game" and then edit it like this. If you asked about different think, please explain(?) it to me.

Well I've found an issue with this installation process. items_game.txt doesn't seem to be applying. This file is very important to the project as it contains information regarding the M4A1-S, USP-S, and CZ75 Auto. Would you know a way around this?

1
MamiZa•

can't you just copy the whole game to a different folder (for example csgowbm) and add the scripts then use -game csgowbm? Didn't test but It seems like it could work.

how do i join the servers?

2
SlothSquadronOPMod Creator•

Open your console and paste the information listed next to each server. So if you wanted to join the Dallas server it would be

password sloth;connect 108.61.109.12:27045

If you haven't already you need to enable the console under game settings.

Why are the servers 2:00/45 and why are cs_ maps in the rotation?

1
SlothSquadronOPMod Creator•

Start about the map issues. I set the map pool but for some reason, voting on a map often results in a completely different map playing. I'll try and fix that tonight.

As for the timers, I might change that in the future, but I want the main focus to be on the weapon changes for now.

bear__IsPepsiOk•

Absolutely incredible work. You've done a lot for the community and hopefully we can all learn from playtesting this. I'd love to see 1:45/35 timers in the server, snd I feel the dualies might be $50 or $100 overpriced but this project is mind-blowingly fantastically amazingly incredible!

You can't use this in any servers other than servers running this mod.

It won't get you banned, if you try and join a Valve server for example, it will auto-kick you from the server and tell you that your files don't match the server's.

u/SlothSquadron i cant find the cz files to edit them could you help please

1
SlothSquadronOPMod Creator•

CZ75-Auto, USP-S, and M4A1-S information is located in items_game.txt

They work a bit differently compared to other weapon scripts as they overwrite existing weapons. Basically, if a weapon variable is not listed it is default to the weapon it is overwriting. CZ uses the P250, M4A1-S uses the M4A4, USP-S uses the P2000.

If you are looking are are looking at my modded files, my CZ overwrites the FiveSeven.

JuliaNSaiyajin•

awesome i didnt actually think u would answer thats awesome tho i appreciate it

1
JuliaNSaiyajin•

u/SlothSquadron could you send me screen shots or ask 3kliks to make a tutorial for editing some of your own files for your own custom server or just to mess around? thanks!

skw4ll•

This look awesome, i can't try it for the moment because i don't have computer with me but it's look better than strange CSGO actual recoil.

Totally agree for M4A4, Valve would add a silencer to this weapons instead of adding M4A1-S.

The deagle from source was to easier, he just need a little recoil nerf.

1
FiNeXnicht•

Are you changes going to be implemented by Valve in the next updates?

sPLATTYYY•

While that would be fantastic, it's very unlikely that Valve would do that so soon. Hopefully they will consider adding at least some of it though.
