Summary0002158: GameType() returns incorrect values for some gametypes.
DescriptionSo I just came across this issue when trying to make a mod that calculates experience differently between team games and non-team games. GameType() erroniously returns GAME_NET_DEATHMATCH in Team Deathmatch, Team Last Man Standing, and Team Possession. Domination, CTF, Skulltag and the generic "Team Game" work fine.
Additional InformationThe gametype check in PCD_GAMETYPE is very basic and only checks teamgame for truth.

 Zandronum distinguishes between GMF_TEAMGAME and GMF_PLAYERSONTEAMS, ZDoom doesn't have anything like this. I could easily have the function map GMF_PLAYERSONTEAMS to GAME_NET_TEAMGAME. Is this what we want?

 I'm having a similar issue where GameType() is returning GAME_NET_COOPERATIVE during offline single-player.

I'll add a test wad. Notice the CMPGNINF, DECORATE, and SCRIPT lumps.

I'm using docs at'https://zdoom.org/wiki/GameType [^]' and I am checking for GAME_SINGLE_PLAYER or GAME_TITLE_MAP as validation for my "IsSinglePlayerGame()" function.

My mod needs to detect if it's in singleplayer mode or not, so this bug is a little game-breaking for me at the moment. And PlayerCounting= 1 stuff won't suffice.

I don't think so. IMO it's better to have a new function for that.
