Summary

0001299: Compatibility for not being able to change weapon in the middle of A_Raise

Description

I've spent a few hours trying to find out how Zandronum handles weapon raising. So far it seems that when you pass a weapon to the player's PendingWeapon, it will change to it in the middle of raising. In vanilla doom and other ports it doesn't do this. Would this be a possible COMPATFLAG?

Implications: Allows for change in game dynamics since players can switch to other weapons on spawn faster and thus kill them faster. This is extremely prevalent in duels and results in a drastic gameplay change between ports.

Steps To Reproduce

Vanilla:
- Try changing weapons when one is raising (you cant)

Zandronum:
- Try changing weapons in the middle of the raise state (you can)

Additional Information

I attempted to fix it by adding this between line 124-125 in a_weapons.cpp:

if (!(Owner->player->cheats & CF_WEAPONREADY))
return false;

While this works, you then lose the ability to change to it unless you click it only when it's ready, so this isn't a feasible option.
