How do I configure the server to allow a player to spectate after they have joined a team? In addition to this it would be nice if I could set it up so when players are dead they can spectate anyone regardless of team.

mp_allowspectators "1"

I tried that already but it don't work. You can choose spectate at the beginning but you can't switch to the spectate team without rejoining the server. My config file will probably be useful. Rcon password and email removed.

mp_forcecamera = "0" (restricts spectator modes for dead players, default is 1 so u need to add)

Thanks guys for that. Oddly enough after setting mp_forcecamera I noticed the spectate option show up when I was dead. Do you know if there is a way to get that option to show while I'm alive?

I believe mp_allowspectators 2 might be the command you're looking for. I think 0 doesn't allow spectating at all, 1 only allows you to switch to spectate when dead, and 2 allows you to switch whenever you want.

But I could be making that up.

I checked and only 0 and 1 did anything. 0 disallows and 1 allows but only when dead or before actual round start (during freeze). 2 does the same as 1. I went back and checked and the server that I thought had it so you could go to spectate during play didn't actually allow that.
