SourceTV - copulatingduck - 06-10-2008
So I've been messing with SourceTV trying to get it running on Server #2. SourceTV is basically an ai spectator that records ALL in game actions, so no more of this "I need a bitch to be cameraman" stuff. I'm not sure we'll keep it on, as it's been confusing the server and changing slots numbers several times. Hopefully I can get it all worked out, and it will NOT break reserved slots (see Caff for an explanation).
For an example of what you would get, check the auto-recorded demos here:
http://captainmorgan.mit.edu/SourceTV/
Download a demo (try one of the larger ones, those might actually have people playing?) and save it to your tf directory, ie mine is:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\fuckduck\team fortress 2\tf
Once you've done that, load up TF, and type 'playdemo demonamehere' I'm sure you're all very smart, you can figure it out. Give the demos a spin, and see if you like the results. Again, this is not a SURE thing (it's been a bit buggy with slots), but I'd like this to be a permanent thing.

sorting through all those demos would be ridiculous, also make sure you don't run out of HDD space if you leave it on all the time
Re: SourceTV - Vandamguy - 06-10-2008
cool
but like caff said, many demos are many.
maybe enable it for TFT or FNF

ya, rcon access to stop/record might be the best approach as a designated person could control it when needed rather than having it run all the time
Re: SourceTV - copulatingduck - 06-10-2008
I definitely would not leave it on autorecord, this was just a test to get some footage. Also, on a sidenote, I have not been able to get this to work with rcon. It seems like you can only start it directly from the machine (or through ssh).
Re: SourceTV - ToiletDuck - 06-10-2008
really? so simply doing 'rcon record hithere' doesn't work?
that's assuming it's basically the same as HLTV
Re: SourceTV - copulatingduck - 06-10-2008
Yep, pretty much. I always get "SourceTV not active," but if I run it from the machine's console, everything works out just fine. Could be me though, I never claimed to be good with these compyootars.

Make a config file with appropriate commands, then execute that via rcon

Got a config, but won't take effect until map change/restart.
That's about as useful as turning on autorecord.

Also as I told you tonight, the reserve plugin boots it, so fooey
If you really really want to do it, I can alter the coding so it doesnt boot HLTV
