Description

Finally add a working spectator mod(e) for staff. I've made two PRs for CTF V2 to fix the encountered issues which were approved by a bunch of people and they were for some incomprehensible reason still refused to being merged. This should IMO include:

  • visual invisibility, ofc not only but especially when joining the game
  • not being pointable
  • a /watch command that doesn't get the spectator uncovered when the watched player does /m
  • no join or leave messages
  • do not show full privs list of spectators to normal players
  • do not show spectators in /team, /who or /status
  • exclude spectators from the match summary or rankings if possible
  • anything else?
    Conclusio: Spectators should be completely inexistant to normal players
    Maybe you can use this as some kind of checklist @olliy1or as I've seen you've been working on a new PR already.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing spectator work in PR #24 and compare it with this issue's checklist. Verify the requested behavior for invisibility, /watch, messages, privilege visibility, team and status listings, and rankings. Done means spectators are completely hidden from normal players across the listed views.
