OK, I'll have to do some testing before I enable it permanently. We'll try it again after our scrims tomorrow night. I want to make sure it doesn't occupy a player slot and unbalance the teams. If it does, I can always lower the player count to 23 and keep it at 11v11.

Just for spectating. It allows multiple people to use the one spec bot to watch a match without having to be all connected as clients. For a few clients, it works fine, but for more, you need to redirect to a dedicated server. I thought it might be fun for people to watch the games externally as well. Just a test really.

Well in the link I put in my last post says you can have the SourceTV thing auto record demo files.

If you ever want to see how it looks, check the "Spectate" tab when you open your server selection option in TF2, then find a server with some people on it and go watch.

It's a pretty sweet tool and I can see it being very useful for watching a match/debriefing.

Zoopy's link gives you all the information you need.
