Title: [done]no more teamchat when game is lost
Post by: titi on 14 February 2014, 16:51:22
3.9.1:
If you play in a team and all your units get killed you can no longer toggle to team chat mode.
I am not sure this was added by intention,  because once my units are gone I can see without fog of war, but I don't like this behaviour. So I am not sure its a bug .

When it happened:
I played with Derek and david123 in a team and I was killed( all of my units ).  After this I was not able to toggle to teamchat mode using the "H" key anymore.
How to reproduce:
I reproduced it later when by simply killing my partner units in a 2vs2 game ( I was running 3 clients and one server on the same computer ).
After this my "partner"-client was no longer able to switch to teamchat.

This is not a bug and is on purpose to avoid the dead player cheating since he sees the whole map. Team chat is disabled.

oh ok . Maybe we should write something to the console each time people press "h" key and teamchat is disabled like:

"No team chat to avoid cheating"

What about, "Team chat is disabled after death"? This way the player knows what caused the chat to be disabled.

I added a message to the console in case its disabled. ( I currently don't know how to add a new string to the translation, so this is missing at the moment )
