collectible-996 missing

[Tom-jm03]

Hey, the collectible-996(Global Offensive Badge) is missing from https://bymykel.github.io/CSGO-API/api/en/collections.json

Also i noticed, that the provided links items_game.txt and csgo_english.txt are not existing anymore, i think they've changed the repository structure.

[ByMykel]

Yeah I need some free time to add the new CS2 items, I will add this one quickly cause is only one item.

Also I need time to update the README and docs. I got the items_game.txt and languages from this repo.

[Tom-jm03]

Thanks!

Do you also have different resolutions of the image? And what is the new item path? The old one was C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\scripts\items iirc

No

And what is the new item path? The old one was C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\scripts\items iirc

items_game.txt is inside Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/pak01_dir.vpk and the translations in Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/resource. I haven't found the images in game files yet.

[Tom-jm03]

Thanks. Found it.

[ByMykel]

If you find the images let me know 😅

[Tom-jm03]

You mean if i find the images in the cs2 game files? I think they are not there. I think maybe the game decompiles the models from the vpk file.

[ByMykel]

In what vpk file have you wound the images?

[Tom-jm03]

In what vpk file have you wound the images?

Under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\pak01_dir.vpk And the images itself in the vpk file under panorama\images\econ\status_icons\

[ByMykel]

You are right.

With ValveResourceFormat you can export them.

decompile and export:

Image i got:

[Tom-jm03]

Yes. How do you automate these tasks for your github repo if i may ask?

[ByMykel]

The tool VRF has also a CLI. So you can do this:

C:\Users\name\Desktop\Decompiler-windows-x64\Decompiler.exe --input "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\pak01_dir.vpk" --output D:\csgo_images -e "vtex_c"

This is an example on how to export them, the CLI should have something to also decompile them to .png.

In this issue I explain how to get de CDN url from the image (this might not work in CS2, i haven't test it)

BTW, there may be a better way to do all of this, but I only know this way.

[Tom-jm03]

Thanks!

This is the command to decompile and export the images:

C:\Users\name\Desktop\Decompiler-windows-x64\Decompiler.exe --input "D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\game\csgo\pak01_dir.vpk" --output D:\csgo_images -e "vtex_c" -d -f "panorama\\"
