[fixed] r2604: pausing/resuming network game without effect

[tomreyn]

Added in svn rev#2601:

The following apply:
- only the server (or headless admin) can pause/resume a network game.
- to pause/resume press ESC in game and select the pause/resume button to toggle the state.

This didn't work for me while testing it on r2604, map 'cliff way', with six Mega CPUs of various factions, one LAN player (observer) and one local player (game host, also observer).
Clicking the 'Pause/Resume game' button on the host had no visible effect at all - the game just continued for both server and client.

works for me in r2610

Hmm, it doesn't work for me in r2610 when the server host is an observer.

I think this is maybe somehow ok? I mean why should an observer have control of anything?

[tomreyn]

Because this observer is also the (non-headless) server host/admin, and only this person is currently able to pause the game.

I don't think it has to be possible, but it is surely counter-intuitive.
