Does this still happen in 2.0?

Still happens in 1.2 and 2.0.

You don't get large frag messages when spying a player as a spectator.
If you're in-game then you will see your own frag messages while spying another player.

Thanks again for checking!

The question now is... should this behavior be preserved? Or changed?

It should be at least fixed. I find it unacceptable to leave it unfixed imhafo.

Code fixed below (client_KillPlayer - cl_main.cpp):

// Display a large "You were fragged by <name>." message in the middle of the screen.
if ( ulPlayer == static_cast<ULONG>(consoleplayer) || (ulPlayer == static_cast<ULONG>(players[consoleplayer].camera->player - players)) )

// Display a large "You fragged <name>!" message in the middle of the screen.
else if ( ulSourcePlayer == static_cast<ULONG>(consoleplayer) || (ulSourcePlayer == static_cast<ULONG>(players[consoleplayer].camera->player - players)) )

This should be addressed in:'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/commit/f388708b73ebc48e7b5e4fd27fa8c93025c96d6b [^]'

Large frag messages now appear according to the spied player's perspective instead of your own.

This seems to work now. Thank you very much for fixing this, BTW. It's been a long time since this request was made. Great work!
