CFGBeast

BSP map configurator

Quick and easy automatic CFG file generator for BSP files in one go, with preset CVars that can be selected

Installation

• Download the application from the Releases section
• Place the executable file into your folder containing the .bsp files
• Launch the executable for initial setup, this will search for your Sven Co-op game install.

Usage

Input your CVars into the textbox by selecting preset CVars from the list, dragging in an exiting CFG file into the box, or putting them in manually into the box.

Select what you want to with the input CVars with the following buttons:

• Create: creates new .cfg files with the CVars. If the CFG files already exists, the previous files will be overwritten.
• Add: adds the CVars to the existing CFG files.
• Remove: removes the selected CVars if they exist in the CFG files.
• Delete: This will delete the CFG files from the folder.
• Change: Changes the current BSP folder

The list of BSPs selected are shown in the list on the left - you may uncheck BSPs so CFG generation/deletion is skipped.

You can also toggle skill CFG generation using the checkbox. This will show all the relevant skill CVars and will generate *_skl.cfg files.

Quick Create

• Dragging a .cfg file onto the CFGBeast executable will copy that cfg and generate CFG files for all the BSPs automatically.
  • MOTD files (*_motd.txt) will do the same thing

Building from source

Prerequisites

1️⃣ Install Rust

• Visit https://rustup.rs and download the Windows installer.
• Run it and accept the defaults (this installs cargo, rustc, and rustup).
• Close and reopen any terminal/PowerShell windows after installation.

---

2️⃣ Install Windows Build Tools The GUI uses the Windows API, so you need the C++ build toolchain:

Option A (Recommended)

• Install Visual Studio Build Tools.
• During installation, select "Desktop development with C++".

Option B

• Add the MSVC target via:

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Build instructions

1. Download or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Outerbeast/CFGBeast.git
