Summary

0003564: Cvar to disable "x joined the game"

Description

I use SetDeadSpectator() to simulate better joining/leaving in zandronum, but one problem I ran across is that I can't disable this message, which makes this appear everytime someone joins midgame and is SetDeadSpectator'd. Would it be possible to have a cvar to disable this? I can log my own join message.

Notes
(0020721) Dusk (developer) 2019-06-04 19:34	Would it help if the message was printed after 1 tic of the player joining? That should suppress the message in this case. I'd prefer not to add another cvar for this case.

(0022900) Fused (reporter) 2023-08-05 20:23	Hi Dusk, sure, if `SetDeadSpectator()` omits the message when it's called within that time, then that suits me.

(0024681) Fused (reporter) 2026-03-02 11:51	This can be closed now that the `GAMEEVENT_PLAYERJOINS` has been added which removes the need of setting dead spectators.
