HOT v0.2.3

Changes

EDIT: Updated to HLAEv2.189.5 adjusting to CS2 update 09.02.2026, download HLAEv2.189.5-HOTv0.2.3.zip

General

• Fixed some freecam input/cursor handling paths when RTP-stream/Shared-texture are off

3D Viewport

Added timeline-based campath editor, accessible via "Create" settings > Viewport-Mode:

• Gizmo to move keyframes in 3D space
• HLAE-sync to push changes directly to the game for previewing, use Time Offset to set timeline start relative to demo (gameTime)
• Scrubbing controls: Shift: snap to keyframe; Ctrl: preview via freecam; Alt: preview without touching freecam
• Tip: Hold Shift+Ctrl while scrubbing to snap the camera to a keyframe to override it
