DANGER ZONE SIMULATOR

Latest Version Latest Release Date Total Downloads

A standalone app that partially loads maps from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and makes practicing rampsliding and using "Bump Mines" in CS:GO's "Danger Zone" gamemode much easier!

If you don't know what I mean with rampsliding and Bump Mines, watch this: https://youtu.be/xmAYeyYd4AE


Demonstration screenshot 1 Example of DZSimulator showing the CS:GO map dz_blacksite and visualizing surfaces that are suitable for rampsliding in green color, at a horizontal player speed of 1864 units/sec.

TODO: Add more images and/or video for demonstration


Requirements

Steam and CS:GO must be installed on your machine so that DZSimulator is able to load CS:GO maps.

To install CS:GO, go into your Steam library, right-click on Counter-Strike 2, then go to Properties -> Betas -> Beta Participation and select Legacy Version of CS:GO.

That's sufficient to jump around maps in DZSimulator. Optionally, DZSimulator can also act as a CS:GO overlay!

Requirements of using DZSimulator as a CS:GO overlay (in local server only)
  • CS:GO is in "Fullscreen Windowed" mode
  • CS:GO was started with the launch option "-netconport 34755"
  • CS:GO loaded a map locally (e.g. with console commands "game_mode 0;game_type 6;map dz_blacksite") and DZSimulator has the same map loaded
  • In DZSimulator's "Visualizations" menu, "Glidability for player in local CS:GO session" is enabled and you pressed "CONNECT" once CS:GO was started
  • In DZSimulator's "Video Settings" menu, overlay mode is enabled

To get started with practicing Bump Mines, I recommend watching this and this video!

Is this a cheat? Can my Steam account get VAC-banned for using this?

No, this is not a cheat and can't get you VAC-banned!

DZSimulator doesn't modify CS:GO's game files or injects code into CS:GO's DLL files, like a cheat would. Instead, it just reads CS:GO's map files to display them in its own window and then simulates CS:GO gameplay and movement within itself to figure out rampsliding spots, without touching the CS:GO process.

There's one more feature that needs to be explained: DZSimulator's ability to read the player's movement from within a local CS:GO server: Is this cheat behaviour? No! This works legitimately through CS:GO's launch option -netconport. It allows outside programs to connect to CS:GO's console, send commands and receive console output. So when CS:GO is inside a local server, sv_cheats 1 can be enabled and DZSimulator is then able to get the player position through the getpos command! This doesn't work in online matches because the server is required to have sv_cheats set to 1 in order for getpos to work.

Hence, you can't get VAC-banned for using DZSimulator.
