Summary0000098: backport Doom.exe's player_t::usedown variable from ZDoom r2045 so that respawning players don't activate switches
DescriptionSwitches in front of spawn spots are activated if players respawn with the '+use' key. This was fixed in ZDoom r2045.
Steps To ReproduceKill yourself in the example WAD. If the '+use' key is used to respawn, the exit switch will be activated when you respawn.

I backported the usedown changes from ZDoom revision 2045 and the fix for these changes from ZDoom revision 2049, but can't say whether this will have side effects to the use behavior online. Please test this experimental version. It's particularly interesting if it has any effect on'http://www.skulltag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=22171. [^]'

Fixed offline, but online, the fix behaves inconsistently.

I get this feeling that '+use' is sometimes triggered twice online for some reason, as stated by many in the linked thread.

So the online behavior is not improved at all with this fix, right? In this case, I'll probably won't include the backport now but wait till I upgrade the ZDoom base as a whole.

It has improved, but it's a bit strange. Sometimes it'll work as intended a couple of times, but then suddenly, it'll not work.

On a side note, I noticed that the 'kill' command (perhaps others too) is voided until 10 seconds has passed after server start.

EDIT:

Actually, it also behaves like that in 98c, so there's no improvement online. But what causes it to "work as intended" in 98c?

Do you mean why the ZDoom fix is not necessary online in 98c?

I wonder what causes 98c to sometimes behave as if the fix is there (online).

This sounds like an archaic request, though this would help so much for a certain IDL map that we play (IDL MAP04) since one of the spawns is next to a switch, and for some reason players that spawn tend to open the switch and this makes it really difficult for the defender [usually me] as it helps people come in, or even worse... get out easier with the flag.

You're right. I also noticed that players seem to be able to push switches after map resets. If the switches trigger a map reset, they can push the switches forever, causing the map to reset itself over and over again. I noticed this behavior while testing polyobject_test_04.wad.
