GamersTV (GTV) allows you to watch a Q3A match as if you are connected directly to the gameserver, record a match, and view it with your friends at the same time. To use GTV you need the latest versions of Quake3Arena, v1.32 You do not need special GTV software !

How to connect

1. Write down the IP and PORT of the GTV server.
2. Run Quake 3
3. Press ` to bring down the console
4. Type the command \cl_allowdownload 0 and press enter
5. Type the command \connect IP:PORT, where IP and PORT is the server address you wrote down in step 1.

you will be connected to a 'Bigbox' - gtv's waiting room
a test_'Bigbox' map - it is gtv's waiting room

After a few seconds the list with channels appears.
Channel 2, 'q3delay', is the actual match channel.
Type \gtv_watch 2 to connect

GTV also works with server browsers, so you can enter the ip and port into your favorite server browser and use it to connect.

Commands

Once you are connected to a GTV server, these commands are accessible by bringing down the console (use the ` key). All commands typed into the Quake 3 console must be preceded by a \. This simply lets Quake 3 know you are typing in a command instead of trying to say something.

Use this command to become an admin of the GTV server. This command also allows you to watch restricted games (like the non-delayed stream).

Here is IP of GTV server in E+

PM casa , Rena , and HQ if he agrees to be in on that , to have your Clan War or Championnship specced By GTV.

server specifications are :

Sv_maxclients 50...it is still on test as i never had 50 players there at the same time.

/password hk ( if there is any...)

link to server is http://www.excessiveplus.net/query/85.214.41.230:27970

it will not show on spider's list. as it is not an excessiveplus server.

how ever this ip will stay the same.clan leaders and championship organisers have to bookmark it.

Note :

How set up PunkBuster on event server to allow GTV clients?

Set the pb_sv_specname PB Setting to the first few letters of the playername used by GTV clients that will connect. That way, the PB Server will keep the connecting GTV clients in SPEC status as long as there is 0 score for that "player". For example, add 'pb_sv_specname GTV' to the pbsv.cfg or pbsvuser.cfg file in the server's home "pb" folder.

ready for answering your questions.
