Allow network events in title level

Without this, ui→play communication is total and absolutely impossible without the use of exploits.

I would like to add during intermission screens to this request as well...

This is a bug, not a missing feature. Apparently some code performs incorrect checks on the game state.

I do see that SendNetworkEvent only checks for gamestate != GS_LEVEL. This just seems like a one-line change.

That's precisely what I suspected here. Of course it needs to check for GS_TITLELEVEL as well.

Well, I sent a pull request for it. That really is the only change needed.

The behavior of the netevent console command was left unchanged, was that intentional or not?

Itmakes little sense, the player is not supposed to take control in a title level.

It's useless from a keybind use case also; pressing anything at all will simply open the menu. Hence why the CCMD wasn't touched.

Got it, thanks. Might've been useful for debugging though, since the console still works in TITLEMAPs.
