CS2 crashes after swapping files

[krazzarkov]

Hey @AspectUnk, thanks for building this tool! I am currently trying to use it to modify the inspect.vts_c file that CS2 uses for the Panaroma UI. My goal is to modify the Panaroma UI so that inspecting weapons prevents automatic rotation.

Unfortunately, after swapping the file, my CS2 instantly crashes and forces validation of all game files on Steam.

I looked through the crash logs in the generated .mdmp file and it seems that CS2 marks my modified inspect.vts_c file as corrupt which is what causes the game to crash and force revalidation of files.

.mdmp output:

300(3.743025):  ***** Parsing error on panorama\layout\mainmenu.xml:  Failed to add include for file: s2r://panorama/scripts/inspect.vts_c

I used Source 2 Viewer to export the inspect.vts_c file from game/csgo/pak01_dir.vpk/panorama/scripts/inspect.vts_c. I then made some small changes the rotate limit of the _InitGlovesScene function and saved it.

After that I created a \game\bin\win64\swapping\panorama\scripts folder and added the modified inspect file.

I am using Xenos Injector 64 bit, using manual launch for the process cs2.exe with the cs2_swapping.dll file as the image. I am also running the game with -insecure enabled.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Apologies if I missed an obvious step or did something stupid, I am very new to injecting DLLs into games.

Hello! When you export a file, it is decompiled. After any changes, you need to compile it again (simply renaming it with the postfix “_c” is not enough). There are no tools for this in CS2, but you can use the Half Life Alyx tools for this

@krazzarkov ，Hello, I need to remove the text from the weapon inspection page. How should I modify the file.

Can you tell me specifically how to compile the vts_c file @AspectUnk
