Topic: Staying specator when map changes

Hello World
If I'm spectator and the actual round ends, I'll be spectator again at the next round on the same map, but if an other map is loaded I'll automatically be set in a team. I think it should not. Sometimes, when I have things to do, I go spectator instead of disconnect, but if the map changes, as I'm afk I prevent a new player to join the game.
I hope admins will read this topic, and why not, answer me...

edit: I have made a mistake in the thread title, it would be nice if a moderator could correct it smile

edit²: By the way, it would be nice too if we could join a full server as a spectator.

Re: Staying specator when map changes

But if u join a full server, the server must send data to u.
So the server would lame after a short while. Oo
Or am I wrong with this?

@Appleten: the server wouldn't lame because you ca configure how many specators can come in! sv_specator_slots x (x = number of spectators)

Re: Staying specator when map changes

Of corse it would be lame. The max player limit is up to 12.
So if 12 players are on the server, no one can join at this time.
If the maximal player number getting higher server would be lame.

For example:
12 active players + 3 spectators means, that the host must send up to 15people Oo. I think this ins´t possible.

Re: Staying specator when map changes

It is. And it wouldn't be lame. Actually if twelve players join a server and all go to spectator, then twelve other player can join and play. If you a a good enough connexion to host a server, there are not two or three spectators that will make you server be lame...

This would be useful especially when considering the fact that there are quite many clans which make matches and clanwars.
Having somebody who can record a 6vs6 as a spectator would be great, cause in the end it is all about fun and editing a nice video about a match would be very pleasing lol

12 players + 12 specs would be kick-ass big_smile

Re: Staying specator when map changes

Something else that would be nice is an option, or any stuff that allows a spectator to follow a player. I mean the spectator would have the same "camera" than a player...

That´s a bit offtopic here, a thread should stick to what the first post is about.

As for the idea, I´m pretty sure it has been discussed, and my guess is that it´s already planned (just not priority).
