If you've watched EU TF2 this week with Jon or me on camera, you might have noticed an increased number of airshots being caught on stream.
Now I'd like to claim that we've both gotten some gamesense, but really we're just cheating:

This is a webpage that gets the streamer 20 seconds advance notice of certain game events. For now those are:
- Caps
- Rounds
- Medic deaths with uber drop indicator
- Kills on medics
- Kills by medics
- Sniper kills
- Spy stab kills
- Ubercharges
Here's an endorsement by some scrappy US streamer:

There's also something for the casters. To not ruin their spontaneous AIRSHAAAAWTTSS, they get a feed that's just synced up with STV, so they don't get spoiled. They also get graphs with the live kills and damage: http://i.imgur.com/sPR9jfO.png
The EU casting orgs VanillaTV, TeamFortress.TV and BlackOut have access to this tool, but I think it's time to bring it to the other side of the atlantic if there's interest for it.
On the gameserver side there's a few simple requirements:
- Plugin providing advanced logging: TFTrue, SizzlingStats (maybe not airshots?) and F2's Sourcemod plugins take care of that.
- An RCON command has to be run on the server. Either the casting orgs give the server admin an rcon line to run, or the server admin shares the rcon with the casting org so they can do it directly from the tool.
That's it really, questions, suggestions and feedback welcome.

Damn Arie, this looks pretty freaking sweet. I haven't been a part of any other games' competitive communities but I really doubt other games get this kind of awesome support from their players.
Keep on being the man.

Ah yes...the problem with that right now is performance. I can't just open it for the general public in its current form. So it would be some sort of invite-only circlejerk for now.

Excited for this becoming more public. It helps casters and streamers alike. Good for medic drops as well.

Is this something that can only work from a live stv feed, or would there be a way to use it with an stv demo?

Technically possible by importing the logfile for a match, but a bitch to sync up with playback, so not something I'm looking at supporting now.

Good idea, 2+ kills within 10 seconds or something could work quite easily.
eXtineShould add Medic Arrow Heals
I'll take a look how those are logged and see if I can find a way to filter the interesting arrow heals.
Looking for 2-3 casters/streamers to try this out, bonus points if you're in the Americas. Send me a PM here or add me on Steam. I'm away for the weekend, so might be slow to respond.

What resources would you need for this to become public? :)

Maybe nothing ;)
Any casters/streamers looking to give this a go should send me a PM here or on Steam. Remember that you'll need rcon access, or at least someone else to run an rcon command for you.
Some events require extra plugins to add the correct events to the logs. TFTrue and F2's plugins both add all the things. SizzlingStats doesn't have headshots and airshots (I think), same goes for Livelogs.

I understand you can't just let everybody use the backend on your server, but is the backend opensource/available for others to run on their own servers?

So this would not work on esea servers right?

You have to be able to execute a console command on the server. I don't think ESEA allows that at all so it would require their cooperaton.

I was going to write a bunch of excuses why I won't open source TF2 Live Stats, mostly because I don't want the code tied to my name.
Instead, I've decided to Mann up and put it on Github: https://github.com/Arie/tf2_live_stats

Couldn't this be used to make highlights videos? I mean, if you know where the airshots, drops and caps timestamps are it should be easy, right?

Enjoyed the i52 stream? This tool is one of the reasons so many airshots, medic drops, crossbow and ubersaw kills got caught on stream (also, David is a rather good cameraman ;) )
Would be nice if other streams started using it.

You can guess which match this came from ;)
