BG scoreboard does not show the current faction

[FrancescoBorzi]

Expected behaviour:

BG scoreboard should show the right faction (the faction that the player is currently playing in the BG)

Current behaviour:

BG scoreboard showing the player's original faction

---

This also affects the Warsong Gulch Flag showed in the map

As for the scoreboard - looks okay:

Had a report on the CC tracker with more on this (chromiecraft/chromiecraft#837), specifically flag colours being incorrect. Some testing verified this, but as it appears to be a CFBG issue rather than an AC issue, copying it here.

User screenshot:

I tried with 2 x Horde and 2 x Ally teams (forcing one of each to go cross faction) and flag colours bugged out every time. In one case, when a human mage on the Ally side picked up the Horde flag, it showed as a blue flag on the map. As her ran forward and out of the Horde base, it changed on the map to the correct red. Meanwhile the faction-changed nelf druid, who was changed to a tauren, picked up the Ally flag, and it showed as red on the map.

Ally mage picks up Horde flag, it shows as blue:

The nelf swapped to a tauren picks up the Ally flag, which shows as red. The mage's blue flag has now turned red as well:

My own testing was on AC rev. b3e64d010d7e.

thanks @Azcobu , I can also 100% confirm there is a problem here.

@UltraNix would you like to look into this? in your test it probably worked by coincidence, just try with more characters and you'll see it

Just commented about that scoreboard part - there is not bug with it.
The second problem with flags - it's quite complicated to fix it.

@UltraNix there is a bug, maybe it does not happen always but I was in a BG myself recently, it was 4v4 and the scoreboard showed "3 ally and 5 horde" instead. My wild guess is that it counts the original faction of the characters instead of the one from the current cfbg game

Some footage of carried flags changing colour:

In this case the colour-changing flag is being carried by a tauren druid, race changed to a nelf, who is carrying the red flag.
