Prevent ghosting in KTX ?
After seeing some undesired things in NQR regarding possible ghosting, KTX has been modified so that players can get rid of unwanted spectators during league games.
Basically it goes like this: Players go the server to play their league game and there are suspicious looking spectators around, those damn bastards! To solve this problem you can try the following:

1) The elected admin way:

- Get elected.
- /nospecs
- Watch spectators get nuked!

2) The voting way:
http://pici.se/pictures/neErgejxP.jpg

- Players can vote /nospecs (no admin is required)
- When at least 51% of the players agree
- See the censorship in action!

3) The REAL admin way:
http://pici.se/pictures/mOZZtGWip.jpg

- Use your VIP password to get real admin status
- /nospecs
- See how spectators get terminated!


This affects spectators only. If you have VIP status not_kickable, real_admin or rcon_admin you won't be kicked away but elected admins will be kicked out unless they are players.

Also note that while no spectators mode is enabled, you are unable to connect to the server as a spectator unless you have the proper VIP (described above).

I can already see how qizmo-cam'ers are sad in the pants, this must be a fearful toy for killing qizmo cams out of existence

Nice one.

Nice. Do we get a "This server does not allow spectators. Go to www.quakeworld.tv to watch it." or something? Might be helpful to newbies and/or the-not-so-active-players.

(Provided the server supports QTV.)

what about ghosting through qtv 7
2008-03-08, 09:07
Not the best way imo.
Most players didn't use qtv only cos it don't allow to talk with players in prewar and with specs during a game.
As result we will got decreasing of interest to QW .

2rowdie: stream on qtv delayed by 10secs or so.

B1aze: It is possible to chat to other (QTV) spectators with QTV. To enable all the recent QTV features you need a new enough ezQuake version though. Use a separate ezquake-gl.exe for spectating and gaming and you're set.

Chatting in prewar isn't possible though which seems to be tough on some people. I don't miss it _that_ much though considering how much QTV adds to the game.

screw qizmo spectating, qtv for the future!

I miss talking in prewar with qtv but this is a way to go. Nice and thanks.

Is this only for tournament games or can we use this if we just don't feel like we want 4 specs for our 2on2 games?

i hope most people wont be hysteric about some russians cheating (whoa what) and allows people to spec their games

What do chinese soldiers have to with voting?

We are in a great time of QuakeWorld where the most important eu servers get latest server+mod installed within hours/days so let's see how this gets accepted, don't be afraid to tell your feedback and a better solution can be made any time later immediately available. But for now let's cut the "I think it's going to ..." hypotheses.
