Summary

0003559: Remove SetDeadSpectator()'s obituary

Description

It's useless. It indicated the player suicides when that hasn't even happened. And ontop of that it can annoy alot when people join just to get SetDeadSpectate()'d in my mod, which I use to keep people out, and which is probably the way most people use this in their mod, and people can add their own message to the server or this player.

Notes
(0020166) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2018-10-28 20:04	I didn't intend SetDeadSpectator to trigger this obituary. So I consider this to be a bug. Can you make a minimal example wad?

(0020168) Fused (reporter) 2018-11-01 11:41	Sure, I'll do this later today if possible.

(0020406) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2019-02-17 20:54	Any update on the minimal example wad?

(0022913) Fused (reporter) 2023-09-16 15:45	This issue appears to no longer be the case, either because it's fixed or I happen to fix it on my end. This can be closed.

(0022914) Kaminsky (developer) 2023-09-16 16:11	For the record, since 3.1 players that are turned into dead spectators are killed using the "deadspectate" damage type, which is hardcoded to not print obituary messages (and allows modders to override the death animation when this is used). Thanks for confirming that this is working.
