    fix also makes ramps slightly faster

    1.4.1 had a bug that caused a sharp speed drop (this is also fixed)

  • RG ammo box 10->7
  • si_fps limited to 90fps for q4mp/, now declared in gamecode so mods can change their max
  • predict weapon changes for the local client. more responsive on high ping

  • revert the projectile code to 1.4.0, not trying to predict projectiles anymore

    (was causing too many bad artifacts)
