Request: Allow player to set their death link status if the game does not have a death link option

[ScipioWright]

As titled.

Some games have death link as an entirely client-side option (Jak & Daxter, Tunic), so there's no way to display the intent to use death link on the site.

Unless that exists already and I missed it then sorry about the invalid issue

A workaround for that would be to just put death_link: true in the YAML. The website would extract that as deathlink enabled and the world would ignore it.

A solution would be to mark those worlds as deathlink enabled all the time, but I definitely want to avoid adding more buttons for this. Happy to take ideas in if you have any.

Gotcha, didn't realize that would work o:

Yeah, that seems like the only reasonable option here, I can't think of another one that isn't super finicky

[Eijebong]

Yeah deathlink is somewhat special, because there's no standard for it, I just "try my best" and on every YAML check for death_link, deathlink and DeathLink. It's the only attribute like that at the moment, see

Yeahhh, it's more of a "suggested" feature than anything. imo it belongs client-side, but unless your site connects to the room then you can't exactly check the tags so there's no reasonable way to get that working nicely
