CTF tournament spectators?

I was wondering if I (or other people) could spec while the tourney is going on just to watch? We could have rules and all that like you cant talk to the players, or especially join in on the game. Well I dont play chaos that often so it would be kinda pointless for me to join in on the tourney. ;)


If it cant happen than :(



feedback is appreciated

Yea, why not! Only thing i need to add is something to make spectators silent and teams locked. We have ability to disallow spectators or to make chat silent, but this is for entire game. I'll add something else now or maybe in 2 hrs. Let me see...

DONE! I added vg_teamLock, when admin sets it to 1 it won't allow team changes and spectators chat will go to other spectators only, except at intermission time. Took me 18 min, now i will test it...

UPDATE: works OK, teams are locked, spectators forced to spectate and everything they say is send to other spectators only; players can talk to spectators.

That's awesome, Dyn; thanks! So when my team gets our tails whipped in our game (or alternately, before we play), does that mean we can spec other games in the meantime? I wasn't here for the first tourney.

I wasn't present either, but team lock can be ON or OFF as needed. Admin should check if all is set and then lock teams. In case someone drops out and backup player is spectating then admin should unlock teams temporarily. About other spectators i see no problem with them spectating, server can handle this without problem.

Sounds good. What are the specs of the server, if I may ask?

AMD 3000+/1GB RAM, everything is compiled with XP optimizations and each Q3 server runs separate with priority over almost everything. For 9 year old game this is enough and it can run more Q3 servers if needed. Also we need to watch monthly expenses, so this is better solution than some server monster for twice the price and maybe 3% gain in Q3. For newer games it would be best to use E6750 or X2 5000-6000 + 2 GB RAM.

Thanks dyn, you da man lol.



But if you set a password on the server, then how can the specs get on? I dont know what you want to do but people could list themselfs as spectators on here or something then you could just pm us the password. Or however you want to do it. B)
