ettv config

Hi

For quite a while already i m wondering why all the games broadcasted on ettv are done with a serverconfig, that doesnt allow r_shownormals 1 and r_drawfoliage 0..

well, shownormals aint really important on ettv but that fucking grass on radar terribly sucks when watching a game.
You just hear some hitsounds but actually you cant see shit...

is there a reason for the recent changes in ettv broadcasts and is it possible to get those things changed again?

cheers

what iw as told: streams are now from HUB(whatever this is) and this is why you cant put r_shownormals 1 anymore. The replayers are still the old way and can thus still be watched with r_shownormals 1

On GTVd ettv servers the r_drawfoliage and r_shownormals settings are cheat protected - wth?
Unfortunately we had to learn that this was a drawback of the way we manage ettv now - if you directly connect the servers (which saves a lot of resources) instead of recording it to a demo first then these restrictions somehow leak towards ettv viewers. Their local etpro will then enforce these restrictions.
GTVd actually tries to set sv_cheats to 1 but most if not all matchservers it connects to will force it back to 0, thus causing these effects.
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that - thats just the way ettv works - if you want to use these "cheats" you'll have to use our oD feature after the game as these will run off a demo again.
