\page qtv_overview QF QTV overview/status.
|
||||
OVERVIEW:
|
||||
\image html qwtv.png
|
||||
\image latex qwtv.eps ""
|
||||
|
||||
The server is "reserved" for playing clients. Any spectators would be
|
||||
referees and/or admins (however, this is up to the server admin).
|
||||
|
||||
A qtv proxy connects to the server. The proxy may have spectating clients
|
||||
and other even other proxies connecting to it. The proxies can chain to any
|
||||
depth as an upstream proxy will pass on its information to any downstream
|
||||
proxies. With just a few levels of proxies, it should be possible to have
|
||||
very large spectator groups.
|
||||
|
||||
STATUS:
|
||||
|
||||
qw-server supports up to two qtv proxy connections: the idea being there
|
||||
will be only one, with the second in case the proxy drops off and needs to
|
||||
reconnect before the timeout. The qw-server sends a modified mvd stream to
|
||||
the qtv proxy. The mvd stream is modified for both easy manipulation by the
|
||||
qtv server, and more importantly, to be packet-loss tolerant (QF uses mvd
|
||||
over udp).
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, the qtv proxy can connect to any number of servers (if you use
|
||||
more than one or two, I hope you have a beefy system/connection). The proxy
|
||||
supports any number of connecting clients. Connecting clients use
|
||||
<code>cmd list</code> to get a list of available servers and
|
||||
<code>cmd connect [SERVERNAME]</code> to finalize the connection to a
|
||||
server. Clients can use <code>cmd disconnect</code> to "leave" a server in
|
||||
order to "connect" to a different one without disconnecting from the proxy.
|
||||
|
||||
The proxy and connected clients ride over a server map change.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO:
|
||||
\li Implement a delay (configurable) between the qw server and the proxy.
|
||||
\li Add proxy chaining, possibly with configurable delay (redundant?).
|
||||
\li Demo recording (mvd/enhanced mvd) on the proxy.
|
||||
\li VOIP with recording to enhanced mvd (mvd and voip streams encapsulated
|
||||
together). Probably based on FTE.
|
||||
\li Other? According to community needs.
