CSTV: Activate, install and manage TV Server for your CS2 gameserver - Guide:

CSTV for CS2 Gameserver

At CKRAS, every customer can add a TV server free of charge for their CS2 server. In the next steps we will show you how to activate the server, start recording, etc.

To easily manage these functions, we recommend that you first use our CKRAS BOT. This is free and included as default with every CS2.


ACTIVATE TV

So that the TV can be activated by toogle the TV Server on/off in the Panel or your edit your Server.cfg in Advanced settings.

CSTV (GOTV) activate

Change tv_enable 0 to tv_enable 1 in the [1] and restart.

With the new Default Server.cfg we have also stored additional TV settings. This will be added automatically when the server is installed again. (version November 9th)

START RECORDING

The easiest way to start the TV recording is with our CKRAS BOT, simply enter !tvrecord and the demo will start.

Start recording: !tvrecord alternatively !rcon tv_record (name)

TIPP: Demo is recording automatically if you use MatchZy and tv_enable 1 (or TV is activated see above) is set in your server.cfg


STOP RECORDINGS

You can simply stop the TV recording with the CKRAS BOT, simply enter !tvstop

End recording: !tvstop alternatively !rcon tv_stop


WHERE CAN I FIND THE DEMOS?

The demos are saved in the default CS2 folder: /cs2/game/csgo

(We are currently working on a solution to allow demos to be downloaded directly from the webinterface.)


Info:

For demos to watch, this tool could be very interesting for you: https://cs-demo-manager.com/download


TV PORT

The TV port is always +10 to your gameserver port

Example: Gameserver port 27050 is your CSTV port: 27060 (+10)

Your current port is always displayed when you start a !TVRECORD (demo). (CKRAS BOT)
