This issue also seems to occur offline, the player is unable to select the shotgun until the next map, and it has to be brought up manually. This happens both offline and online.

Quote from Fused
Online, the player is not given a shotgun.


When I use the "printinv" command in the console online, the client has the shotgun in the inventory as expected according to the list printed.

Does this flag originate from Q-Zandronum? In that case, the flag behavior has to be improved upon a bit further I think, since the behavior seems to be consistent between offline and online play.

I found one difference that makes it behave different between online and offline play: "alwaysapplydmflags" being 1 or 0.

* If it's enabled by setting it to 1, the shotgun isn't brought up offline.
* If it's disabled by setting it to 0, the shotgun is brought up offline.
* It's never brought up online no matter what "alwaysapplydmflags" is set to.

So I can confirm that it's broken online, and also inconsistent in behavior offline. The flag probably has to be fine-tuned a bit more to make it consistent in behavior.

I want to add to this issue.

In offline games, morphing into a class with +NOMORPHLIMITATIONS enabled retains your momentum and pitch after morphing, which means you will not stop abruptly nor have your looking direction centred vertically.

However, in online games, while the flag does let you retain your momentum, it fails to retain your pitch, which means that your vertical mouselook gets moved to the centre of the screen.

That's another way this flag does not carry over the behaviour it exhibits offline to game sessions that are online. You can reproduce this issue with this same file by unmorphing using "morphme" in console, then doing "morphme actualplayer" while looking up or down. On doing so, your pitch will get reset online, but will be retained offline.

-

Furthermore, it appears that despite having defined a morph flash "MapSpot" in the MorphActor function, the game still produces a morph and unmorph flash in the form of teleport fog online, when in reality there should be no effects or sounds whatsoever since "MapSpot" is an invisible and soundless actor. I am fairly certain that this is a new bug introduced in 3.2, since this was not present in 3.1.

Thanks for testing! I'm assuming that the extra issues that Evil Operative reported (e.g. "in online games, while the flag does let you retain your momentum, it fails to retain your pitch...") in this ticket have also been fixed, right? If so, I'll go ahead and mark this ticket as resolved.
