steam-user game launch options

[flamecsz]

Hello! Is it possible for me to enter launch options when starting CSGO using the steam-user module? I want it to connect to a server and for this I need to enter the launch options, if not, with which module can I do such a thing?

No. It sounds like you're misunderstanding what steam-user actually does. When you use user.gamesPlayed(730), you're only telling the Steam servers that you're playing CS:GO. The actual game doesn't get launched.

If you want to automate launching CS:GO and connecting it to a server, you can do so by calling steam.exe with the -applaunch argument, like so:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 730 +connect 1.2.3.4:27015

what i want to do is get an account into a server without running csgo.exe, how exactly can i do that?

[Dr. McKay]

You can't.

I've seen a lot of people do this, they put a few accounts on the server and have them on the server and automatically drop the csgo cases.

[Dr. McKay]

They're running the CS:GO client. In order to bot-join a CS:GO server, you'd need to implement VAC flawlessly, and good luck with that.

there's probably a dedicated tool for those bots, but isnt using bots to farm ingame items against steam TOS?

they use sandbox/vms, not a bot. You cannot connect to official servers with a bot, but you can connect to a  dummy server, https://github.com/DoctorMcKay/node-steam-gameserver, which won't have vac enabled and you won't receive drops. It is possible to do that but no one will help you with that for free.
