• spread (as in the frags being "spread out") is labelled for any 3k, 4k or ace where at least 15 seconds elapsed between two or more of the kills.

• fast is labelled for any frag where all the kills happen within six seconds.

• The timestamp listed at the end of each frag represents the time shown on the ingame clock when the first kill of the highlight occures.

• The tick listed at the end of each frag is the very end of the round prior (1000 ticks before the start of the target round to be precise). This is to prevent potential player model lags that can occur when using the "start of the round" button. Taking you to right before the round starts allows you to use the "next round" button instead, potentially preventing such lag. Including "demo_gototick" is meant for easier copy/paste to the ingame console.

  • The tick after the demo name (@123000) makes it so that you're taken to the start of the first highlight when using the playdemo command as listed.

• The round number is shown at the end of each highlight string, for example r25 for round 25.

• the x._ preceding every highlight is meant to be replaced by a number when you have recorded the frag, making the whole line appropriate as a filename for your video file. The information provided in the filename will then be easily searchable in your editing software, serving as helpful tags. For example:

  

How to use

1. Make sure you have Node and CS:GO Demos Manager installed.
2. Download or clone this repo.
3. Delete the example.json file in the json folder.
4. Open the demos in CS:GO Demos Manager and analyze them. Select all, right click and select "Export JSON". Move the files to the json folder.
5. Open your terminal in the root folder of this repo and write npm start. The text file containing the highlights for all demos will be created in the exports folder.

If you want to run the script again with different JSON files, move the already exported text file to a different location to prevent it from being overwritten.

Options

• If you want to get frags of a single player only, add their Steam ID as a second argument to getFrags in the app.js file:

  getFrags("./json", "76561198036024464");

Requirements

• Node
• CS:GO Demos Manager

Example

You can see an example of exported highlights in the exports folder.
