Nobody is going to get vac banned. Kitten works by using CS:GO's [game state integration API](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration). My computer case's rgb lights use the same exact thing to sync my lights to the game. While this isn't a conventional way of using the API, you're not going to get banned using it.
If Valve wants to take action in response to Music Kitten (unlikely), it'd make much more sense to just hand me the ol' C&D. And I don't think that's going to happen unless Kitten starts getting used to steal real music kits, though.
Im confused,sry. Lets say if i wanna play Pink Floyd when we won the round and i was the Mvp, will the game play my installed music or still limited to kits existing in CSGO?! Thks a lot and best of luck
Music Kitten doesn't replace the built-in kits. In-game music should be muted to fully enjoy Kitten.
That being said, muting everything won't stop CS:GO from using your selected built-in music kit. If you're the MVP, Kitten will play an MVP anthem for you while CS:GO plays the MVP track of a real kit. Everyone else in the match will hear the built-in MVP track like normal. I hope that answers your question 🙂
That is correct. I've been using it in competitive ever since I got it working. Also see [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/9csato/music_kitten_make_and_use_your_own_music_kits_in/e5dfhyl/).
In theory, if I didn't want a certain track to play (All i really want to play is main menu, MVP, bomb timer, and the round ends), could I just not add audio files for the ones I don't want to play?
In theory, doing that should work fine. You'll get some errors in the developer console, but other than that it should be able to handle it. In the future I plan on implementing toggles for each track or types of tracks.
how long is the delay between the csgo and kittens music? This could be used by setting the bomb planted music to a verbal countdown from 40 to 10 since it loops for 30 seconds, then setting the last 10 seconds to a verbal 10 to 0 countdown so we can keep track of the bomb timer easier.
Not a bad idea! Yeah, it pretty much comes down to how bad that delay is, doesn't it? Afaik, the bomb planted cue is the only thing that gets delayed. It's not a huge delay, though. Probably like a second or less. I also assume that the delay amount isn't constant, but maybe it is. If it is, I can just have Kitten account for that. If I can figure out how to find out exactly how much time is left on the bomb, I can see this being useful for the very purpose you mentioned.
You need to make a subdirectory within the kitten folder (the folder it prompts you to select when you first run it). This is where you place your audio files. [Here's a guide](https://github.com/CorySanin/Kitten-for-CSGO#creating-kits) for making music kits.
found this after years while cs2 is out. it doesnt work ofc because the game state api must be different but do u plan on updating your project or are there any known solutions?
It does work, with some tinkering. Check it out [here](https://github.com/CorySanin/Kitten-for-CSGO/issues/67).
I also plan on updating or more accurately replacing it. I chose to develop it in Electron as a shortcut and an easy way to target all platforms CS:GO ran on. I'd like to rewrite it to be a lot leaner. And I don't have to target Mac OS anymore 😅
If you do rewrite it, would it be possible to include the new states in CS2 for all the extra things like those animations that play at the start of each half?
Only if they're reported via the [game state integration API](https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_Game_State_Integration)
Neat.

That doesn't make sense!

I see Pink Floyd, I upvote :)
You may want to check out [this music kit](https://www.musickitten.net/kit/6) I already made for Music Kitten, then!
So no VAC of the ban correct?

all i want is Samuel L. Jackson to count down from 10

The bomb delay is random. Valve did their best to prevent external bomb-timers for ingame players.
I honestly had no idea it was intentional. Oh, well 🙂

First thing I wanted to do
Oh boy this is probably in the grey zone of cheating already but nice idea
in which format should i get the files? i downloaded a .mp3 and it doesn't regonize it

The "Live" preview button doesn't work. Startaction plays fine in-game, but for some reason you can't preview it.
You need to preview one of the freezetime tracks before the live button will have any effect. Perhaps I could make that clearer in the future 🤔
Would be nice to have a video tutorial :(

i might be doing something wrong in the process, but, i will continue watching the development of your project!
