Beta 1 Patch
------------

- Fixed strafe modifier key (now works for both keys and mouse)
- Fixed joystick menu so that POV hat controls now stick and more joysticks
  are supported without buttons getting "unbound" when re-entering the menu.
  Joysticks confirmed to work are: Panther XL, Panther DX, Sidewinder Precision Pro,
  Sidewinder gamepad.
- Added separate joystick sensitivity slider in joystick menu
- Fixed problems with some level stats getting cleared after the level had
  spawned on a realm change (ie. some monsters/items weren't getting counted)
- Fixed Twister weapon accuracy bug that could cause accuracy to go over 100%.
- Fixed Twister bug that could cause lightning to stay on and shoot across level.
- Fixed multiplayer map change dropping players (couldn't find the maplist file)
- Long names are now clipped on the multiplayer scoreboard
- HUD no longer scales up when playing in a res greater than 640x480
- Fixed TNT2 graphics problems in the menu and pamphlets.  Detonator 2 driver now
  works with TNT2's.
- Fixed Tiberius whip effect not showing up all of the time.
- Fixed problems with fog still being enabled in menu and tally screen.  This could
  cause the player model to sometimes appear completely black or completely red on
  the tally screen after completing the last map in a realm.  It could also cause the
  credits to have a weird white fogging effect after beating the Nightmare Child on
  Voodoo cards.
- Psycho Launcher no longer lists 32 bit video modes or modes lower than 640x480.
- Fixed a savegame bug where switches were creating a new bounding box each time
  the game was saved and then loaded.  This manifested itself as an invisible solid
  in the place of the destroyed car in Morbid Manor (only after reloading).
- Added option scroller for binding mouse wheel up and mouse wheel down in mouse
  setup (this was added late and is not in the German release, but the German version
  still cannot use this beta patch).
- multiplayer game info now updates correctly
- ip address is saved while in the game
- server update rate was increased (server's should appear right after adding, now)
- clicking "Start" on the host game menu while editing in an edit box now uses the
  changes that were being entered (ie. you don't have to hit "enter" first).
- Profile names cannot be created with periods in them.  This was the cause of some
  people not being able to save their games.
