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.
