Scroll, Respawn and Mole problems

[slmclarengt]

Major one apparently:
If you are dead then buy a scroll, occasionally you respawn but are impervious to damage (no getting shot), the HUD is not viewable (health/armor/etc...) and it seems as though you are dead, but you are not as you can shoot and kill just like if alive.

More minor problems:
Moles face a different direction when they spawn. [I thought I read something about this but I can never consolidate my info into one area so it does not surprise I don't know if I did]
For moles, their name color shows up making it easy to identify (especially when they face the wrong way).

That is all for now. First seeing if these problems are common before I submit a bug report.

If you want to see the 'bugs' in action, visit my server, lol.

Unfortunately I can't fix this. It shouldn't happen VERY often - I call spawn() 3 times to attempt to prevent it - but it's a prob. in the HL engine and isn't fixable :/

Any workarounds with fakemeta or ham sandwich possible?

I was at one point trying to get a different spawn method working, but that was when my server was having the issue where it would never respawn. I haven't gone back and tried it yet, maybe I will soon.

Hey ya know Yami and Geesu, I am still a "mediocre programmer" so if there is something particular you want me to review or try to implement fix, let me know and I'll have a look but I want a specific direction because otherwise I'd choose to do nothing

hmm im thinking of doing a get position and check after the person rez's and check if its in a cordinate of a spawn point and if not then re-revive him... this issues happens when people lag over 300 and try getting a spawn thing

Have any suggestions for a better captcha? heh

And yea - When I was debugging this issue (which I did VERY extensively ~year ago) BAIL informed me it was a bug in the HL engine and wasn't fixable :/
