Streaming UT99 as spectator

[-dukeandy-]

Hi everyone,

how can I stream a UT99 1on1 via Twitch the best way?
Joining as a spectator is very uncomfortable because it's only 3rd person and I want to show the match from both competitors in 1st person.
I know it's possible via "behindview 0", but changing to the other player makes it 3rd person again... and last time I tested it, the screen with "behindview 0" was flipped over and buggy.

I saw a youtube video which seems to have all these possibilities I want:

How can I do this? Would be great if you can help me.

I think the switching back to 3td person view it just this line bBehindView = true in PlayerPawn.uc:

Code: Select all

exec function ViewPlayerNum(optional int num) {
[...]
	if ( P != self )
	{
		ViewTarget = P;
		bBehindView = true;
	}
[...]

But before changing the code I'd try a key binding for "ViewTeam" and console command "behindview 0".

Post up to sp00ney or LAA and ask them. sp00ney is an old UT player/admin who does a fair bit of twitch streaming and his job is customer service for gaming so he knows how to explain things. Both are fantastic guys and I know they had to do quite a bit to get their streams to look the way they wanted. As far as I know there aren't any streamers here.

Thank you guys.
I will contact sp00ney or LAA.

specfix might (maybe - never tested it myself) do what you want too - from the readme file:

- What's Specfix?
Simple: It allows you to spectate matches from the player's perspective (just like you would in Quake). You always could do this in UT by typing behindview 0 at console, but there were several problems. Specfix fixes those problems.

...I think these fixes include the behaviour you reported, where your view is inverted 180 degrees after a player has been headshotted.

Here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4165&p=41572, if you don't want headaches.
Don't bother looking for crappy solutions. (GlobalUnreal's streams have this)

Thank you guys!
I have installed "XC_Spec (r10) - Enhanced spectator" mutator as recommended and it's near perfect - but the "headshot-bug" (screen is flipped after a headshot from 1st person view) is still there

mmh I hate that. I don't remember what was any mutator that have fixed that..
