How to Make S1mple Hands in CS2
To reproduce the hand position used by S1mple, you need to use the developer console and enter a sequential set of commands;
- Viewmodel_fov 68;
- Viewmodel_offset_y 0;
- Viewmodel_offset_x 2.5;
- Viewmodel_presetpos 3;
- Viewmodel_offset_z -1.5.
S1mle Crosshair
To use the sight selected by S1mple for your convenience, you will need to follow the following steps in sequence:
- Go to settings.
- Select game parameters.
- Go to the configuration tab of the sight.
- Click on the inscription “Share or import”.
- Enter the appropriate code: CSGO-U2G8z-sKCHw-FqsLG-zhbQy-VtjjD
- Click on the “Import” button.
An alternative method would require opening the Developer Console and typing (or semicolon) the following commands in sequence:
- cl_crosshairalpha 255;
- cl_crosshairdot 1;
- cl_crosshaircolor 5;
- cl_crosshairgap -2;
- cl_crosshairstyle 5;
- cl_crosshairsize 1;
- cl_crosshairusealpha 1;
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0;
- cl_crosshairthickness 0;
- cl_crosshair_sniper_width 1;
- cl_crosshaircolor_g 255;
- cl_crosshaircolor_r 0;
- cl_crosshaircolor_b 170.
S1mple sight settings will not ensure its marksmanship, so it can serve as a sample, but not a benchmark.
How to Install S1mple Radar in CS2
To set up the radar in the image and likeness of S1mple, you will need to use the developer console and enter commands sequentially (or through semicolons):
- cl_radar_always_centered “1” – centering by player position;
- cl_radar_rotate “1” – rotation is disabled;
- cl_radar_icon_scale_min “0.6” – the relative size of player icons;
- cl_hud_radar_scale 0.83 – relative total size of radar;
- cl_radar_scale “0.45” – relative scale.
This radar shows the whole map, and the center of the circle coincides with the position of the player.
HUD Settings
In-game visual designations used by S1mple can be repeated by entering a set of commands in the developer console (sequentially or with semicolon):
- cl_hud_background_alpha “0.5”;
- cl_hud_color “2”;
- cl_hud_bomb_under_radar “0”;
- cl_hud_healthammo_style “0”;
- cl_hud_playercount_showcount “0”;
- cl_hud_playercount_pos “0”;
- cl_hud_playercount_scale “0.845000”;
- hud_showtargetid “1”;
