These are some corner cases that can only happen when one or both
players die at the wrong place and time. This is based upon a fix by
Maraakate. This fixes issue #9.
When the monster was already killed by another monster or a coop player
some references may be NULL and the game was crashed. This was observed
by maraakte, who reported it in issue #164. I've just merged his fix
from q2dos.
teleport_time has nothing to do with teleports, it's just the time
since the last player sound. Rename it accordingly. This was suggest
by maraakate in yquake2 issue #162.
In ai_checkattack() is a check against AI_SOUND_TARGET. If the player
made a noice and the the monster noticed this noise it's true. If
that noice was more than 5 seconds ago the monster forgets that event
and continues with it's search for the player. Otherwise it informs
the surrounding monsters that something interesting has happened and
then returns false. So the problem is: Even if the monster heard the
player and can see him, it aborts at this point.
Fix this by adding an additional visibility check. Do the sound
checking only if the player is not visible, otherwise just continue.
This was reported by shoober420 and debbuged by maraakate. This fix
was DanielGibons idea. This commit fixes yquake2 issue #162.
On most implementations atof() is just a wrapper around strtod().
Calling strtof() saves one cast. For the sake of cinsistency change
atoi() to (int)strtol(), it's a noop. Reported by maraakate in
yquake2 issue #160.
The old whitelist was a leftover from the early days of YQ2. It should
run on most / all architectures, as long SDL supports them. As suggested
by smcv in issue #138 generate the OSTYPE and ARCH defines by the build
system instead of hardcoding it.
Savegame compatibility is provided by bumping the savegame version. Old
savegames are compared against the old OSTYPE and ARCH defined, new ones
against the new defines. This compatibility code should be removed
somewhere in the distant future.
Without this change the conditionals at g_misc.c:199 and 381 wouldn't
trigger until level.framenum reach it's previous value, resulting in
much to few debris or gibs being thrown. This fixes#104.
Many thanks to maraakate for the analysis and the idea how to fix it.

In ClientThink(), the float value ent->velocity[i]*8 is saved into
a short and if the value is too big for a short, in 32bit gcc builds
the short is set to SHRT_MIN, resulting in the player being pressed
down instead of up.
Now we put the result in a 32bit int first (which should be big enough)
and assign the int to the short. This still overflows, but with -fwrapv
at least in a defined way (most probably the same way the original
binaries did).
The Makefile now sets $CC to gcc for MingW builds, this should fix#3
And while I was at it, when the game lib is loaded, it prints the date
it was built, this is especially interesting for our Win32 binaries.
In rogue's RHANGAR1 the turret didn't blow up the ceiling when friendly fire
was off, because in ClientTeam() both entities were set to "" (no team),
but OnSameTeam() just did a strcmp() instead of checking this special
case (no team).
We check this now and thus it works. Hooray.
I also refactored ClientTeam() to take the buffer instead of using a
static one and to be static (it's only called by OnSameTeam() anyway).
The savegame table entry for this function was invalid, but it doesn't
need to be saved anyway, so I just deleted it from the table.
COM_FileExtension() was parsing strings from beginning to end, bailing
out as soon as '.' was found and treating everything thereafter as the
file extension. That behavior caused problem with relatives pathes like
models/monsters/tank/../ctank/skin.pcx. The new implementation uses
strrchr() to determine the last '.'.
