Force spectator mode, hide HUD/GUI

[iwanPlays]

For making videos of maps, I'd like to completely remove all text and UI elements during spectator mode.

1. Is it possible to spectate as the only person on the server? How?
2. Is it possible to hide the HUD/GUI? I know how to open the console (`) and that there is listenserver.cfg

Thank!

I should have searched a bit more before asking...

SPECTATOR "MODE":

Open the console in-game if you're an admin (`) and insert this (you can ctrl+c from here):

sv_cheats 2 // enable cheats;
cl_noclip 1 // fly;
mp_allowmonsterinfo 0 // don't show alien health etc;
impulse 50 // hide HUD/UI;
godmode 1 // don't die from environmental stuff;
cl_notarget 1 // let aliens ignore you (if you want);
r_drawviewmodel 0 //hide hands/weapons;
crosshair 0 //hide crosshair

then press enter/return.

You can copy/paste everything in one go, thanks to the ; at the end of lines.

(I hear[www.svencoop.com] the admin thing only works on servers up to 3 players on public servers?)

instead of dropping weapons, you can apply the following:

r_drawviewmodel 0/1
crosshair 0/1

Thanks! That makes it even easier!
