 -	- Fixed: the server would freeze after running for long enough (e.g. 24 days on Windows) due to an integer overflow in SERVER_Tick. [Kaminsky]

 !	- The result value of GAMEEVENT_MEDALS event scripts can now be used to determine whether or not the player receives the medal. [Kaminsky]
 !	- GAMEMODE flags are now validated after all GAMEMODE lumps have been parsed instead of after each one. The internal game mode name (e.g. "TeamLMS") is now printed with the error message instead of the actual name. [Kaminsky]
 !	- Added an extra check to ensure that game modes have a (short) name. [Kaminsky]
