[suggestion] Spectator mode enhancement
Allow players to mark themselves as soft spectators in a lobby. This would solve the issues that a player gets leadership while afk. The suggestion is:
- add a cvar, cl_spectate for example.
- When an active leader quit the lobby, always assign leadership to a player without cl_spectate mark unless there is no other active player
- When an active player joins a server lobby and the leader is marked as spectating, reassign leadership to the active player
- Do not count spectating players When voting
This should solve the issues of too many afk players take over a server and active players can't do anything via voting
Additional advantages:
- Can add a button/checker in lobby to toggle/show spectator status
- If the game detects a player as afk, then the spectator mark should be set automatically
- Since the lobby browser will be redesigned, perhaps it can show both the number of active players and spectators
