ZDoom

Fixed.

After days lost to learn how to create patches (Thank you Gez), I've done a patch which seems to fix the problem. I've also changed the sv_ command, but I don't know if the ini changes it after the upgrade. Hope it helps.
BTW in the patch there is a nitpick correction if you like it.

I have latest SVN, [/quote]
Oh, i don't. That must be the thing.

		// If suiciding is disabled, then don't do it.
		if (dmflags2 & DF2_NOSUICIDE)
			return;

		// Kill the player
		Net_WriteByte (DEM_SUICIDE);

	{ bitflag,	"Disallow Suicide",		{&dmflags2},	{1}, {0}, {0}, {(value_t *)DF2_NOSUICIDE} },

	DF2_NOSUICIDE			= 1 << 22,	// Players are allowed to suicide.

Hmm ... I've checked the code, I don't know which code is wrong:
in p_interaction.cpp:
[code] // If suiciding is disabled, then don't do it.
if (dmflags2 & DF2_NOSUICIDE)
return;

// Kill the player
Net_WriteByte (DEM_SUICIDE);[/code]
Or in m_options.cpp:
[code] { bitflag, "Disallow Suicide", {&dmflags2}, {1}, {0}, {0}, {(value_t *)DF2_NOSUICIDE} },[/code]


What about correct this comment in doomdef.h:
[code] DF2_NOSUICIDE = 1 << 22, // Players are allowed to suicide.[/code]
?


[edit]Nah, not needed. It's better to change the following names IMHO:
DF2_NOSUICIDE -> DF2_SUICIDE
"Disallow Suicide" -> "Allow suicide"
sv_disallowsuicide -> sv_allowsuicide

I tested both, for the record. My results mirror Ed's in both cases.

Hmm, I thought the problem was he wasn't in netgame mode. however the CVAR applies for me even if I'm in SP mode.

[quote="ZDG"]Of course, i meant killing [i]myself[/i].[/quote]

I have latest SVN, this bug is present, AND if I disable suicide, I cannot kill myself using the console. I have NO CLUE what this dude is smoking.

And make sure you are in netplay mode

[quote="ZDG"]Of course, i meant killing [i]myself[/i].[/quote]

Hmmm.... I'm curious about this:
1)what version are you using?
1)what happens if you use the latest svn beta, if you don't?
3)what happens if you try doing a fresh install of zdoom in a different folder, then retry what I say?

[edit]may help tracking someway the broken revision[/edit]

Of course, i meant killing [i]myself[/i].

[quote="ZDG"]I can kill using the console both times.[/quote]

You're doing it wrong.

I can kill using the console both times.

Interestingly enough, I just tested this myself and the option does, indeed, seem to be reversed. Wonder how long it's been this way...

[quote="ZDG"]Really? It doesn't does that to me.[/quote]

When "Disallow suicide" is set to true, it means that you can't kill yourself, but in game you can die by typing "kill" in console.
When instead the option is set to false, it means that you can kill yourself, but in game you can't die by writing "kill" in console.

Really? It doesn't does that to me.
