MoveSpec Plugin for Counter-Strike 2

Description

MoveSpec is a CounterStrikeSharp plugin for CS2 that allows server admins to:

• Move all players to spectators
• Set team captains for T and CT
• Run a menu-driven player picking process (like a 5v5 pug system)
• Ensure fair and transparent team selection

Features

• Admin-only commands for all actions
• Menu-driven picking: Captains take turns picking players from the spectator pool
• Automatic team assignment: Picked players are moved to the correct team
• Chat announcements for all actions and errors
• Safe and modern: Uses MenuManager API and PlayerSettings for compatibility

Requirements

• CounterStrikeSharp (latest stable version)
• MenuManagerCS2 plugin (MenuManager [Core] and MenuManagerApi.dll)
• PlayerSettingsCS2 plugin (PlayerSettings [Core] and PlayerSettingsApi.dll)

Note: These dependencies must be installed and working on your server. See their respective documentation for installation instructions. Reference: MenuManagerCS2 and PlayerSettingsCS2

Installation

1. Build the plugin (or use a prebuilt release):
   • Place CounterStrikeSharp.API.dll, MenuManagerApi.dll, and PlayerSettingsApi.dll in a 3rdparty folder in your project for building.
2. Copy the following files from your build output (bin/Debug/net8.0/) to your server:
   • MoveSpec.dll
   • MoveSpec.deps.json
   • MoveSpec.runtimeconfig.json (if present)
3. Upload these files to:

   /game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins/MoveSpec/
   

4. Restart your server.

Usage

Admin Commands

• css_tcapt <player name> - !tcapt <player name>
  • Sets the Terrorist (T) team captain and moves them to the T team.
• css_ctcapt <player name> - !ctcapt <player name>
  • Sets the Counter-Terrorist (CT) team captain and moves them to the CT team.
• css_spec - !spec
  • Moves all players (except the two captains) to spectator and starts the team picking process.
  • Note: Both captains must be set before using this command.
• css_mscancel - !cancel
  • Cancels the current picking process.
  • Moves all spectators back to teams (alternating between T and CT).
  • Resets all plugin state (captains, picking progress, etc.).
  • Only works when a picking process is in progress.

Picking Process

1. Set both team captains using !tcapt and !ctcapt
2. Use !spec to start the picking process
3. The picking process begins, with the CT captain picking first
4. A menu is shown to the current captain, listing all available players in spectator
5. The captain selects a player from the menu; that player is moved to the captain's team
6. Turns alternate between CT and T captains
7. This continues until 8 players are picked (4 for each team), resulting in two teams of 5 (including the captains)
8. If needed, use !cancel to stop the process and reset everything

Permissions

• Only players with the @css/admin permission can use the commands.

Troubleshooting

• Make sure all dependencies are installed and loaded (check with css_plugins list).
• If you see errors about missing dependencies, double-check your server's plugin folders.
• If you see errors about permissions, make sure your admin group is set up correctly in CounterStrikeSharp.
• If !spec doesn't work, make sure both captains are set first.
