For everybody who records demos and holds tournaments I have written a

Quake-C patch just for you.

Using the intermission-views my patch uses one client to display the view

with the most players on it. A internet cafe in Milwaukee already uses it in

combination with a big-screen TV. Sources are included, and heavily

commented IMHO.

Grab it at: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames2/quakec/misc/dmcam11.zip

or: http://www.xs4all.nl/~drwilco/dmcam11.zip

When no players are in view (when the camera is the only client connected

for instance) it will cycle through all the views, displaying them for 3

seconds each.
