[98] Heretic "RAMBO" Ammo Cheat

Refer to this old thread:

I said that the backpack was not supposed to be given in any ammo cheat.
However, this is not the case with Heretic. You get the backpack with the stated cheat. Apparently this is the case since there is no other cheat code in Heretic that gave a backpack (in Heretic, it is called the "Bag of Holding")... so I'm wondering if you changed the behavior of the "RAMBO" cheat in your fix.. it is working as intended in the current version of ZDoom [98]. I should've done a little more testing.

I guess I was asking for clarification of what the changes made post .98 did to the "RAMBO" cheat. But rereading that thread, I think it hasn't been affected now.

And the IDFA/IDKFA cheat (for Doom) wasn't supposed to give you a backpack, either, but it's been this way since the early days.

Stop nitpicking about cheats. I think this is an area where a port developer should be allowed some freedom to make the cheats more useful. So far nothing good has come out of these reports.
