Just a clarification:
"- Added new Default Stock Action Item Grappling Hook. Grappling
hooks are usable in Mannpower mode and servers that enable it.
Once equipped, press and hold the action key to use it. Use to
move the player toward the hooked object."
Does that mean the grappling hook can be enabled in non
"Mannpower" servers/maps....and if so, how do we enable it? (I
can see some interesting uses on certain custom maps).

How exactly does one enabled Mannpower mode on the given
maps. I've tried both maps and I cannot see anything
special. Is there a command?
Thanks
