Qqshka made changes to both QTV and MVDSV so that finally QTV observers can talk to the players during prewar. There are few things that need to be mentioned before start trashtalking in QTV:

1) There is a small amount of delay during prewar if you talk to the players, but it's like one second or so.

2) When countdown starts, QTV experience will be extremely choppy for a few seconds. Yes, this is totally normal, we are just adjusting the buffer.

3) During round there is around 10 seconds delay between live action and QTV streaming. You can't talk to the players from QTV at this point.

4) After the round ends, you still can't talk to the players --> wait for map reload/change and you'll have your 1s delay and chat again.

5) Normal QTV observer to observer chat is untouched.


Usage: Like being a Qizmo observer, use say_game.

Requirement: qtv_adjustbuffer 1 (in ezQuake)


My administrated servers and Suomicom QTV have been updated to match these requirements already, so you can start testing the stuff. There will be some changes in the ezQuake client later so check nightly builds from time to time.


Don't forget to thank Qqshka for wasting his saturday evening/night giving you this feature and Fucu for testing it with me.


For the players/observers!
This is the client you are looking for.


For the server admins!
