so will the backups not be spectating the match ready to jump in if one of the main players vanishes for some reason? shouldn't they be on mumble (but quietly)?
on a similar note will we be able to spectate the other teams matches? i would be keen to watch how BoF1 get on.

Usually, matches have SourceTV in spectator, this is a program that sits in spec and can record the match from all areas, instead of just from one person's point of view. They don't usually allow normal spectators because there wouldn't be enough slots. However, a person can connect to the SourceTV relay address of a server (usually the same address as the server but on another port) and spectate the match through there.
It works exactly the same as spectating normally except that there is a 90-second delay between what SourceTV shows you and what is currently going on. This prevents people from giving info to one team about the other and probably helps in some form for bandwidth I'm guessing too.
So to summarise, yes you will most likely be able to spec, but at a 90 second delay, not live.

Here's a brief installation guide for us.
Code: Select all
1. Install Mumble
2. Setup Push to talk and input settings
3. Keep Mumble running (but dont keep the connect box open).
4. Start TF2 and goto Highlander server
5. Type one of the following in game chat
a. highlander
b. bof_1
c. bof_2
d. bof_3
5. TF2 will start a web browser page which will then call mumble. Server details will be forwarded to mumble.
6. Alt Tab and enter a username
7. You should be in one of the following channels depending on what you typed in chat.
a. highlander - Main highlander lobby
b. bof_1 - Team 1 room
c. bof_2 - Team 2 room
d. bof_3 - Team 3 room
8. You can save the server details by clicking on Server menu in mumble, then connect and then Add new...
9. The server details will already be completed and the password stored.
You can use the above in game chat messages to move around mumble. If you start in bof_1 and need to go into bof_3 then just type it in TF2 chat and you will be moved. There have been accounts of users having trouble with this where multiple mumble programs have started. At the moment I don't know why cos it doesn't happen to me.
** If you dont want to start the game use this web address **
Highlander Mumble
** If you have trouble with connecting:
Q: I'm asked for the password, which I enter correctly. Connect. See 'root' for a brief moment and then I'm disconnected. Invalid user or password
A: Chances are something has screwed up somewhere. Try changing your username slightly and reconnect.

Just went online to find that almost every channel is occupied.
Is it possible to create some more channels in Mumble? (incl. Starcraft 2 pls.)
