Frequently Asked Questions » Configuring an Enemy Territory Matchserver to enable it's ettv capabilities

Dear reader, welcome to another chapter of our FAQ-Section.

Today we are going to explain to you how to change a non ETTV-Compatible Matchserver (runnning etded.x86),
into a ETTV-Compatible Matchserver (running ettv.x86) in a few simple steps.
Note: "Slave" means Broadcastserver, as in the ettvs that are on the server to broadcast the match.

What you basically have to do is replace 'etded.x86' with 'ettv.x86' (get the latest ETTV server binary here). You don't need the files 'tvgame_mp_x86.dll / tvgame.mp.i386.so' which come in that package, you can just delete or ignore them (they are only for slaves). After that add these cvars to your matchserver cfg:

  • set ettv_sv_maxslaves "2"
    Number of ettv slaves allowed to connect. (Recommended: 2)
    Note: Slave slots are always reserved, like private slots.



  • set ettv_password "3ttv"
    Password for ettv slaves. (Recommended: 3ttv)
    Must be set, or no slaves will be able to connect!



  • set b_ettv_flags "3"
    1 = prevent slaves from being callvote kicked
    2 = grant shoutcaster status to slaves
    Values can be added together, eg 3 for both features. (Recommended: 3)



After you have done that and made 'ettv.x86' executable you can shutdown your old server (etded.x86) and start it again with 'ettv.x86' and the same parameters.

You have done the job, your Matchserver is now ETTV-Compatible.
