https://solcloud.itch.io/counter-strike-football

I started this project from scratch 3 years ago before cs2 was released.Now game has all csgo features implemented notably: multiplayer, weapon shooting, grenade throwing, package planting, round end win conditions, buy menu, scoreboard, radar, economy, recoil patterns, sniper rifle, proper hitboxes with backtrack support, inventory managment and legendary dust2 mapwhat is missing is better...

That would be huge, also really good original scenario idea for a future sci-fi film

I hope so, but game will be now on categorized as pegi18 just because of license using strong language :D

Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @10:53AM (#41925654)
thank you, no problem, I was recording videos as development was going to record progress
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @10:50AM (#41925624)
that actually sounds kinda cool, but do I have a permission to use it from you, or now anybody can trademark it so I have to be first to register in German with GmbH or smth :D
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @10:47AM (#41925581)
I want people to contribute to it, to make it better game, with no bugs, better visuals etc., repository also contains assets that was not made me, so I guess only thing I can license is source code written in programming languages that was written only by me, idk, I should be lawyer not programmer :)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @10:36AM (#41925462)
nicely written, thank you for kind words
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @10:26AM (#41925366)
that is exactly my meaning of open source but as you can see so many people disagree, but now I merged random license so it is 0K now I guess :)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @10:24AM (#41925336)
bring it :D now I thinks about suing anybody forking repo with licence change :D no seriously it is merged now so world is safe again :)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @08:57AM (#41924610)
Maybe I am just waiting for somebody to open PR for adding license cause it looks like everybody is lawyer these days
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @08:52AM (#41924563)
I agree, but being good both at programming and art is quite unique skill, then there is also whole audio category, animations,...
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @08:49AM (#41924533)
Yeah yeah yeah, I am hurting open source, my apology to open source
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @04:19AM (#41922959)
I guess history reasons
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @04:17AM (#41922946)
Yeah forget EA, this is football, thank you :)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Wednesday October 23, 2024 @04:12AM (#41922917)
If anybody is interested in in go for it, you can use server from repository and only code client side in godot than purchase bunch of cool assets and AAA game is born
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @05:05PM (#41918696)
I am fox on fire so Ctrl-W is tab close for me :) but yeah, there are ways (hacks) to make it run in web browser "natively" but only to some extend, I mean you can for sure rebind ctrl-w and other stuff or use chromium, but for me currently real LAN party is playing on electron :) web browser version is for testing and developing (for me at least)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @04:57PM (#41918612)
thank you!
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @04:53PM (#41918580)
there is indeed a web version like others mentions, I also provided a prebuild binaries for lots of os/arch at https://solcloud.itch.io/counter-strike-football (and anybody can open PR for more), for hosted webpage demo I can for sure hosted somewhere on public internet as can anybody else, so I will leave that as a optional exercise for a reader to host community server :)

I think most users will build from source or use provided pre-build binaries

Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @04:44PM (#41918512)
thank you! very cool, love is specific thing indeed, well we can always brawl for that rank one spot :D
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @03:26PM (#41917775)
thank you for kind words :)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @02:56PM (#41917469)
thank you, yes like you said all client-side dependencies are "bundled" inside repository, for reading client code start.js is good starting point (https://github.com/solcloud/Counter-Strike/blob/master/www/a...), for server side starting point is server.php (https://github.com/solcloud/Counter-Strike/blob/master/cli/s...)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @02:18PM (#41917097)
unfortunetely voice chat is currently not supported :D
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @02:14PM (#41917051)
actually game can be run using any modern web browser with websocket (without needing to use electron), I just provide electron as it have better performance (nodejs supports udp so no websocket bridge is needed) and key shortcut like Ctrl-W do not close tab instead you move forward while crouching :)
Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @02:10PM (#41917008)
maybe like a said I am not lawyer, I am just a peaceful person :)

for audio/visuals the game is currently pretty basic because I am not wearing all the game development hats, and 3D graphics/audio/animation is not my favorite things (but PR queue is open if anybody is interested), but it can be scaled to more complex map, I actually convert old "real" dust2 map to this game a _year_ ago and record video of playing it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIBVGZanVvU

Re:Show HN: Open-source Counter-Strike-like game on Tuesday October 22, 2024 @02:03PM (#41916938)
yes, client code is JavaScript using Three.js (https://threejs.org/) library, but since server and client is decoupled, client code can be implemented using anything, there is also php cli interactive interface, but most users prefer javascript one which is currently only one with real gui
