HLTV working for commander

2aimless

<div class="IPBDescription">and enable freelook</div>Well in ns the HLTV is kinda sucky because you dont see the commanding which is very interesting

and you cant freelook either

So there is the possibility to set up a special hltv??

Im speaking for the ns2 so especially moviemaking will be easier =)

I think being able to spectate the comm has been a big, overdue request, for a long time now.... I can only hope so!

IIRC, there is an issue with HLTV itself that had to be fixed on Valve's end to get it working, not likely to happen.

spectate-marines for commander? OK
freelook? NO

freelook would be overpowered - exactly knowing whats going on while marines are sitting in base is not fair at all

and marine-spactate would be too useless and would be a waste of the comms time

but, generally, HLTVs should have freelook and such, but thats not the threads request and topic... xD

Spectating the commander is a priority for us.

Coke, i think you completely misunderstood what he was saying. He was asking if, when viewing HLTV (hence NOT being commander and NOT part of the game), if the person could view the commander, or be able to freelook. This has absolutely nothing to do with balance, only spectating on HLTV.

ah ok sorry.. thought you want to give the commander the ability to spectate like hltv does plus freelook, not the other way around: giving hltv the ability to spec the commander, plus freelook... xD

yes that'd obviously be good, my mistake, i didnt say anything <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Prefix

spec_mode 3 or spectator 3 or something still lets you go freelook in spec..

its cumbersome to navigate with though

Being able to spectate the commander will help build everyones experience! Thanks for adding it. I often wonder how I will have to change to fix my mistakes, but without just "somehow knowing" I have no idea what changes to make. Now everyone can learn from eachother. Awesome stuff!
