Improvements and fixes since 218
--------------------------------
Internet Play
* When the server switches levels, all players were thrown into the holding cell, but don't properly rejoin the next level. Fixed.
* Entering a server as a spectator then typing "suicide" on the console caused the spectator to be visible to players as a little tiny chess pawn. Eliminated.
* "RMODE" command is no longer allowed during network play (potential unfair advantage)
* Fixed object updates becoming erratic after 30+ minutes in the same level.
Internet Server
* Fixed potential crash when players are downloading files.
LAN Play
* Fixed message "Connecting to unreal://0.0.0.0/" without ever connecting.
* Fixed joining game from "find local servers menu" not connecting.
UnrealScript
* Fixed crash calling static functions.
* Added function InternetLink.IpAddrToString
* Implemented ELinkMode MODE_Binary in UdpLink, for mod authors who need to implement binary UDP protocols.
Editor
* Fixed crash on exit

Important 218 notes
-------------------
1. Unreal 218 is NOT network-compatible with previous versions
of Unreal. You can only connect to servers and other players
running Unreal 218 or later!
2. Quality network play totally depends on Unreal knowing how much
bandwidth is available on your Internet connection. There are two
ways to set your bandwidth:
A. In the "Join Game" menu, select "28K Internet", "56K Internet"
or "LAN".
B. At any time during gameplay, use the NETSPEED command. For
example, for a 28.8K connection:
* Press TAB to bring up the console
* Type the following: NETSPEED 2600
* Press ENTER
Our testing has found the following NETSPEED settings ideal:
Modem Speed Excellent ISP Good ISP Poor quality ISP
