Skin float cap

[quebeh]

Greetings, I'm trying to get the float cap of every skin that is currently in CS2.
As you know, some items have different float caps that limits what the possible float for an item is.
For example, the AWP Lightning Strike can only be Factory New or Minimal Wear, with float cap of 0.00-0.08, while gloves has a float cap of 0.06-0.8.

I am trying to retrieve that data and store it to a JSON file, preferably only when I need it. Is there any way of doing that currently?
All I've found online about this is from posts from 3 years ago, 9 years ago... and they all suggest looking at the game files, csgo/scripts/items/items_game.txt. Though this file does not exist anymore.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi. Actually I am already doing that here skins_not_grouped.json check min_float and max_float.

If you want to do it by yourself you have to take the items_game.txt and parse it to json like I am doing on my repo.

Then go throught all that data and map your own JSON like you want (check these files to know how I do for my API).

The easiest path to archive your goal is to take skins_not_grouped.json and map it removing everything but the attributes you need to get something like:

[
 {
        "name": "Desert Eagle | Urban DDPAT (Factory New)",
        "min_float": 0.06,
        "max_float": 0.8,
    },
    {
        "name": "Desert Eagle | Urban DDPAT (Minimal Wear)",
        "min_float": 0.06,
        "max_float": 0.8,
    },
    {
        "name": "Desert Eagle | Urban DDPAT (Field-Tested)",
        "min_float": 0.06,
        "max_float": 0.8,
    },
]

Also I have skins.json that is the same as skins_not_grouped.json but the data is grouped by skins.

Let me know if you have more questions.

EDIT: You also already have in skins.json the possible wears for a skin:

{
  wears": [
    {
        "id": "SFUI_InvTooltip_Wear_Amount_0",
        "name": "Factory New"
    },
    {
        "id": "SFUI_InvTooltip_Wear_Amount_1",
        "name": "Minimal Wear"
    },
    {
        "id": "SFUI_InvTooltip_Wear_Amount_2",
        "name": "Field-Tested"
    },
    {
        "id": "SFUI_InvTooltip_Wear_Amount_3",
        "name": "Well-Worn"
    },
    {
        "id": "SFUI_InvTooltip_Wear_Amount_4",
        "name": "Battle-Scarred"
    }
],
}

Ah, that's helpful. I went through the open-source tracking repo of CS2 and found items_game.txt myself, though the skin names are very messy and does not use the names shown in-game. I figured I had to use the paint_index and dump it all into JSON. But skins_not_grouped.json from this repo is definitely very convenient and saves time. Thank you very much!
