Description rasz 2006-11-25 15:50:09 EST 
Hijacked PERS_KILLED to track only deaths that add Stage points
added int death to score_t
ScoreboardMessage sends one more parameter cl->ps.persistant[ PERS_KILLED ] 
added one more column in scoreboard
Its tested and works (tested for >2h with 3 other ppl on lan). It needs polishing UI file, I suck at Q3A UI and it looks a little ugly now.

The scoreboard is complicated enough as is. People already place too much emphasis on the kill counter, we don't want to make this worse.

Why not replace the kill counter with a death counter.
This might change the emphasis of new players.
