AutoCamera checks Arie's live TF2 feed for big plays , and changes the spectator cam accordingly. It is supposed to sit on a secondary camera, and is meant to help view multiple perspectives of in-game events. The secondary camera then can be viewed on a split-screen. Primary Camerawork is still supposed to be done by humans, and in no way is AutoCamera a substitute for that
For your frag video/instant replay needs, AutoCamera can also automate demos recordings,
with the relevant config. Demos can start and stop recording at a set time, and are
saved with the format player_<event_type>_hour_minutes_seconds.
Execute the script with python autocamera.py
Enter the Match ID as per the live feed, the user name, and password to the live feed.
AutoCamera will start listening for events, and spectate and/or record them on the local TF2 process as necessary.
The config variables are stored in autocamera.py. A little bit of Python knowledge is required
if you want to define your own custom events. Here's what the default config is:
# The port on which autocamera.py will listen
feed_port = "5555"
# The port on which ExternelExtensions will listen
websockets_port = "2006"
# The cheat feed delay, in seconds
feed_delay = 70
# Spectate player when these much seconds are left
spec_on = 5
# Set to True if you want to record a demo of the play
record = False
# Seconds before the play the demo will start recording from
record_start = 5
# Seconds after which the demo will stop recording
record_stop = 5
# The player you want to spectate. Can be either of "player_name"
# or "target_name"
spec_player = "player_name"
# URL to the cheat feed's JSON endpoint
url = "http://live.fakkelbrigade.eu/pages/streamer_stats.json?match_id="
# Events to spectate
event_checks = [lambda e: e["event_type"] == "TF2LineParser::Events::Airshot",
# Uncomment to spectate medic deaths
# lambda e: e["event_type"] == "TF2LineParser::Events::MedicDeath",
# Uncomment to spectate ubersaw kills
# lambda e: e["weapon"] == "ubersaw",
lambda e: e["customkill"] == "backstab",
