So, apparently, League of Legends is a hardcore game.

Got some spare time, so made this little userscript:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/153714

Intended to help casters to go spectator mode and choose some POV automatically. Also reconnects to server automatically on errors like infamous "Invalid .PK3 files referenced". Does not reconnect when you are disconnected manually or was kicked. Doesn't go spectator if you are already playing.

Made this because was annoyed by casters who forget to change POV and leave viewers to watch QuakeLive default menu while the game is on.

Workflow:
* when you are connecting to server, you become a spectator instantly
* one second later POV is changed to someone playing on the server
* remembers if you are a spectator, so when the map changed, or game state goes from warmup to actual play, POV activated automatically
* if you enter the game, doesn't go to spectator mode on game state or level change (i.e. your player experience is not changed, only spectating affected)
* when you receive error on connecting to the server, which is not about you're kicked or manual disconnection, issues "reconnect" command immediately

Usage:

Install this userscript, add following to your QuakeLive config and that's all. You can change commands however you want.

If you don't add these commands to your config, automatic reconnection on errors works anyway.

seta _qlspec_vars "cg_compmode 1; cg_comphud 1;"
seta _qlspec_do "vstr _qlspec_vars; wait; team s;"
seta _qlspec_pov "vstr _qlspec_vars; wait; +attack; wait; -attack;"

qlprism howto:

1. Icon at the bottom right corner -> greasemonkey -> manage user scripts.

2. Copy http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/153714.user.js in the clipboard. (for example, go to script page - http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/153714 , right-click "install", copy url)

3. Icon at the bottom right corner -> greasemonkey -> download user script.

4. Paste http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/153714.user.js , press ok, restart qlprism.

5. Don't forget about adding commands above at your QuakeLive config file.

Hello again.

Here is a small userscript which, I think, will greatly improve your esreality.com user experience:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125848

After installing, use ctrl-up and ctrl-down keys to jump between posts on main page, and to jump between comments in posts. Also, if there are new comments in the post you are reading, you can jump straight to them by using the same ctrl-down and ctrl-up shortcuts.

I made it because I am used to leprosorium.ru navigation and didn't want to spend time spotting new comments in a huge threads of comments.

It is just a simple keyboard navigation javascript that was borrowed from leprosorium.ru and adapted as a userscript for the site esreality.com.

[SHAMELESS PLUG] Still trying to promote QL-TV.

UPDATE: I recommend you to use the official qlranks.com script now, wn has added this type of in-game announcing into his script. Also his script supports CA and TDM Elo:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/111519


During my attempt to make a QL-TV I have found the way to make in-game Elo announcing without an additional software, just using the userscript. Truly cross-platform and so on.

So here is modified wn's script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/123012

If you're already using qlranks userscript from http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/111519/ , uninstall it before using this script.
Install this script as usual, then add the following commands to your QuakeLive config:

seta elo_print "vstr elo_print0"
seta elo_print2 "seta cl_qlr_announce say; set elo_print vstr elo_print0; print ^7in-game elo announce: ^2say"
seta elo_print1 "seta cl_qlr_announce say_team; set elo_print vstr elo_print2; print ^7in-game elo announce: ^2say_team"
seta elo_print0 "seta cl_qlr_announce print ; set elo_print vstr elo_print1; print ^7in-game elo announce: ^2print"
bind o "vstr elo_print"
bind p "seta cl_qlr_request 0; seta cl_qlr_request 1"

Change in-game binds however you want, defaults, as you see, are the key O to change type of announcing (print, say_team, say), and the key P to display Elo information.

Tested in Chrome on Windows and Mac, Firefox and QLPrism.

Credits go to wn, szr and syncore. I've just added the in-game announcing feature.

There was one problem with the script, the print command was reassigned to cvar (weird ql bug), so the print did not work after the second try to use this script. Update the script and change binds - we need to do seta cl_qlr_announce print ; instead of seta cl_qlr_announce print;. Somehow the space matters.

Hello.

I've made an automatic spectator for Quake Live and looking for help to make it 24/7 video stream.

It's a simple script which which does following:
1. Choose a server from the Quake Live server list randomly.
2. Connect to the server, become a spectator, randomly choose team or user to specate, watch the match, randomly changing POV from time to time.
3. ???????
4. PROFIT

On game change the whole process repeats.

Also, the script takes care of well known "Invalid PK3 file referenced" error by immediate reconnect. Random change of POV is needed to work around the cg_followkiller bug (when the killing player dies in the moment of changing POV, we spectate a killing player's corpse, slowly dissolving into the floor) and when a player we spectate disconnects. Server filters are taken from the user settings, so, basically, we can choose only matches in progress all over the world, and comfortably change the filters however we like.

Here's a small example:
http://www.own3d.tv/ql24#/watch/333562
(Sorry for some CA players in this video who thought that I was going to join. I should've send message that I'm only spectating upon the connect. Also, I used freshly created ql account to record this, so servers specated are mostly noob servers. High skilled servers are usually more fun to watch)

The idea is to make a 24/7 Quake Live gaming footage stream out of it. The problem is that I live too far away from the streaming servers, and though I have an internet connection with high bandwidth, my streams are laggy as hell.

Best option would be to have one stream in Europe and one stream in North America, to have the best quality of video delivered and less people to complain about lags. The number of streams of course can be unlimited (Duel-Only-TV, for example), but let's not scatter the resources and audience. Also I think I can make jingle breaks in stream. It would be great to use some short videos about Quake disciplines, like 2GD explaining to the DHW'11 audience what duel is, followed by some epic fragmovie cut.

What we need to make it happen? A simple computer and a fast internet connection. The computer should be powerful enough to stream 720p/60fps, but the quake is not so resource-hungry, so it's going to be rather cheap. Computer should work 24/7 and have a remote control possibility through something like radmin/teamviewer for the troubleshooting. How to find such a resource - I don't know, so I'm asking you for help. Donation, maybe? Or it whould be great if some gaming team or streaming company (hey, twitch.tv!) become interested. I don't believe that id software will be interested in this, so let's try to find our way.

Why did I do this? For me it's calming to watch some Quake stream in background and find random game streaming very watchable. Spread the word, please. Everyone who saw Quake knows that it is fun to watch. Let's show it to everyone else.
