Version DGH
Insight Spectator ModThis mod is now officially implemented into NS2. Huze is still working on it for UWE.
This mod is based on Skycam, which is/was a mod made by Dushan from UWE. Skycam gives you a top down view of the map in spectator mode, just like the commander view.
This modified version, created by myself and Huze, aims at providing you with additional information about the current game's status to make live casting even easier and more exciting for the viewers.

Here's an online version of the installation instructions with pictures: http://ns2comp.herokuapp.com/insight
And here's installation instructions for servers: http://ns2comp.herokuapp.com/insight/server (please note that the first and last step can differ depending on how you setup your server)
You can watch our progress and currently planned features on our Git Issues Tracker.
WARNING: Unfortunately, the server and all clients on it need to have the mod installed in order to be able to play. I cannot change this.
Current Limitations
- All building upgrades don't provide a "researching" state, only a "researched" state. Hence, all Alien upgrades, Advanced Armory and ARC Robotics Factory upgrades only appear after being finished. Augmentation currently doesn't appear at all. Blame Brian. :P
- I cannot query research percentage, so research bars might lag behind in some rare cases.
- All values can be up to two seconds late. This is not really a limitation but rather a feature to reduce server and client stress.
All credits and my eternal gratitude for the original Skycam (and of course NS2!) go to Dushan Leska from Unknown Worlds Entertainment (dushan@unknownworlds.com).
