Subject: Fix monsters that do not use MOVETYPE_STEP appearing choppy
X-Git-Url: https://git.rm.cloudns.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=280ebb7074c2a2ae1a62df089d82cfc67181b7e5;p=xonotic%2Fdarkplaces.git

Fix monsters that do not use MOVETYPE_STEP appearing choppy

Resolves https://github.com/DarkPlacesEngine/darkplaces/issues/82

Makes monster interpolation always apply to engine-networked entities with the FL_MONSTER flag.
