Server-Sided Dynamic Entities

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Allow users to mark dynamic entities as server-sided only.

Is this in reference to having dynamic entities that are not stored in data 
files (namely map files) used by the client, but still get persisted between 
server/client when in-game? I think right now the client just ignores dynamic 
entity data in the map files, and it is only there because the server and 
client use the same map files. Should be as easy as saving dynamic entities in 
a separate map file or something.

I don't think there is any case where the client needs to know about a dynamic 
entity from file since the server will always tell the client about it.

I'm still not sure what the original request was, but I still think having 
dynamic entities only needed on the server being stored in a separate file not 
distributed with the client could be useful. So I will leave the issue open for 
that. But it is a low priority since there isn't really much to gain from it 
and it isn't the easiest thing to do.

I think the orginal request was to hide 'secret' entities that the client could 
potentially mine from the files. i.e: If you have a super secret warp or 
something you wouldn't want a user to reverse engineer.
