Server Suggestion Demo Restart Notification

[MalekIsWeird]

Suggestion Title: Demo Restart Notification
Suggestion Description: Make it more obvious and clear ahead of time and add an option to delay it slightly if possible with a hotkey.

Why should this be added?:
- saves people from dying to demo restart mid raid
- Quality of Life
- Convenience
- Doesn't compromise the necessity of demos

What negatives could this have?:
- none

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Too often does it happen where someone forgets to restart their demo or doesn't notice the small transparent notification that alerts them ahead of time 5 minutes before. Resulting in roleplay being ruined and very frustrating moments when your game freezes. This is not only beneficial to criminals who get into a lot of PVP, but especially Cops because they have to respond to a raid every 5 minutes, making it extremely easy to forget due to being overwhelmed and overstimulated by everything going on only to be screwed over by a demo restart.

Just press tab before going into a raid…
In all seriousness though this could be useful… Maybe like an obvious popup saying 20,15,10,5 minutes before demo restart would be good. And the hotkey think is probably like extremely hard to do ngl. (still would be awesome if it would be added)

I don't think it can be delayed but it would be nice to have it super obvious when its close, catches me out too much

The system can definitely be improved upon. Maybe instead of adding more notifications, we simply change the sound of the notification, in a similar way to when you finish crafting something.

Another idea is for the server to automatically force a demo restart, let's say 10 seconds into being redscreened. If you're doing a lot of PvP, this would cut down on a reasonable number of instances of being caught out by a demo restart mid-raid. It comes at no cost to implement this idea as you are unconscious on the ground. However, it isn't a catch all solution, since it relies on you actually getting downed.

Restarting Demo's when you die and etc is a fantastic idea. I think we should have a timer that shows like "Demo restart in: 2:46" and counting down on the screen would be a nice notification as well. I miss the notification alot when im busy that says in 5mins and etc.
