I created the pen tool in spectator mode.
BlamingBuddhaTV 21 Jan, 2013 @ 1:58am 
did you create a pen system mod or something?
Huze  [author] 20 Jan, 2013 @ 10:01pm 
No. I don't plan on ever doing this, it's way too ripe for abuse
CosmicHaze 20 Jan, 2013 @ 6:57pm 
with the pen system, is there a way that other spectators currently watching the game you're in can see your pen drawings?

ok cool thanks

In the next patch the pen will show on top of the minimap. Eventually drawings on the map will reflect on the world and vice versa.
