Installation guide

Currently the installation section is in project wiki tab, all releases can be found here

Project build

Pre-build steps

1. Get your CPython sources from official repo if you haven't yet, or perform git pull. Your working directory must look something like this:

   .
   ..
   wip
   | cpython
   | | PCBuild
   | | | amd64
   | CS2.KernelCheat
   | | kernelmode
   | | usermode
   | imgui
   | | backends
   | kdmapper

2. Install Python on your PC or build the sources.
3. Configure venv in PythonExtentions folder
4. Perform pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Run pytest in PythonExtentions folder

Make sure that you have the same folder structure as above.

Building usermode and kernelmode binaries

• Install Windows SDK and Windows Driver Kit by following the official tutorial
• Install DirectX SDK
• Clone the repository and whitelist it folder in your antivirus software
• Run Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 and open the project
• That should be enough, but you can tweak project settings altering project directories, etc.
• Run build from VS2022 GUI or by msbuild command

Build modes

• Debug. Basic debug mode, defines _DEBUG macro, more verbose and GUI contains some dev windows
• Release. Configuration, that's used by automation, can be used to build stable versions
• GUI_DEBUG. Defines _DEBUG, more verbose,. driver mapping is disables, memory reading disabled, overlay is enabled, creates blank window to overlay if cs2 window is not found. Pretty useful in development

Known issues

• libucrtd.lib(checkcfg.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol guard_check_icall$fo$ - remove security checks from compilation configuration
• Overlay lags. Decrease game video settings and lock framerate on 120 fps
• No overlay. Swith cs2 to windowed/borderless render mode

Mapping the driver

If native mapping from usermode.exe does not work or leads to system failure you can follow this steps:

1. Download kdmapper release
2. Whitelist kdmapper/project directory for your antimalware software
3. Download cheat release from Releases tab
4. Drag kernelmode.sys in kdmapper.exe If there're no errors - you're done installing

Please note that you need to map kernelmode.sys every time after your PC restart

Usage

Please, make sure that project directory is whitelisted.

• Run usermode.exe as Administrator
• Run cs2.exe

GUI is in development, this section will be written soon
