DocWilco's DeathMatch Camera is a modification for Quake made by Rogier R. Mulhuijzen on September 11, 1996. This modification makes it so that one client can become a camera, thus allowing for a TV view of the action.

The client that wishes to become the camera must name themselves CamClient prior to joining the server. Upon connecting, the camera will be pointed at the intermission point, including displaying all scores without a button being hit.

If multiple intermission points exist, the camera looks for the one with the most players. To try to prevent looking at players all hidden behind a wall, it calculates the shortest average distance and uses this to further choose an intermission point. Note that there is no way to change intermission points once one is chosen.
