An external, feature-rich radar for Counter-Strike observers with advanced player tracking, autozoom, and browser streaming.
Boltobserv is an external radar application built specifically for Counter-Strike observers, offering enhanced visual tracking and real-time player state information beyond the default in-game radar. It solves the problem of limited radar functionality by providing detailed player dots, automatic zooming, and seamless integration with broadcasting software like OBS.
Counter-Strike tournament observers, broadcasters, and content creators who need a more powerful and flexible radar tool for live matches or recorded content.
Developers choose Boltobserv for its superior visual clarity, real-time player state tracking, and flexible deployment options (including browser streaming), which are not available in the default CS radar.

Displays six distinct player states including flashed, shooting, and bomb carrier, with clear slot numbers for precise tracking, as shown in the dot table in the README.
Uses custom-made radar images from simpleradar for exact wall positioning and buyzone visibility during buytime, offering superior visual clarity over the default radar.
Autozoom feature pans and zooms to keep all players centered with safe padding, smoothly following the action without manual adjustment, as demonstrated in the GIF.
Supports infinite resizing, borderless mode, and browser streaming for easy OBS integration and network viewing, detailed in the features section.
Highlights key events like bomb plant and defusing with observer slot numbers, aiding quick camera switches during broadcasts, as listed in the advisories table.
Requires running separately from CS2, which may introduce latency or compatibility issues, and isn't integrated into the game client, relying on gamestate integration.
Setup involves copying .cfg files and editing JSON5 configs, which can be daunting for non-technical users, as noted in the Configuration section.
Primarily designed for Windows with an .exe file; the README doesn't mention macOS or Linux versions, restricting use to Windows observers.
The advanced features and real-time processing might be unnecessary for basic observation, adding complexity where the default radar suffices.
