[2.0.92] Losing weapons when player dies in coop.

If a player dies in coop he/she loses his/her weapons with 2.0.92, this was not the case with 2.0.63a.

I don't think this is a bug. But however, I did sometimes like the way it kept your weapons and prehaps it could be turned into an option.... maybe?...

Compat. option.

Well, if that's the case, I'd really like it to be a compatibility option.

No, but this is how Vanilla Doom did it so it is most likely to stay that way.
(some people were complaining about the .63a behaviour because there's essentially no penalty for dying if you get to keep your weapons)

Randy may add a compat. option if you ask him.

Actually it should be a gameplay option (dmflag) instead of a compat option since it doesn't affect maps in ways that the old behavior broke them.

True.

I second that.
