Eleven Table Tennis Auto Spectate

ATTENTION: THIS REPO IS OBSOLETE. I wrote it for an older version of the old UI. With new features and especially new UI added, it would take some effort to adapt the code...and I don't have the time. So, until the developer of ETT has added official following feature to the spectator, I'd recommend trying https://github.com/fabioedoardoluigialberto/ett_auto_spectate_simple instead.

中文版本

This script runs on PC. It will make the 2D Eleven Table Tennis PC version automatically follow ETT matches played on the headset.

Prepartion

1. Install ETT on PC (from either Steam or Oculus PC app).

2. Double click ElevenStartJust2d.bat file in PC ETT installation folder to run the game in 2d.

   1. If the game is not running in full screen mode, press alt+enter to make sure it is in full screen.

   2. Adjust view to how you want to spectate the game (WASDQE to move camera position, right mouse click&drag to pan around.). Then Use (left)shift+8 to save this view. It will be used later as the spectatoring view.

   3. Exit 2d ETT.

3. These steps are for Windows users:

   1. Download the latest executable file from https://github.com/jerryfromearth/ett-auto-spectate/releases and save it whenever you want. It bundled all the dependencies, so you shouldn't even need to install python.

   2. Create a username.txt file next to the executable and write your ETT username in it. Save it.

4. These steps are for non-Windows users:

   1. Install Python 3 if you haven't. (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

   2. Download the latest source code zip from https://github.com/jerryfromearth/ett-auto-spectate/releases/, extract/decompress the ett-auto-spectate folder to any place you want.

   3. Create a username.txt file in ett-auto-spectate and write your ETT username in it. Save it.

   4. Double click prepare.bat in ett-auto-spectate folder to install the dependencies locally.

Run it

1. Make sure headset isn't plugged to the PC. Launch ETT on your headset, click "OK" and make sure it has at least loaded the friend list.

2. Unequip headset for now.

3. Double click ElevenStartJust2d.bat file in PC ETT installation folder to run the game in 2d. If it's not using full screen, press alt+enter. Since your main ETT account has logged in on the headset, the PC version will login with the "_guest" account. Do not change the camera view!

   1. Make sure the "_guest" account" has and only has one friend, which is your main account (which is running on the headset).

4. Either run ett-auto-spectate.exe (if you are on Windows) or execute python ett-auto-spectate.py (if you are NOT on Windows) in ett-auto-spectate folder. If all checks passed, the script should output something like Waiting until user <your-user-name> is in a room.... Minimize the script window if you only have one monitor. Otherwise make sure it's not on the main monitor.

5. Again, make sure the 2d ETT is running on the main monitor and using full screen. No other window should be in front of it.

6. Put on the headset and start playing. Now the 2D ETT will automatically join the room when you join one (you can see it in the "room user list" on the right side in ETT), and leave when you leave one.

   Note: After you join a room, always wait 5-10 seconds (use the time to greet opponent etc.) to give the 2D ETT enough time to join the room. If it joins the room during a match, glitches might happen (ball reset might be needed to resolve it).

To streamline the whole experience, I wrote this windows batch file (you will need to edit the paths, obviously):

cd /D G:\Oculus\Software\Software\for-fun-labs-eleven-table-tennis-vr
call ElevenStartJust2d.bat

cd /D E:\obs-studio\bin\64bit\
start obs64.exe --startrecording --minimize-to-tray

timeout 20

cd /D C:\Users\Jerry\Desktop\ETT\ett-auto-spectate
start ett-auto-spectate.exe

Recomendation

I recommend to use the scoreboard overlay by Cristy94(XCS): https://github.com/Cristy94/eleven-vr-scoreboard

TODO

• Exit room only works when a match has ended
• Make other resolutions work
• Write more instructions
• OCR the texts
• Handle the case when spectator is kicked out from the room (don't rejoin)
• Enable ping ball?
