Summary0000796: moving camera when selecting a team as a spec
DescriptionAtm the only way to know what team you are looking is to look at bottom right table. Unfortunately if there are similar colours/similar names/etc its very hard to tell who you're selecting.

What should happen when you press 1/2/3/etc is the camera should move to where all that players units are (on average). Now, when you press alt with a selection of units this spot is already calculated in the engine, so all you need to do is centre the camera on that spot.

Also, you should take out the "feature" of reordering the playerlist everytime you select a different player ID, if you're looking in the bottom right and see the player you want to be, you press the corresponding number, the list jumps about and it takes a few seconds to check you're selecting the correct player.

The preceding "-" should move to the correct place- it's a lot easier visually to see a "-" moving up and down than to see the whole list changing order.

A LuaUI widget could be written to move the camera when
changing teams as a spectator. There's really no need to
make it the default behaviour.

You can use "/info 2" to keep the player list sorted by
teamID (values of 1-5 can be used to change the sorting
criteria).
