Me and some friends are playing around with the idea of doing some amateur cast’s, and I’m looking for a pritty config to use for the viewer’s pleasure.
I’m thinking of using Chris’s highquality? Or are there alternatives that are better?
Also are there any essential key-binds that are handy when doing the camera for a cast?
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! Since I have no experience doing this.
+moveup and +movedown instead of aiming down/up and holding w/s to move the camera up and down
chris max graphics is good enough
and use spec helper v0.2 to bind players to keys
thanks, I’ll look into spechelper. Sounds genius.
make binds for hud_reloadscheme, snd_reload (can’t check atm how to spell it correctly but it should fix the sound glithes in stv)
dx95, standard crosshair + decent-sized viewmodels_fov, ragdolls on.
Also don’t forget about that plugin that allows to see players through walls

hud_reloadscheme is not needed in stv it fixes itself if paused

sorry did not know that but a lot of casters mention doing it from time to time so I guessed that it had its use
upd: bind x “record demo” should still fix the lagging player models after unpausing ?

or just wait till they die
casters mention reloading hud bcs thats how you fixed it some time ago, now you just have to wait for the amount of time the pause was
personally only “tf2” keys i use during streaming is:
bind “pgup” “volume .06”
bind “pgdn” “volume 0”
bind “mouse5” “+moveup”
bind “mouse4” “+movedown”
bind “i” “spec_autodirector 1”
and two keys that are bound to configs with Default xhair or permanent scout xhair in case stv is bugged and not showing default xhair..
other good stuff to have:
snd_musicvolume “0” //no music
engine_no_focus_sleep 0 //no fps drops when out alt tabbed
snd_mute_losefocus 0 //sound on when alt tabbed
cl_spec_carrieditems 0 //no player item hud
cl_trading_show_requests_from 0 //self explanatory
tv_nochat 1 //no stv chat
ofc dont forget the default rates as stv will be laggy with any lower ones
Quoted from AnimaL
tv_nochat 1 //no stv chat
hud_saytext_time 0 does the same thing.

hud_saytext_time 0 does the same thing.
tv_nochat only kills STV chat, but leaves the actual player’s chat intact.
Not sure your cmd does the same.

Do you have a link where I can download spec helper? I did a quick google search, and I could not find a download :(

Thanks!
One final thing I’m curious about is the looping video I’ve seen on a lot of casts. Usually active while waiting to join the server or waiting to get STV info.
Is that just a flash swf video of some kind? Does anybody know?
