[CSGO] The Personalization Update – 25th January 2017

The Personalization Update

We’re calling this week’s update for our CSGO Hack for Mac, the personalization update!

Until this update, the CSGO Advantage Tool has been very static. The tool works, but we didn’t expose much control over how it works. This changes today – almost all variable settings in how the tool works can be customized. Now it’s time to give you the power to tweak the tool (and it’s features) to perfection. Jumping straight into the changelog:

New Settings

  • Exposed setting for the ESP cycle delay:
    • Increasing this value reduces CPU usage, but reduces ESP reliability.
    • Reducing this value reduces flashing from the ESP, increases reliability but also increases CPU usage.
  • Exposed slider to control strength of flash reduction:
    • Increasing this value allows you to choose how strong the flash reduction effect is, where 100% means you won’t see flash grenades at all.
    • The default is set to 80% reduction – you’ll notice the flash effect but it won’t impair your vision.
    • 0% flash reduction is the equivalent of having this feature turned off:
  • Exposed settings for TriggerBot:
    • Tweak the detection speed (cycle delay):
      • Increasing this value reduces CPU usage when the triggerbot is enabled, but might reduce detection speed.
      • Reducing this value increases CPU usage but can drastically increase detection speed & reaction time of the triggerbot.
    • Exposed settings to tweak and control placement of fire-delays:
      • Allows you to control the small delay between detecting an enemy and triggering the shooting process.
      • Lowering this can drastically increase fire-rate for semi-automatic and automatic weapons, but may result in shots being fired too early, before the crosshair is far enough over an enemy.
    • Exposed setting to enable friendly-fire:
      • Disabled by default.
      • Useful when playing in all-vs-all games, where there are technically no ‘friendlies’.
  • Exposed settings for BunnyHop:
    • Tweak reaction speed (cycle delay):
      • Increasing this value reduces CPU usage but may reduce reliability.
      • Lowering this value might increase reliability but can increase CPU usage.
      • Recommended & default value is at 100000 – we recommend tweaking the other bhop settings if there are missed/delayed bounces, before lowering this.
    • Tweak the min/max bounce delay:
      • We add a small & random delay between jumps to avoid ‘perfect’ bounces – this is to reduce the risk of detection. We have exposed setting that allow you to tweak the min/max range of this random delay.
      • Reducing these two values can reduce the chances of ‘slow’ bounces or delayed bounces, but we recommend keeping some form of random delay by providing a range.
      • For example min:100 max:300. Smaller ranges are less noticeable, but still allow the tool to randomize the intervals between bounces.
    • Check player state before bounce:
      • Checks if the player is alive before triggering a jump. This feature is optional if you don’t plan on holding space while dead.
    • Bounce only when moving:
      • This feature is off by default.
      • With this feature enabled, the Bunnyhop will only trigger if the player is moving. The player will need to start moving before holding space, for this feature to be effective.
  • Exposed a “Reset Saved Features” action from the “Tools” menu in the menubar (see below in Enhancements section):

Enhancements

  • All settings are now remembered between tool launches.
    • Tweak your preferences to perfection and let the tool remember your settings.
    • This is completely automatic starting in version 2.2.23 of the CSGO Tool.
  • Slight performance improvements in TriggerBot logic.
  • Tweaked default TriggerBot delays for higher fire-rate.
  • Tweaked default BunnyHop min/max delays, reducing chances of missed/late bounces.

These fixes are rolled into The CSGO Advantage Tool version 2.2.23, available from the members page: https://csgomachacks.com/members

If you already have version 2.2.22, the tool will automatically allow you to automatically update from the tool. This is a new feature, if you experience any issues with the auto-update functionality please let us know! Please note that versions before 2.2.22 are not able to automatically update.

Thank you for all the feedback – keep it coming! We’re still full of tons of ideas, including more dynamic TriggerBot behavior depending on the currently equipped weapon, as well as a burst fire option for pistols. If you have suggestions or ideas, please let us know!

[CSGO] Bug Fixes – 19th January 2017

The Advantage Tool for CSGO

Your feedback since the release of our CSGO Hack for Mac has been extremely valuable, and we’re already working hard on both fixes and improvements. The following are the changes released this week, applicable to the CSGO version of our Advantage Tool:

Enhancements

  • Improved TriggerBot reliability – enemy detection is now much faster.
  • Improved TriggerBot reaction-time – shots are now fired much faster after an enemy is detected, at an increased rate. In future this will be dynamic depending on the currently equipped weapon.
  • Added Automatic Update functionality – the tool will now automatically check for updates and prompt the user if one is available. Updates can be automatically downloaded and installed without leaving the tool – the process is fully automated.
  • Added manual update check button in Help menu within menubar.

Fixes

  • Fixed memory leak in bunnyhop workflow.
  • Corrected auto-update issue, where prompt might prevent tool from launching correctly with the necessary privileges.
  • Fixed issue where TriggerBot activity would directly conflict with ESP, causing a flashing effect while TriggerBot is firing.
  • Fixed issue where BunnyHop might impact TriggerBot reliability.

These fixes are rolled into The CSGO Advantage Tool version 2.2.22, available from the members page:

https://www.csgomachacks.com/members

Automatic updates are available from this version onwards, meaning future update notifications will happen automatically while the CSGO tool is used. If available, these updates can then be automatically installed from the tool interface without needing to visit our website. Please note that versions before 2.2.22 are not able to automatically update.

Thank you for all the feedback – keep it coming!

The Advantage Tool – Now Available for Counter Strike: Global Offensive

It’s here! We’re pleased to announce that by popular demand, the advantage tool is now available for Counter Strike: Global Offensive, on our brand-new website: csgomachacks.com!

All of our advantage tools are available to all our customers who have an active membership. Your active membership supports our hard work and ensures the future of our developments. As long as your membership is active, you have full access to all of our currently available advantage tools, under one unified membership. No extra charges, no extra procedures.

This release is the result of months of hard work and testing, but this only the beginning. The foundation is set, and the initial features are in-place. This release embodies a continuation of our vision: to deliver a competitive advantage to your active gameplay, empowering you to better succeed.

Right now, the Advantage Tool for Counter Strike Global Offensive is capable of the following features.

ESP – Enemy Tagging

  • ESP highlights enemies.
  • ESP changes colour based on enemy health.
  • ESP highlights enemies through obstacles and walls, when the game provides the information to do so.
  • ESP highlights enemies through visual special-effects (e.g. smoke grenade).

Reduced Flash

  • Detects flash grenades when they affect the player.
  • Reduces the effect of flash grenades as they happen.
  • Displays the initial trigger when a flash grenade explodes
    • You’ll see that a flash grenade exploded.
    • Your vision won’t be affected by flash grenades.

TriggerBot

  • Automatically fires as soon as enemy enters crosshair.
  • Allies in crosshair are ignored.
  • Keeps firing as long as enemy remains in crosshair.

Bunny Hop

  • Triggers perfectly timed jumps when the spacebar is held, keeping you bouncing.

Interface

  • The main interface has a summary tab, presenting the state of the primary features, as well as a global kill-switch to toggle the state of the tool.
  • Individual tabs contain individual switches for each feature.
  • Future customization options will be exposed in each feature tab, in the near future.
  • Each option has a helper button, which provides more detailed information, as well as the hotkey bound to that feature:
  • The CSGO tool was built on top of our AdvantageTool framework. Features that aren’t game specific, such as the activation workflow, tutorial, and embedded support contact options, will remain consistent across all our tools.

Hotkeys

  • All features can be toggled from the interface.
  • All features can also be toggled in-game, using predefined hotkeys.
  • The help option next to each feature displays the predefined hotkey for that feature.
  • In future, the hotkeys will be customizable. They are currently hardcoded.

What’s Next – CSGO?

This research and development that led to this release comes with thanks to our customers, some of whom have generously supported us since 2013. This is only the beginning, for all our tools, and much work is left to be done. The features within our CSGO tool have much room for enhancement.

The feature-specific tabs of the interface will also be a place to further customize each feature. Customization options are not yet ready (at the time of writing this), but will be added in a future release, as well as additional features.

What’s Next – COD4?

We will continue developing and enhancing the original Advantage Tool for Call of Duty 4. The COD4 Advantage Tool, and the support it has received from our customers, made the expansion into CSGO possible. To this day customers are still actively using the COD4 Advantage Tool regularly. As long as interest in the COD4 tool remains, we’ll continue both maintaining and enhancing the tool for COD4.

Concluding Statement

There is much to do and much to be said. This is it for now, we’ll provide more updates on our developments as they bear fruit. COD4 and CSGO won’t be the only games in contact with the Advantage Tool for Mac.

Customers have already contacted us about other games. If you’re interested in seeing the Advantage Tool available for a favourite game of yours, we encourage you to contact us! We might already be working on it. If not, we’ll invite you for beta testing once we have anything available.

Happy new year, and thank you for the continued support!
