Spectate in Deathmatch Based Games
« on: May 19, 2007, 07:30:42 pm »
Currently, you can only spectate while you're in a team-based game, such as Capture the Flag and Infiltration.  But I had the idea, when you're in deathmatch, pointmatch, and rambomatch, you can spectate as well.

To have this supported, this is how it should work.  When in team based, it says "Change Team" when you select escape.  In deathmatch, there is no option for that.  We could just fill in the blank space where it would be and it would just say "Spectate" considering, there are no teams in deathmatch.  Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or comments?

I never played any other games beside ctf and inf... wow i didnt know u couldnt spectate... i see no reason why you shouldnt be allowed.
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
Ill see you on the dark side of the moon

you can spect them, quit, check spectator in the join game thing, and rejoin. I'm wondering if you have to be admin to use /setteam as well...

Aside from that I do support this, why not?

This just removes the trouble of that.  And it gives the spectaters full functionality.

Of course, this is a no-brainer.

Aye, you need to.

And full support. It's always been bothering me that I have to rejoin the game to spectate. :/
