- fixed problem with starting "doom3 -warp 1 -deathmatch"
  this problem is due to the generalized spawn function

10-8-98
- generalize the rancking drawing (now is the same function for in game and
  intermission)
- begin team play support work but the team name are missing

11 to 13-8-98
- continued team play created wi_teamstatdraw for shows of the tema stats
  created HU_CreateTeamFragTbl this function is called for compute the team
  frags
- added teamdamage get damage only when this cvar is 1
- use teamdamage under cooperative to don't take damage
  to understand the condition used you must use this condition :

  the mobj a shoot on mobj b : the mobj b DON'T take damage IF :
        damage < 1000            // a telefrag take 10k damage
    AND a != b                   // you can hit yourself
    AND cv_teamdamage == false   // teamdamage is desabled
    AND (
     (    cv_teamplay == true    // in teamplay
      AND deathmatch  == true    // only in deathmatch
      AND team(a) == team(b)     // you save the guys only for the same team
     )
     OR
     (    deathmatch == false    // cooperative
      AND type(a) == player      // a and b is players
      AND type(b) == player
     )

  now using "De Morgan" formule you translate it in

  the mobj b take damage IF :

        damage > 1000            // a telefrag take 10k damage
    OR  a == b                   // you can hit yourself
    OR  cv_teamdamage == true    // teamdamage is desabled
    OR  (
     (    cv_teamplay == false   // in teamplay
      OR  deathmatch  == false   // only in deathmatch
      OR  team(a) != team(b)     // you save the guys only for the same team
     )
     AND
     (    deathmatch == true     // cooperative
      OR  type(a) != player      // a and b is players
      OR  type(b) != player
     )

21-8-98

- the come back of the netupdate this function poll the timer and if the time
  has incresed since the last call it create a tic.
  This fix probably the lack of controls in svga

22-8-98

- no more individual rancking in teamplay
- no more blood when the guy no take damage
- no more red screen when the player don't take damage
- fixed all related team stuffs. Now change the team_names tables at runtime
  when teamplay change
- fixed a little bug in dehacked load it is just since we have changed
  sound_sfx table.
- change some malloc in z_malloc, added memfree command
  but memfree use available_physical_pages from dpmi and this change at
  runtime because page is allocate only when used and when we malloc our
  z_zone he don't steel the pages, therefore i have added a memset for use
  the pages. And now free phisical memory change only at change level
  i think it is caused by the midi convertion.
