tiny-csgo-server

Tiny csgo server for logging on to steam game servers and establish connection with GC, being displayed on the game server browser, not for real server purpose. It's a fake server.

Dependencies

• hl2sdk-csgo
• Asio
• CMake

Compile and Run

Windows

1. Configure path of hl2sdk-csgo and Asio in build.bat.
2. Run build.bat to compile the project.
3. Move every file in bin/windows next to tiny-csgo-server.exe.
4. Run tiny-csgo-server.exe with necessary commandline.

Linux

1. Configure path of hl2sdk-csgo and Asio in build.sh.
2. Run build.sh to compile the project.
3. Move every file in bin/linux next to tiny-csgo-server.
4. Set the directory constains your executable to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
5. Run tiny-csgo-server with necessary commandline.

Command option notes

• -port Game server listening port.
• -version Version of current csgo, you can find this value in steam.inf with key name "PatchVersion".
• -gslt Game server logon token. If you don't set this, game server will logon to anonymous account and will not be displayed in the internet server browser.
• -rdip Redirect IP Address (e.g. 127.0.0.1:27015). If this is set, server will redirect all connection request to the target address. If this is not set, server will reject all connection request.
• -vac With this option to enable vac, without to disable.
• -mirror With this option to enable the displaying of the target redirect server's information and players. The server name, map, max players, player list etc, are going to be the same with the redirect server. The duplicated information is updated every 10 seconds.

Special notice if you're trying to use tiny-steam-client

You have to disable vac, which means without option -vac to fake online players. But you can change the information variable SERVER_VAC_STATES = 1 to fake a vac enabled status in the browser.

Example usage

Assuming the GSLT is 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813, game server port is 27015, server version is 1.38.5.5.

Windows:
tiny-csgo-server.exe -port 27015 -version 1.38.5.5 -gslt 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813

Linux:
./tiny-csgo-server -port 27015 -version 1.38.5.5 -gslt 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813

• If you want to redirect the players trying to connect this tiny server, assuming the target server is 127.0.0.1:27016

Windows:
tiny-csgo-server.exe -port 27015 -version 1.38.5.5 -gslt 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813 -rdip 127.0.0.1:27016

Linux:
./tiny-csgo-server -port 27015 -version 1.38.5.5 -gslt 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813 -rdip 127.0.0.1:27016

• If you want to redirect the players trying to connect this tiny server, and copy the information of the target server and online players, assuming the target server is 127.0.0.1:27016

Windows:
tiny-csgo-server.exe -port 27015 -version 1.38.5.5 -gslt 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813 -rdip 127.0.0.1:27016 -mirror

Linux:
./tiny-csgo-server -port 27015 -version 1.38.5.5 -gslt 5AB2234D9C490DCG406AET0763DE5813 -rdip 127.0.0.1:27016 -mirror

How to change server information

In src/common/info_const.hpp, you can change the following constances to change the information. In the future, all these information will be configurable through a cfg file. Note that incorrect value of some variables may keep your fake server from being displayed in the browser. Or you can just use -mirror option to copy the redirect target server's information, when -mirror is enabled, information below is overridden.

FAQ

1. Client can't redirect to the target server, always get #Valve_Reject_Connect_From_Lobby error.

For solution to redirecting not working please refer to this issue.

2. Player count of my server in the browser is always 0

You can manually control the player count outside of the Internet tab of the browser, where player has to be authenticated by the server then the count number will change. This can help to authenticate players.
