Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
Hello everyone.
This topic got discussed many times before, but I was not very good at finding the dead related topic so I'm opening a new one.
I recently got a new ISP with stupid bandwidth. I am willing to propose that connection for streaming Ladles (and other tourneys) and then reducing the amount of specs during Ladle final and semis (I got 2 computers that can stream simultaneously).
I'm sure almost everyone is persuaded that the amount of specs is reducing servers quality for players and then harming tourneys overall fun.
Such a thing would be useful for me to setup only if CFG got changed and people actually sit out of the spec during the tourneys.
I'm available for some tests of the process beforehand of course.
We could also have some players describing the finals and use that to promote the game a little.
Waiting for your inputs.

Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
Streaming is our only real possibility of a short-term solution. So if you're willing to do this you should.
Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
But I need spec spots to be reduced and stream to be promoted on the server msg, if this do not happen there is no point on streaming because everybody will go spec instead of stream
Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
Epsy made a good streaming HUD for .3 iirc, maybe it can be transferred over to .4
Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
ok gotta compile 0.4 and set up everything then. I'll update later this thread to run some tests with people before a tourney.
Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
Streaming would be nice for the upcoming Fork, as Durf suggested, but the Fork is at jeopardy (we do not know if we will even have it, or if we will have it at the right time.)

Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
when we streamed ladle, elmo and liz i think gave a great commentry of the whole thing, i think thats whats needed, people with charisma and charm to sell the game. I would offer myself but i wont have the time for ladles anymore but the idea is a good one
Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
me & sine, then elmo took over with a lower quality stream cause i had to quit... but it was set up very decently(mine, that is!).
pls use OBS

Or have moderators kicking everyone except finalists, other moderators, streaming people (ie you), and people recording (ie z-man).takburger wrote:But I need spec spots to be reduced

Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
also the subs for the finalists should be allowed in the server too

Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
maybe a server name change
Ladle 87 (Crazy Tronner's USA) - watch live @ http://live.armatourney.net/
(I could point that subdomain to some place)
I'd like to see it set up and working before I reduce slots on servers

Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
Ok then I'll try to make it soon and we'll test it one evening.
Re: Tourneys, streaming and spectators limitations
I want to make it this weekend. However people seem to want me to install 0.4 to stream so they make a cockpit etc.
I dunno how to compile 0.4 on mac. Tell me how to
