GOTV?

[b0ogie]

AIGHT. So here's my situation.
Recently, I was introduced to GOTV, which apparently, allows me to record a game, and then later watch it in others peoples perspectives too, use the tab key, etc...

Of all the stuff I am finding online, nothing has helped me set this up. I don't have a server, I don't wanna connect to ♥♥♥♥, I just want to record my games, and then have more freedom to play around with the demo, e.g view other people as I get raped.

How does one go about doing this? HOW DO I USE THIS.

Thanks. <3

It's only available for use when the server you are playing on has it enabled. You can usually tell if a server does by right clicking the server in your browser and clicking 'view server info', GOTV will be listed as a connected "player".

I cannot confirm myself that you can record your own games without a second computer. The only way I've ever used GOTV is by connecting to the server using the server's IP address but instead of port 27015, using 27020. I've only done this to watch friends play in league matches. Unless there is an external client or website that you can view GOTV through, you are forced to use your client. Which means having a second computer recording your own matches.

Keep in mind that servers usually have GOTV set at like a 120 second delay, so your other client will not see your game in real time, however it will capture all of your game play as long as you continue to record until GOTV has caught up to the end of your session.

Hope that helps.
