Spectate+

This is a mod to fix the spectate issue on larger maps. Players can now spectate enemies and watch the fight currently going on, instead of spectating the part of the map they died on.

The problem

On larger custom maps, the camera follows you around while you're alive. Once you die it stays where you died for the rest of the round, so if the fight is happening on the other side of the map, you can't watch it.

What Spectate+ does

When you die on a large map, the camera smoothly zooms out to show the entire map. From there you can:

• Follow a player. Press A or D to zoom in on a living player and follow them. Press again to switch to the next one. If the player you're watching dies, the camera moves to the next one automatically.
• Go back to the full map. Press S to stop following and zoom back out.
• Pan around. Move your mouse to the edge of the screen to pan the camera in that direction.
• Zoom. Use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out. It zooms toward wherever your cursor is.

A small hint bar at the top of the screen shows who you're watching, in their team color, along with the controls.

When you respawn, or the next round starts, the camera goes back to normal. On maps that already fit on your screen, Spectate+ stays out of the way and does nothing.

Controls

Action	Keyboard / Mouse	Controller
Follow previous / next player	A / D	D-pad left / right
Back to full map	S	D-pad down
Pan	Mouse at screen edge	Right stick
Zoom	Scroll wheel	Bumpers

All keys can be rebound.

Settings

Open Mod Options → Spectate+ from the main menu or the pause menu to:

• Turn the mod, the hint bar, or controller support on and off
• Turn edge panning on or off, and set its speed and how close to the edge the mouse needs to be
• Turn scroll zoom on or off, and set its speed
• Set how far zoomed in the camera is when following a player
• Rebind every key
• Reset everything to the defaults

Client-side

Spectate+ only changes your own camera. Your friends don't need it installed to play with you.
