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, please edit the following value in Server.cfg.
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 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)
