[FEATURE REQUEST] Auto !spec before passing !start vote

sort
Firepluk 5 years ago Please... If server knows there are afkers, it would be logical to spectate them automatically before starting the damn game It ruins big team games with massive AFK if room host is not active +7 / -0
ElTorero 5 years ago Wasn't that already implemented and running in the past? +4 / -0
Firepluk 5 years ago Probably develobsters removed it in favor of matchmaking. I don't know. But I know that custom room are fairly popular as well as big/huge team games... So we need it +0 / -0
Wonkey 5 years ago Server can't tell if you're AFK, doesn't seem to be necessary. +0 / -0
Stuart98 5 years ago Server absolutely can tell that you're AFK, otherwise !spec wouldn't work. +1 / -0

4hundred 5 years ago Removing ability to ninja start when there are 10 or more people would be good too (30s - 1min). Also allowing only one !map vote command per person over a short period. +4 / -0
Firepluk 5 years ago (edited 5 years ago) At least we got renames though! Isn't it awesome??? It's so much awaited change... +1 / -0
Wonkey 5 years ago No, i can be right next to my keyboard and server thinks i am AFK. +0 / -0
Wonkey 5 years ago Want photographic evidence? +0 / -0
Firepluk 5 years ago Meaning AFK detection is poor, it should check for mouse/keyboard activity across system not just across zk window... +0 / -0

UnifiedTheory 5 years ago I agree with Firepluk this was a feature of the springie bot hosts but for some reason was never available for custom games. +0 / -0
4hundred 5 years ago (edited 5 years ago) i recall this was working once, maybe in a dream, in-depth dream -- im not sure, however.. a game would start, and people who were on the toilet would not be allowed to participate... and the game would start, and everyone would all be there and joy began.. +0 / -0
gajop 5 years ago I remember this - idling hell, that's what it was. You try to do some work while you wait for the next game, and you get spec-ed, fuck that. Why not just do a ready check before !spec goes in effect? +3 / -0
malric 5 years ago (edited 5 years ago) Now we are in the other idling hell: one (or more) guys are really idle (would never join/move), people do vote start too fast and for 3-4 games you get a screwed balance. +2 / -0
ChoGall 5 years ago Autospec is a good thing, as long as every player gets an acoustic signal to move his mouse if he`s still there. Time to prove you`re not AFK: 30 seconds After timer ends, game starts and every player who didn`t manage to prove he`s not afk gets spectator. Please, develobs, this is being wanted for about 18 months by now! +0 / -0
