I made a simple application to help people who stream games from SourceTV (extv, vanillatv etc)

It produces something along the lines of this: http://pastebin.com/W1mnm4Rz

Actual sample output from a pub server: http://pastebin.com/BYHrHqTq

Basically you paste the match server IP (not the sourcetv) onto the window with Ctrl-V, drag the class icons to the players, then hit save. This spits out a bunch of cfg files in the same folder.

If you run this in your tf/cfg folder you can then enter “exec stvkeybinds” in tf2 and it will apply the matches you just made.

Keys will then be bound as follows:

Shift Q – Blu Med
Shift A – Blu Demo
Shift W – Blu Solly 1
Shift S – Blu Solly 2
Shift E – Blu Scout 1
Shift D – Blu Scout 2

And likewise for Alt and RED team.

The binds should revert the above keys to the default values after you release Ctrl/Shift, so if you have custom binds on those keys you should back up your config.cfg (do this anyway).

Then you can join the sourcetv for the game and use these keys combinations to change to the players specified in one press.

It’s the first release and I haven’t had a chance to test it with an actual TF2 game since I haven’t had access to my gaming PC in the last few days, but let me know how it goes for you.

So the download and source (C#) are available here: http://code.google.com/p/stv-keybinds/downloads/list

Thanks to the creator of coLdemoplayer. I took the server-communication code from there.

Sounds epic.

Oh that’s sick

this works on stv demos aswell yeh?

Not really, no. You can use “spec_player” in stv demos yes, but the application has no way of getting a list of players.

Atmo first before anything else i gotta congratulate you for a fantastic work. This tool is bound to help tons all the Casters and Streamers across the whole TF2 multiverse, be it eXtv, VanillaTV, and what not.

Would it be possible to make it that a class is bound to two players, for example since there are two scouts, and two soldiers, it would go between them using just one button.

Technically it seems possible to me as i use something for Engineer that does sorta that, as in, i press F and it can do two tasks, build sentrys, and destroy them.

I added you on steam aswell

Thanks for the great work

Yes, something like that is possible, although if there are only two players that you are interested in then it is probably faster to just write some aliases in console and use those.

eg:

alias p1 "spec_player name1; bind x p2"
alias p2 "spec_player name2; bind x p1"
bind x p1

I will be online on steam tomorrow if you have any more questions

Nice one!
