Hey guys,

How do I enable the insight spectator mod?

And is there a way to have the server name appear on the spectator view? I have donated my server for a few NSL matches and you can never see my server name on the twitch streams.

thank you

    In your webadmin interface you can add the insight in-dev mod in the mods tab, don't know about server name being displayed though, don't think that's an option, but you can change the default NS2Stats name to your servers name and then it will at least show up in the chat lines when teams ready up.

    I added the mod and added its ID to my -mods list on the server command line (6754cfe) but the old spectator mode is still showing up

    I just added it through the webadmin, dont need to put it in command line, try removing that bit and just making sure the checkbox is ticked in the webadmin, meaning that the mapcycle.json has been updated, then it should start working on the next map change.

    you can just add the mod id to the appropriate line of MapCycle.json i think. That's all that the webadmin does as far as i know.

    Insight is already a part of NS2 and is the UI for when you enter spectator. Some useful commands are:
    - 1, 2, 3 or space = Switch between the three views (third-person freelook, third-person follow, or overhead view)
    - Mouse1 = Draw on the screen from overhead view
    - Backspace = Remove drawing

    Huze (who is developing Insight) has also put an Insight mod in the Steam Workshop that includes the most up-to-date version of Insight that isn't in the official NS2 build yet. Its mod ID is "6754cfe" and you can run it like any other mod. The additional commands for that version are:
    - Q = Bring up the resource graph (not in official version yet)
    - Typing "Teams [Team1Name] [Team2Name]" into console = Puts team names at the top of the screen
    - Clicking Center white button = Switches team names per side
    - Top corner buttons = Add one point to that side
    - Bottom corner buttons = Remove one point from that side
