Critters spawning infinite levels, creating server lag #13

As the title says, Critters can go down ladders, creating levels forever, crippling the server. (We talked about this, adding it as an issue becuase, why not!)

Temporary fix, but better than nothing: if(mover.faction != DM.F_PLAYER){ return;}

This is temporary for several reasons; here are the ones I can remember:

Not all movers that are of the player faction should go through passages, such as player projectiles.
In future games that use this engine, F_PLAYER may not exist or cover all players.
This does nothing to solve the issue of ping-ponging between up and down ladders.
