Start a local radar

  1. Open Radar and turn on Enable Radar.
  2. Keep Bind Host at 127.0.0.1, HTTP Port at 36364, and WebSocket Port at 36365.
  3. Click Start Server.
  4. Confirm Status: running, then click Open In Browser.

The browser opens http://127.0.0.1:36364/ with the default HTTP port. The HTTP server serves the page, and the WebSocket server sends live updates. Both ports must be available and distinct.

Enable Radar makes the feature available. It does not start the server by itself. Turn on Start On Launch for automatic startup and Open Browser On Start to open a browser when the server starts.

Click Stop Server to stop serving the radar. Turning off Enable Radar also stops it.

Connect another device

  1. Set Bind Host to 0.0.0.0 to listen on the machine's network interfaces.
  2. Start the server if it is stopped.
  3. On the other device, open http://<computer-lan-address>:36364/, replacing the address and port as needed.
  4. Allow connections to both configured ports through the host firewall if required.

Use the computer's LAN address in the browser, rather than 0.0.0.0. Open In Browser always opens a loopback URL on the computer running the application. If you bind only to a specific LAN address, open that address manually.

Changing Bind Host, HTTP Port, or WebSocket Port while the server runs restarts it with those values. Reconnect using the new address if needed.

Adjust the display and save

Use Radar Appearance to change dot sizes, player names, buy zones, projectiles, smokes, zoom, and height indicators. Transparent Background is in the Web Radar section.

Save the profile in Config to keep server settings, appearance, and startup preferences. See Configuration.

Diagnose a failed connection

The Web Radar section shows the running URL, WebSocket port, viewers, frame count, and the last server error.

  • If Status: stopped follows a start attempt, read the error below it. Choose unused ports if the server cannot bind or listen.
  • If the error reports missing radar assets, restore assets/radar/ beside the executable from the build assets.
  • If the page opens but live data does not arrive, check the WebSocket port and the application's connection to CS2.
  • If another device cannot open the page, check Bind Host, the computer's LAN address, and access to both ports.

After correcting a startup failure, click Start Server again. The radar continues receiving snapshots while CS2 is unfocused.
