Allow me to spectate when cheats are on

[zwzsg]

When testing stuff, it's usefull to be able to play one team, then other, then watch both, etc...

But I can't anymore! Spring call me a hacker for merely typing /spectator after /cheat when alone in my test game!

[ 0] Player NoName connected with number 0 (client version 0.79.1.2 (0.79.1.2-0-gbb45722{@}-cmake-tdm))
[ 0] GameID: 4c6b674ab89bf2edc79eb60297174d8b
[ 125] /spectator
[ 126] Player 0 resigned and is now spectating!
[ 337] /team 0
[ 503] /spectator
[ 503] Spectator NoName tried to hack the game (spoofed TEAMMSG_RESIGN)
[ 901] /cheat
[ 901] Cheating!
[ 978] /spectator
[ 978] Spectator NoName tried to hack the game (spoofed TEAMMSG_RESIGN)

Please fix this nonsense! When I do expressly type /cheat, I want to be able to turn back and from playing a team and speccing.

Without looking at the code I'd say that's simply a missing !

If you look closer at the log, you'd see that /spectator worked once, didn't work the second time (no cheat) and didn't work the third time (with cheat). I don't know what logic it uses. But it's not just inverted one.

I have the same problem - once switched from spec to a player, you can't switch back to spec (at last in games with bots that is). Must be some new 0.79 "feature".

Yes, it protects you from beeing "resigned" by a spectator, which is usually what you want. Looks like some variables doesn't get reset properly when using "/team". That they may not work correctly is the reson for them requiring "/cheat".

No, I never said /spectator required cheat as it is now.

I said that if you are afraid that merely typing /spectator is some kind of dangerous spoof-hacking that must be stopped at all cost, then consider it a cheat. But still leave me a way to use it.

Right now I have to test stuff, and I can't because of Spring.exe is being silly and insulting my honor for no reason.

at last in games with bots that is

Maybe this, just like the problem with getting game with bots started I had previously, are due to bot not being given enough consideration in 0.79? Like, when a human plays a team, you acknowledge that this team is being played, but when a bot plays a team, then you consider that team is not being played.

please try latest master, i made a commit that should fix it (though it was nearly too easy to work).

tested myself today, seems to work properly now.

i hope all these restrictions are taken out when you are playing alone, because it doesnt make sense to limit your playing when you play alone...

It sorta work, in that I can alternate /team X and /spectator

If I type /spectator twice, I still have the message about "Spectator Player tried to hack the game (spoofed TEAMMSG_RESIGN)". Which would technically be still a bug, except it doesn't really matter, as I can still exit spectator by typing /team X.
