Am I the only one having problems with Spectator mode? When I explore custom maps from the Workshop I'd like to just fly around with no time restrictions, but if I spectate the camera is locked in place: I can't move. I tried to noclip but doesn't affect it. It seems to happen only on custom maps but I should double check.

I execute a cfg file to check out maps. It puts the roundtime at 60 minutes and gives unlimited ammo + a bunch of different grenades to try/check out grenade throws.

And if I want to fly around I use "noclip" which I have bound to a key

Cheers, that's useful.

Yeah I knew there were things like this, I've seen a few video analysis (eg when @FMPONE was releasing Santorini or for the Valve remakes)... I guess I'll set that up, it is useful, but annoys me on principle because it just doesn't make sense that the spectator camera doesn't move. There wasn't this issue for sure in old GoldSrc/Source, and I kinda have the feeling that when CSGO came out was working as one would expect. Just for curiosity I'll try to see if with bots in spectating works fine (I mean, it's in Valve's dev wiki that they suggest when testing a map in early stages to just have bots play many rounds and see the outcome for balance)

So how do you actually execute the dev cfg @Squad, you replace before running the game when you know you want to test a map or there's a console command?
I mean I had a custom cfg myself when I used to play CSS with my clan, but that was for all the performance and buying stuff so it was always executed... then for map study having a private server I would just use the server-mod commands to get all the nades and set round times

Hit the space bar and you can move again, perhaps.

This. Spectator cam is probably locked in 1st person mode. Space bar cycles through the different view modes of the spec cam. 1st P, 3rd P, Free fly mode.

But having a seperate testing.cfg as Squad said, should rather be used imo.

@blackdog Open console and type "exec maptestcfg" or whatever you called your config file.

Mine is called mapplay.cfg so I just have to type in console "exec mapplay".

Thanks for the clarifications.
Spacebar doesn't work but I do that with the right mouse button in-game and that worked... I guess i clicked too many times because i did try pressing all the main keys that are binded well that was lame of me.

Holy cows, the semifinal… map 1 was a massacre but Cache such a tight game, Rain the performance of a lifetime(?)

Things look really up for SK for next tournament. I'm still not understanding how the whole circus works, information doesn't seem to be centralised as basically all these are like different leagues compared to other sports(?)

I would maybe add sv_cheats 1 to this list so you could easily test commands that need cheats enabled (portals, occlusion, leafvis, wireframe...)

I have that enabled automatically when starting CSGO. Not sure why that is exactly, but I suspect -dev in launch options does that?

Randomly found this: http://blightgaming.com/will-virtus-pro-disband/

hope they do well or at least find a way to come around stronger after this tournament, cos for some reason I have much sympathy for them. I'm watching matches and I don't have real favorites, I watch for the enjoyment of the technical act, like I mostly did when I used to watch NBA... but for some reason I have a soft spot for them

Also really annoyed I didn't manage to bet on the tournament, wanted to do through a prepaid card (hopefully to not affect credit score) but I didn't have it with me over the weekend so I missed out. Expecting SK to win this as well... would have been a £400-500 win... would have repaid for my flights to Canada

I don't really follow the pro CS scene anymore but I have always loved the VP team. Would be sad to see them disband. I saw them win against Fnatic last night so hopefully they're doing ok and can get far in the major.

[blackdog]

What the fuck :-| this game actually costed me money

They had them at 13-12 on an super eco and managed to lose the match.

CS delivers close games just like my beloved basketball, where great plays can turn a game in 30 seconds.

Incredible that Faze went from being finalists to last place... in the space of three weeks! BTW for the few games I've seen I haven't seen anything impressive coming out of Niko, which makes me question him being currently considered the #1/#2 player o.O
