Summary

0004378: Ally icons appear when coop spying with chasecam if spied on player is in chasecam too when connecting

Description

Some bizarre issue I noticed while testing the cl_hidecountry feature is that some clients will observe the ally icon above players when coop spying with chasecam enabled. This is apparently not the normal intended behavior.

From narrowing it down, it seems to be caused by the player being spied on also being in chasecam mode himself when the new client connects to the server.

Steps To Reproduce

1. zandronum -host -iwad doom2.wad +sv_nomonsters 1 +sv_cheats 1
2. Connect client A to the server, join the game and use "chase" to enter chasecam mode.
3. Connect client B to the server and use "spynext" followed by "chase". The ally icon will appear above client A even though it normally wouldn't.
4. Use "chase" with client A again to exit chasecam mode.
5. Use "reconnect" with client B to reconnect to the server.
6. Use "spynext" followed by "chase" again with client B. The ally icon doesn't appear this time, due to client A not being in chasecam mode this time.

(0023934) Kaminsky (developer) 2024-08-13 14:45	'https://foss.heptapod.net/zandronum/zandronum-stable/-/merge_requests/167 [^]' The icon of the player being spied on should now always appear correctly if you, the local player, are in the chasecam mode instead who's being spied on.
