Current version: 1.15

Spectator Mod for Company of Heroes 2 is a mod which allows a player to spectate a 1v1 game. Since all the "1v1" maps have slots up to 4, there is no need for creating new versions of maps to fit in a spectator player.

How Spectator mod works?
Player1 = Normal player. Playing vs Player3.
Player2 = Spectator #1.

Player3 = Normal player. Playing vs Player1.
Player4 = Spectator #2.

Spectator: Has commands such as Toggle Taskbar visibility and Toggle between teams. Will also see resources of the selected player. Selected player is determined by the team of the spectator. All spectator players have Fog of War disabled. This means they see the whole map.
  • Team 0 = See resources of Player1
  • team 1 = See resources of Player3

    Fixed starting positions must be used.

    There is currently one issue which is solved with the ability to toggle between teams:
    If spectator is in team 1, spectator is unable to see camouflaged units of team 2 and vice versa.

    Hotkeys:
    Control + F1: Toggle taskbar visibility
    Control + F2: Toggle between team 1 and 2. Selected team also determines player resources to view. Your own resources represent them.
    Team 1 = View Player1's resources.
    Team 2 = View Player3's resources.

    Downloads:
    [Version 1.15 - 25.10.2013]
    Older versions:



    How to install:
    Method #1 (regular shortcut):

    1. Extract contents of the downloaded .zip archive to your Company of Heroes 2 install directory and create a new shortcut pointing to RelicCoH2.exe
    One way of making a new shortcut:
    -Right click on RelicCoH2.exe and select Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut)
    -Default path to Company of Heroes 2 install folder in Windows 7 is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes 2\
    -RelicCoH2.exe is located in this folder.

    2. Right click on your newly created shortcut. Select Properties.
    3. Add
    Code
    -mod spectator
    after the last quotation mark in Field called "Target" under "Shortcut" Tab. Notice the space before last quotation mark and -dev.
    Example:
    Code
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Company of Heroes 2\RelicCoH2.exe" -mod spectator


    4. Press Apply and OK
    5. Double click the shortcut to launch Company of Heroes 2.

    Method #2 (via steam GUI):

    1. Goto your steam games collection, right click Company of Heroes 2 and select Properties.
    2. Under the General tab click the Set launch options... button.
    3. Enter "-mod spectator" without quotation marks and click OK.
    4. Close the game's Properties window and launch Company of Heroes 2.

    Here is an example screenshot of how your Company of Heroes 2 install directory should look like after installing spectator mod:


    Future:
    - Ability see selected commander of the selected player. - DONE!
    - Ability use camera rotation tools from CheatCommands Mod. - DONE!
    - Your idea?

Best thing players can do is download and test this mod with their friends, then give constructive feedback. It needs to be "broken in" so to speak before we could even consider it.

Special thanks to Rasti, Rhoska, ZTormi, Con, and Sarantini for adjusting with the testing process.

Sure thing!

Host a custom game. Make sure fixed starting positions are set.



Place "playing" players to slots 1 and 3. Place spectator(s) to slots 2 and 4. If there is only one spectator, leave slot 4 empty.
