Serialize/Deserialize Item Preview Data

Overview

This utility script converts or decodes a CEconItemPreviewDataBlock protobuf from CS:GO or CS2 into a serialized string. The resulting string can then be used in:

• Console commands:
  csgo_econ_action_preview 001807202C28F6FFFFFF0F3009388EC491DF03409505480050A4037008420FC456

Installation

npm install cs-inspect-serializer

Example use

  import { serialize, deserialize } from "cs-inspect-serializer"

  const serialized = serialize({
    rarity:5,
    defindex:60,
    paintindex:440,
    paintseed:353,
    paintwear:0.005411375779658556,
  });

  const deserialized = deserialize("00183C20B803280538E9A3C5DD0340E102C246A0D1");

Notes

• The quality field controls whether StatTrak appears in the item name. Ensure you set quality to 9 (Strange) to see the StatTrak name in addition to the counter.

• CashTrader-Pro / Monkeybizzcs also had the protobuff js file.
  They also have a similar module for C# here
