We are now running source tv on the public server. What does this mean? It means you can watch the action with a slight delay if you would like to. For some info on how source tv works see the wiki.

The source tv ip is 76.74.139.4:27100

What else does it mean? It means we will be recording 24/7. Source TV records the client directly on the server. Often time while spectating it's very hard to tell if someone is cheating because of numerous variables in the way a client percieves what another client is doing. Source tv gives a pure view of what is actually happening with the client.

This will be a valuable tool in collecting demos to provide proper proof of cheating. There will be no dispute as a result of this.

I will also be adding some server side plugins that will further detect potential cheaters. You will not see any of this running and it will not affect server performance.

As we are a fun gaming community, I will still avoid setting the server to sv_pure, so you can all use your custom models and sounds. Please do not take advantage of this.

Thanks.

Wehn you think nobody is watching, think again. Big Brother is ALWAYS watching. So all hacker and potential hacker, beware! This is our latest effort in our fight against hackers. We are confident this tool will benefit the server for we can always go back to a demo and prove the player hacked. So if there is a hacker or a suspiscious player and you did not have time to record the demo and/or you missed it. DONT WORRY, Source TV is there: SMILE! YOU ARE ON CANDID CAMERA! :)

Does it record everyone at once? Or just kind of randomly spec one at a time? What kind of HDD space does that take up? Gotta be a lot.

I was thinking that too, it must have some sort of sliding window concept, but I think it records it as if it was ingame, IE, you fly around like as if you were dead, or it will put you in a players eyeball.
