Polygon type lava should be deadly

Dunno if this is more like bug or was that an intention to do lava that way u can jump to lava and immediately jump from it, and lose no healt (u don't get the flames). I think it's better if lava always kill u by flames (so not immediately as deadly polys do). Now it's more like if u are lucky u don't get flames and worse case u get the flames.

Lava is meant to be avoidable, by skipping (running and jumping) you can kind of get over it and lose little or no health, I dont see why we should change this, it's already set into the minds of mappers creating climbing maps.. (if you catch on fire inevitably when skipping it might make some climb maps impossible to complete, not that it will matter much, just be a pain in the arse) 

oh and the FPS lag is fixed next version (like iDante said)

Lava polys aren't supposed to be deadly imho, it's just other kind of hurting poly.

Basic rule of firefighting: When you catch on fire, immediatedly stop (in a non-lava area) and roll repeatedly.

We've got hurt polys that do damage when you step on them (though for some reason, it may lag a bit and not do damage). But for flame polys, you can avoid getting hurt if you move fast enough + keep hopping or staying in mid-air. Though it would be annoying to see flames on your body (especially if you're a predator) and possibly do some damage to you.
