[ioquake3] g_client.c weapon init question

[Robert Hamilton]

Thanks for all the help.

client->ps.stats[STAT_WEAPONS] = (1 << WP_PLASMAGUN) | (1 << WP_BFG);

did the trick. 

that plus a quick client->ps.weapon = 8; to hard code the Plasma Gun at Spawn
(and not select the "highest" weapon num at spawn) works perfectly.
