CS:GO Keyframe Smoothing Script

Create smooth camera paths live in-game, in mere seconds.

You can manipulate any keyframe at any time. You can save your keyframes, or your compiled paths to come back to them at a later time.

Installation

Merge the /csgo/ folder with your /steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/csgo/ folder.

This only adds 8 files to your /csgo/ folder. It does not overwrite any game files, and it does not interfere with the game in any way. It is VAC safe, and you can only use this script on your own server.

Downloading

Method 1. Manually download the repo by clicking HERE. Then extract the folder.

Method 2. On Windows 10 17063 or later, run the install_keyframes.bat file to automatically download the script into your game files. It can also be used to update the script.

Method 3. In bash, after changing the directory below to your Steam game library directory, use the following commands to install the script into your game files.

cd "C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Counter-Strike Global Offensive/" && 
curl https://codeload.github.com/samisalreadytaken/keyframes/tar.gz/master | tar -xz --strip=1 keyframes-master/csgo

Usage

Use the console commands to load and control the script. You need to load it each time you change the map.

See the Default Key Binds section below for the keys that are available for you to use by default. These do not modify your settings. Optionally, bind your other keys to improve your workflow. You can find some examples at the bottom of the keyframes.cfg file.

Before uncommenting the key binds in the config file, make sure you have a backup of your own binds that would be modified.

Exported file

You can open the exported file (.log) with any text editor. You must replace L with blank, i.e. remove, for the data to work. Once you have cleared the exported file, copy and paste it in the keyframes_data.nut file, which you can also open with any text editor. The data name can only contain letters and numbers, it cannot start with a number. You can store as much data as you want, and load any at any time.

Implementation notes

Position and angle values are interpolated using Catmull-Rom splines between two consecutive keyframes.

FOV values are linearly interpolated between two consecutive FOV keys, independent of the pos-ang keys. Thus, the FOV data on the very first (KEY 0) keyframe is discarded. The playback starts with FOV set to data on KEY 1. If KEY 1 FOV data is omitted, it is set to 90.

Modifying the position or angle data, including camera roll, of any key requires compilation before seeing the changes in playback. Whereas for FOV datas, the user can see their changes in playback without having to recompile.
