Move AFK players to spec 5-10s on map start

[knuX]

Currently auto-script moves a player to spec after 30s which imo is still too long 

But biggest impact it has is on start of map. Especially in an example of 9v10 with 9 axis. If 2 of those are AFK then you can play a first stage 7v10 and it's over in 30 seconds

How difficult would it be to make an exception to the AFK auto move but only at the start of a map?

I agree. The warmup stage should be to even up the teams as well as you could so the defence doesn't get overpowered from the beginning. With afks in play you can't really tell the actual numbers on either side.

One idea came to mind: if you can implement this and say, with 10 seconds of warmup left you put to spec any afk's - how about you extend the warmup if this results in unfair teams? So you have time to even it up before the game starts.

I can imagine this might irritate some people so it's by no means a perfect idea. Just something that came to mind.

Your easiest solution would be to enable balancer in warmup (it’s a variable inside the existent lua) and extend warmup to 40s.

And a little code to set inactivity time to 10-15s in during warmup 

You will have little more warmup and teams balanced by script

I like this, should be an easy fix for this problem

I would prefer longer warmup in general

Modifications on main server:

• increased warmup time from 30s to 40s
• inactivity timer to 10s at beginning of the map (after warmup), then 30s rest of the map
• balancer enabled during warmup
• 1mn inactivity timer for TM members, no matter the situation of the map
