ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SET SPECTATE TO STAY WITH THE PLAYER YOU WANT TO SPECTATE? RIGHT NOW THE SERVER CHANGES THE PLAYER AFTER HE DIES AND YOU HAVE TO RIGHT OR LEFT CLICK TO FIND HIM AGAIN. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Will look into it this afternoon.
First of all - fix that broken caps lock ;)
There's no easy way, you can only switch to next (or previous) player before the one you're spectating dies (or in the same second). After a few seconds, depending on the respawn time press back or forward to find the one you're spectating.
Certain multihacks in cod2 were abusing some spectate options and allowed a player to appear as spectator while playing the game. This was particularly annoying when banning cheaters with namestealer hack and it was patched in cod4 (along with many other things). Therefore there is no easy way to spectate specific person only.
I know the extreme mod for COD2 allowed it, don't know if the AWE mod, we use, allows it
In order to be able to spectate a player in COD4 without having to scroll back to the same player after he dies the server would have to be set to no spawn delay in the config file for the the gametypes in question.
set scr_dm_playerrespawndelay -1
set scr_war_playerrespawndelay -1
thanks Goodshot,
I knew there would be an answer out there
we will have to get these lines into configs ASAP
+1 you rock!

Will change the config, and see how it works. TY Good

Won't respawn time in tdm be ridiculously low if this is enabled?
And does this affect spawn protection, which should be 1 second at least?

It just sets it to zero spawn delay, only 3 seconds less than what it was. No it doesn't effect spawn protection if spawn protection is enabled.
If you want to spectate a player in COD4 without having to scroll back to that player every time he respawns, this is how the spawn delay has to be set. Otherwise scroll every time the spectated player respawns. This setting is now set on Misery, so far no complaints. Check it out and see what you think.
