Simplified DM spawnpoint selection

In pure DM, this is all you need. So, you can replace your corresponding functions with these 3 and be sure to change the prototype definition in your header file and the change the call to SelectSpawnPoint() in PutClientInServer()..

Here they are:

//=====================================================
void SelectRandomDeathmatchSpawnPoint(vec3_t origin,vec3_t angles) {
edict_t *spot=NULL;
int num_spots=0;
edict_t *telespot[1024];

  while ((spot=G_Find(spot,FOFS(classname),"info_player_deathmatch")))
    telespot[num_spots++]=spot;

  spot=telespot[(int)(rand()%num_spots)-1]; // pick a random destination

  VectorCopy(spot->s.origin,origin);
  origin[2]+=9;
  VectorCopy(spot->s.angles,angles);
}

//=====================================================
void SelectFarthestDeathmatchSpawnPoint(vec3_t origin,vec3_t angles) {
edict_t *spot=NULL;
edict_t *bestspot=NULL;
float bestdistanceSqr=0;
float bestplayerdistanceSqr=0;

  while ((spot=G_Find(spot,FOFS(classname),"info_player_deathmatch"))) {
    bestplayerdistanceSqr=PlayersRangeSqrFromSpot(spot);
    if (bestplayerdistanceSqr>bestdistanceSqr) {
      bestspot=spot; // farthest destination spot
      bestdistanceSqr=bestplayerdistanceSqr; } }

  VectorCopy(bestspot->s.origin,origin);
  origin[2]+=9;
  VectorCopy(bestspot->s.angles,angles);
}

//=====================================================
void SelectSpawnPoint(vec3_t origin,vec3_t angles) {
  if ((int)dmflags->value & DF_SPAWN_FARTHEST)
    SelectFarthestDeathmatchSpawnPoint(origin,angles);
  else
    SelectRandomDeathmatchSpawnPoint(origin,angles);
}

All the original functionality remains intact while doing away with un-needed code..
