SuperPowers

Random per-round super powers for CS2 — 142 abilities across 13 content packs, plus an optional scripted custom-rounds engine

---

SuperPowers rolls every player a random super power at the start of each live round — from lifesteal bites and instant-kill knives to grappling hooks, invisibility, and time rewinds. Built for the ModSharp framework, the abilities themselves ship as 13 separate content packs (142 powers total) that register into a lean Core module handling the round-start draft, HUD, and admin tools. An optional companion module, CustomRounds, can hijack a round entirely for scripted team/mirror-pool power sets, combos, and loadout overrides.

🚀 Install

Copy the build output into your ModSharp install (<sharp> = your sharp directory):

From	To
.build/modules/SuperPowers.Core/	<sharp>/modules/SuperPowers.Core/
.build/shared/SuperPowers.Shared/	<sharp>/shared/SuperPowers.Shared/
.build/modules/SuperPowers.Pack.<Name>/ (one per pack, see below — you need at least one)	<sharp>/modules/SuperPowers.Pack.<Name>/
.build/locales/superpowers*.json	<sharp>/locales/
.build/configs/superpowers/sp_sounds.json	<sharp>/configs/superpowers/sp_sounds.json

Optional companion module (round-hijacking engine, see How it works):

From	To

🧩 Dependencies

Uses the ModSharp first-party modules (ship with ModSharp): LocalizerManager (all chat/HUD text — optional, calls silently no-op without it), MenuManager (the ms_power picker and category submenus — optional, admin falls back to a "MenuManager is not available" message), AdminManager (permission gating for ms_power/ms_cr — optional, admin commands simply aren't registered without it), TargetingManager (target-string resolution for ms_power <target> <id> — optional, falls back to a plain name-substring match), and InputManager (binds the F key to the active-skill hook — optional, the ms_useskill console command remains the fallback trigger).

SuperPowers.CustomRounds.Core additionally requires SuperPowers.Core to be loaded — it resolves ISuperPowersShared in OnAllModulesLoaded and disables itself (logging an error) if Core isn't present.

External plugins:

Plugin	Required?	Why
AdminPanel	⚪ Optional	Adds "Assign Power" / "Remove Power" / "Reroll Power" as clickable per-player actions in AdminPanel's in-game admin menu. Fully null-guarded — SuperPowers works standalone without it.

Bundled: MessagePipe (in-process pub/sub for round and skill lifecycle events — ships inside the module).

⌨️ Commands

Player:

Command	Description
ms_useskill	Activates your assigned power's active ability (only powers with an active skill respond). Bound to the F key automatically when InputManager is loaded; this console command is always available as a fallback/alternative.

Admin (permission-gated). ModSharp's CommandCenter registers each of these under two names: the bare form for chat/client console (!power), and an ms_-prefixed twin for the server console / RCON (ms_power) — both call the same handler:

Command (chat/client)	Command (server console)	Permission	Description
!power	ms_power	superpowers:admin:power	No args → open the power-picker menu for yourself. One arg → a power id to self-assign, or a target to open the picker for. Two+ args → <target> <powerId> to assign directly.
!cr	ms_cr	customrounds:admin:manage	CustomRounds only. <round-id> forces that round next, list lists enabled rounds, reload reloads superpowers.customrounds.json.

Debug commands (all players, only when sp_testing_mode 1): .testhide [slot|off] hides a player from all radars, .testspot [slot|off] spots enemies on your radar, .testblind [off] blocks radar UserMessage delivery to yourself, .testjumpban toggles the JumpBan debuff on yourself.

⚙️ Configuration

configs/superpowers/sp_core.cfg (auto-generated on first run):

Setting	Default	Meaning
sp_game_mode	0	Power-assignment mode: 0=Normal, 1=TeamSkills, 2=SameSkills, 3=NoRepeat, 4=FullRandom, 5=Debug.
sp_skill_draw_duration	3.0	Seconds the slot-machine "drawing" animation runs before a power is granted.
sp_hud_display_duration	10.0	How long the assigned-skill HUD stays visible after assignment.
sp_round_summary	true	Show the end-of-round summary of who got what power.
sp_show_teammate_skills	true	Show teammates' skills in the HUD.
sp_testing_mode	false	Exposes the .testhide/.testspot/.testblind/.testjumpban debug commands to all players.
sp_sound_drawing_tick	""	Sound path played each tick during the drawing animation (empty = disabled).
sp_sound_reveal	""	Sound path played when a power is revealed.
sp_sound_skill_use	""	Sound path played when an active skill is used.
sp_sound_skill_ready	""	Sound path played when cooldown expires and the skill becomes ready.

Every power also auto-generates its own configs/superpowers/sp_<power-id>.cfg with a common set of ConVars — sp_<id>_enabled, sp_<id>_color, sp_<id>_team (0=any/2=T/3=CT), sp_<id>_maptype (0=any/1=de_/2=cs_), sp_<id>_freeze_disabled, sp_<id>_needs_teammates — plus whatever power-specific tuning ConVars that power adds on top.

configs/superpowers.customrounds.json (auto-generated on first run, CustomRounds only):

Setting	Default	Meaning
Settings.ChancePercent	8	% chance each round to roll a custom round instead of a normal draft (never on the match's first round).
Settings.CooldownRounds	3	Minimum normal rounds required between two custom rounds.
Settings.AnnounceSeconds	5	How long the custom round's reveal win-panel stays up.
Combos / Rounds	built-in defaults	The actual combo-power and round definitions (per-team/mirrored-pool/role-sequence modes, loadout/health/ConVar overrides, reroll interval) — fully data-driven and hand-editable; reload live with ms_cr reload.

configs/superpowers/sp_sounds.json (shipped, not auto-generated) lists .vsndevts sound-event files precached on map start so powers can reference stock UI/general/jailbreak/ttt sound events without their own precache entry.

🔧 How it works

At the start of every live round (skipped during warmup), RoundManager rolls each T/CT player a power from all currently-enabled registered powers, filtered by that power's per-map-type (de_/cs_/any) and per-team restriction and by the sp_game_mode assignment mode. The pick is revealed through a slot-machine "drawing" animation before IPower.OnAssigned actually grants it, and a power only receives the specific game-event callbacks it declares via RequiredHooks — every other power sits out that dispatch. Powers activate their active ability (if any) by pressing F or running ms_useskill, and PlayerManager resets known player state (speed, gravity, model scale, health cap, transmit hooks) as a safety net whenever a power is removed.

Before the random roll happens, SuperPowers publishes a PowerAssignmentStartingEvent that subscribers can intercept synchronously. The optional SuperPowers.CustomRounds module listens here: on a configurable random chance (and cooldown), it can override the whole round with a scripted power set — everyone the same power, a per-team pool, or a role-sequence mirrored across both teams — plus optional weapon/health/ConVar overrides and a periodic reroll timer. SuperPowers.Core has no knowledge of CustomRounds; it only sees the overrides the event handler fills in.

🧩 Public API

Other plugins consume ISuperPowersShared (resolve in OnAllModulesLoaded):

var superPowers = sharpModuleManager
    .GetOptionalSharpModuleInterface<ISuperPowersShared>(ISuperPowersShared.Identity)?.Instance;

var powerService = superPowers?.GetPowerService();   // register/assign/query powers
var sub = superPowers?.Subscribe<SkillActivatedEvent>(e => { /* e.Slot, e.PowerId */ });

The optional CustomRounds module exposes its own ICustomRoundsService the same way, for forcing or programmatically registering rounds:

var customRounds = sharpModuleManager
    .GetOptionalSharpModuleInterface<ICustomRoundsService>(ICustomRoundsService.Identity)?.Instance;

customRounds?.ForceNextRound("chaos");

📦 Build

dotnet build SuperPowers.slnx -c Release

Outputs each project to .build/modules/<Project>/<Project>.dll (the two .Shared projects build to .build/shared/<Project>/ instead).

🙏 Credits

The power roster originates with Juzlus/jRandomSkills (GPL-3.0), a CounterStrikeSharp plugin. 104 of the powers here carry an Original: reference to a specific file in it — the roster, the mechanics and much of the behaviour are theirs, and this project would not exist without that work. Ours are ModSharp rewrites rather than line-by-line translations (different framework, different APIs, different lifecycle), but that does not make them independent.
