Summary0002510: Please implement voodoo dolls in single-player with multiplayer emulation.
DescriptionIn single-player, there are fewer monsters and I don't respawn when I die. In client/server I can neither pause nor save the game. Single-player with multiplayer emulation has the best of both worlds and it is my favorite way to play when I want to play alone, except for one rather big issue, maps that depend on voodoo dolls are broken.
I mentioned this in the forums, and was told that voodoo dolls were never implemented in single-player with multiplayer emulation.
Steps To ReproduceOpen the test map in single-player with multiplayer emulation (coop) and use the switch, and then the voodoo doll should open the door. If the door doesn't open, voodoo dolls are broken.
Additional InformationA fix for this would make my day/week/year. It is also limiting my mapping because I feel like I can't use voodoo dolls in my maps since they would be broken, too. The problem is major for me, but I chose minor because I am probably in the minority using this mode.

 This is a pet peeve of mine and I worry that this feature request might have been forgotten. Surely I am not the only player who uses single-player with multiplayer emulation. It is awesome except for the lack of voodoo doll support.

 Since you are working on a new version (3.1), now is the time for feature requests. I wanted to bring this to your attention, but I don't want to be annoying, so I promise not to bump this again this year.

 Currently helping a friend make a mod that requires multiplayer emulation enabled to play properly in SP (as it uses survival's lives system with 1-ups), and not having voodoo dolls working in this mode breaks a majority of megawads.

 The example wad had the player starts reversed so I fixed it.

* The voodoo doll works well, but if you start the game as a netgame or use "map map01" after enabling multiplayer emulation, exiting the map causes your player to lose all weapons in the next map.
* Entering the map as a spectator in multiplayer emulation still doesn't have working voodoo dolls. This also seems to happen online actually. Is this intended? I think maps will break with this behavior.
