Re: BOZ

I have added Spawn and Type killing options and sent to Checkor. Spawn killing is configurable atm through the ini file, type killing is simply on atm. Out of time...gotta get some sleep.

Re: BOZ

Thanks Checkor! I guess I always hoped that because BOTZ were spawn and typekilling, it might reduce the negative feelings people have about it, or at least numb players to it. :)

I can add that and make it optional for those that prefer true blood lust.
