Summary

0004594: Players kicked with GAMEEVENT_PLAYERJOINS don't join next map

Description

I can't confirm whether or not GAMEEVENT_PLAYERJOINS is actually related to this instance, but I am curious why this is the applied behavior.

Map included, you can kick yourself and the next map the kick no longer applies, yet the player remains spectating.

This behavior seems to happen because something in GAMEEVENT_PLAYERJOINS keeps active when we join the next map.

It does NOT happen if you turn the kick off before proceeding to the next map.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open MAP01.wad, cooperative, Doom2 IWad
2. Add a bot

puke 1 with either 1 or 0 enabled/disables kicking on join.

This causes the bug:
- puke 1 1
- spectate, then join.
- you should be in a queue.
- changemap map01
- BUG: you remain in the queue.
- spectate, then rejoin. Now you do join the game.

This works:
- puke 1 1
- spectate, then join.
- you should be in a queue.
- puke 1 0 to turn off kicking.
- changemap map01
- you join the game properly now.
