  1. You can join by IP using the in-game console:

    Code: Select all

    /connect 1.2.3.4

Also, if you install using the Windows or Linux updater, it creates a protocol association which allows you to open URLs of the form unv://1.2.3.4 in a browser, which can be seen in action at https://unvanquished.net/servers.

  1. What do you mean, what's wrong with spectating?

  2. The server password implementation is admittedly kind of dumb (for example entering the password stores it a cvar, which can then by read by any other servers you connect to), but it is at least possible to use now.

Turning on the chase cam is the issue

I made a wiki post on making keybinds for it so it's not much.

could you elaborate more on the password part

The command for toggling first-person follow / chase follow / free-float is 0.51.1 is +button2. There is no bind menu entry for it.
In 0.52 the command will be something else, I forget what, but there will be a bind menu entry for it.

A server owner can require a password for all players by setting g_needpass to 1 and g_password to the password.
A server owner can have some password-protected slots while leaving others open by setting sv_privatePassword and <some other cvar that controls the number of private slots>.
In either case, the user must set the password cvar to get in.
