CF2.0: Changes to constants.ini file

For MP you change settings that could affect your gameplay towards those of other players. Hence we remove it, so all "should" play under the same settings.

translation: editing that file is cheating and also violates the CF license agreement

Fact is... this file (and many others) is protected.
Thats nothing we will change.

When you installed crossfire you also accepted the license agreement (you could never have installed the mod without accepting it) and this states under which terms the mod can be used.

For convenience, here is the latest license agreement:

files are not only protected coz of the MP

people expect to get support from us when they have problems with the mod
but when people start editing files we cant give any support anymore as we most likely will face problems which have nothing to do with the original version of the mod
