Is there any chance we can get the Royal Dynamic points changed so that only players who are still in the game can win?

Example:

8 People playing. Dynamic point limit of 80.

1st place player has 64 points.

First place player and one other player leave to go play elite, or RQ, or disconnect. Dynamic points limit changes to 60.

Round then finishes. 1st place player (who has left the game) is still first, so wins because the dynamic point limit changes from 80 to 60 and he has 64 points.

AFK, spectating, disconnected, rage quit or boredom quit players can win games of royal simply by playing 1 good round and being helped out by dynamic points limit.

There will be a new setting in Royal : S_ResetScoreLeavers. It's turned off by default. When it's activated at the end of the round, it resets the score of any player that left the game or is in spectator mode.

Those players should get a message. "Do you really want to leave now? All LP collected in the last round will be lost".
I can predict lots of complaints from players who "lost" some LP when leaving otherwise.

And please also implement a feature to quit a server before the next map gets loaded.
Often I want to quit but suddenly map load happends, and I have to wait until the next map starts before I can really quit.

Moral discussion here:

My opinion : Why would u deserve LP if you leave a match. For me its an unspoken rule to finish ur match as a sign of respect towards ur adversaries.

it's not about the moral discussion, it's only to warn them in case they don't know ;)

Leaving a match can have many reasons.
That a player doesn't earn some planets because of premature quit is OK.
There should not be an additional LP removal, that's all.

Hubble, lumeos, doudouk, klaklak are not playing in the siege match... so thats 40% of the players :(
Also at the bottom of the scoreboard you can see "Round 4/5 | Blue 0 - 5 red". How is that possible if its the beginning of the match?

So if I wanna spectate a specific player I need to press tab, arrow down with alt & then click on the camera icon with alt... Just to spectate a player :)


Can you look into this NADEO?

It's already done February 27 this year, look here:
https://github.com/maniaplanet/game-mod ... 0cb5b68a6e

Eole added a gear icon in left of pages buttons. When clicking it two small options appear: to sort spectators last and sort leavers last. However I have no clue why this is not public available by default yet. I use this version of the scorestable in Pursuit for my own, so it's possible to have it before major update, but it requires changing stuff in gamemode.

The score may show different things : it may show the number of players alive vs the opponents alive or it shows the score
