Summary0000203: sv_keepteams + changemap == can't join same team
DescriptionUsing changemap when sv_keepteams is true causes people to join the game as a 'team spectator'. They can team chat on the appropriate team, but trying to join the game results in a message that they're already on X team, and they can thus only join the game on the opposite team.

sv_keepteams shouldn't keep you as a spectator. Upon mapchange, you should be ingame immediately thereafter. This really messes up priv, because you either have to remember which team you were on (sv_keepteams false) or remember to join the opposite team on map change. If you try and join the same team and fail, you are delayed from entering the game by ten seconds.
Steps To ReproduceTry this:

1. Start a multiplayer tdm server
2. Set sv_keepteams true
3. Changemap...either wait for time to expire or callvote it.

 This bug is mine, by the way. Please attach me to it.

 I couldn't reproduce it with a "skulltag.exe +teamplay 1 +map d2dm1 -host +sv_keepteams 1" server. Is it possible that it only happens when you have some kind of password set?

 Looks like it indeed only happens if there's a join password set.

 This should fix the problem that you possibly end up as 'team spectator' after a "changemap" map change.

BTW: I agree that being forced to spectate after a "changemap" map change on a server with join password (although it has been exactly like this for at least four years) is pretty stupid and confusing (a lot of people already complained that this happens on their private coop servers). I'll see if I can change this without too much effort.

 Ok, I reworked the join password code and now players shouldn't be forced to spectate after a "changemap" map change anymore. This is an experimental binary with the new behavior and needs to be tested carefully in order to ensure that the change doesn't open any possibilities to join without knowing the join password.

 I noticed that bots don't keep their team properly after a map change if the teams are uneven. Perhaps it's like this with players too.

 Can you elaborate the bot problem with uneven teams and tell me the exact dmflags settings necessary to reproduce it?

 I use standard TDM settings with a join password set. It seems like it doesn't matter whether the teams are uneven or not. The bots switch teams after each "changemap" map change, but only if there's a join password set. FYI, I'm doing this online, not offline.

DMFlags : 20612
DMFlags2 : 8192
DMFlags3 : 0
CompatFlags : 0
CompatFlags2 : 0
Join Password : "password"

The steps I follow:

1. "sv_keepteams 1" in the server console.
2. Add 4 bots to the server.
3. Connect your client. Don't join the game, it's not needed.
4. "changemap MAP01" in the server console.
5. If the bots haven't switched teams, repeat step 4.

 Thanks! This hopefully fixes the problem.

 Great. I'll consider this fixed then.
