That would be awesome, as you have endless possibilities for making cool angles and much better videos.

Yes you can.. just as 'normal' you have to start the demo before connecting. Bad thing is just that spectating does not work very good in 1.5. There will be improvment in 1.5.1..
But you can NOT go into spectator mode in the demo or something.. But a demo while spectating someone will work fine..

QW have .mvd demos. That is serverside demos. Where you can change fly around spectate the players etc. And DP supports QW protocol now.. so maybe it can be done in Nexuiz soon

I wish for it anyway :roll:

Good Idea... but i think im a noob, how i can spector somebody?? Ive never checked this funktion in Nexuiz, but in other games

In Nexuiz 1.5 you normaly start in freefly mode.. you can press +attack (mouse1 by default) to spectate other players.. if you instead press +jump (space) you can start the game. But all this should be explain by the message that appears shortly after joining a game.
If the game is already running you can press F3 to enter free fly mode again but then you'll loose all your frags

Ok, I searched the "Free Fly" Mode, I missed it, thanks

It shuold be possible to enter the game from follow-mode too, i think.

Looking at the code in the development version it should work this way.. but i was to lazy to check if this is 1.5.1 only or if it is in 1.5 also. If it was already in 1.5 and does not work that would be a bug

It does not work that way in 1.5. Its actually kinda annoying to have to back to free-fly to join the game. Check this out, would you? I dont have a devel version anywhere close

exactly that is also fixed in v1.5.1 .. you can now join the game no matter whether you are spectationg a player or flying around ("observer")
