Summary0001912: Rename kickfromgame to forcespec.
DescriptionAs seen from this post:'http://zandronum.com/tracker/view.php?id=918#c10155 [^]'
But for the normal console command, not just the callvote command.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationAlthough this may confuse users who are unaware of the change, I have come up with a simple temporary idea and doesn't involve duplicating entries in the source or have an alias on that level.

Add an alias to zandronum.pk3/keyconf.txt
Alias kickfromgame "forcespec;echo "This command is deprecated. Please use the forcespec command instead."
Just an example.

You alias doesn't do anything useful, you need to pass arguments to the actual command.

But the suggestion is good. Before K6 told me, I would have never guessed this is force spectating a player, so I thought ST/Zan doesn't even have such command.
EDIT: don't forget about forcespec_idx, too.

@ZzZombo: The alias was just a quick example. Didn't have to work.

I had been confused that there is no forcespec command until somebody told me that there is this very oddly named "kickfromgame" command. It sounds like an equivalent of "kick", not like a forcespec command.

Might as well... this inconsistency has lived on long enough.

I like the alias idea. That would allow the use of either command, to not confuse those who are used to kickfromgame.

Tried out the command with the latest build. Forcespec and forcespec_idx work as intended.
