I like the idea of having to have two players to complete a map. One player and another player having to pull two leavers at once to open a door is what I thought of when I saw this.
I like to think of the X-labs as a huge complex, and Blaskowitz only infiltrated a small section of it, 'Death's Head's section'. So maybe you could include an X-labs map, showing a different, bigger section of the complex, a bit like in the Single-Player add-on Time Gate.

It doesn't have to be XPsave that lasts forever. It could be that a player goes offline, and if they are not online within a day, or an hour, or something, their XP is automatically deleted. It's a good idea as sometimes servers do crash, or you get disconnected for whatever reason, you loose your score you might have worked so hard on.

I just had a good idea on how to implement this. Looking at some of the server-side mods of Enemy Territory, there is a mod that is called ETrun. It is a bit like "Trick Jump" (i'm sure you've heard of that before), accept a bit more... brutal, with faster corners and more speed, and you are on a timer to get the best time possible. (video). Most of the servers record your time if you are "logged in". What I mean by this is, you have an account on the modification's website, and the server mod is linked to the account on the modification's website (in this case it would be trak.be). The account could be a general forum account.
This probably sounds a little confusing, so let me write it a bit more clearer:
- A player registered on this forum.
- The player connects to a server.
- The player logs in with a command like "/xplogin [username] [password]".
- The information is sent to this forum, and if the login information is correct, it sends the XP back to that player.

I know this might be a bit hard to implement, but at least it's a way to implement some kind of XPsave system. I guess each server will need to be identified by something (maybe by the server IP, or by a small file that holds an ID for the server) to stop a player having the same XP for each server he/she visits.

I have created another bugfix for this bug:
- [Medium] Cannot read documents/notes, mouse appears. Also, you need to hold down the Activate button for it to show, if you let go, it disappears, but the documents/notes do not appear anyway.
I don't know if you are removing this on purpose, but it is a very simple fix. You missed out the line:
    loadMenu { "ui/clipboard.menu" }
So when a document/note is selected in-game, the game doesn't know what to do as it has not loaded any UI for it, this line will load the UI.
There is only one thing I have not tested with this fix, and that is with other players online. I don't know if when one player selects the document/note, all the other players will also have the note in front of them, and cannot move.

I have also found a couple bugs with g_limbotime:
- When g_limbotime is 0 the server will crash.
- When g_limbotime is 50 or anything less than 50 (including any minus values), you will never respawn once killed.

Maybe you should try and make g_limbotime value set as seconds.
Any decimal values should be ignored, the default value should be set.

And one other bug in Escape1 (i found this a while back, just forgot to mention):
- In flagzone mode the flag up by where the snipers are ('Upper bunker'), players capture it, and still spawn at previous flag (first flag caught).

I was online with two other players, so altogether there was three. Of course two players or more is what Co-Op is about. Also, I something to add; At the end of a map, some maps fade out of the statistics very slowly, some fade out quickly. The long fade-out may be something you are including so players have time to read all the statistics. But I don't think it would take (roughly) 10 seconds for players to read it all, 4-5 seconds yes; players would get impatient. So maybe all maps should be the same fade-out time as the original Single Player.

Maybe you need to run your server in 'dedicated 2' mode, I have found that I have the same problem.
This error is obviously reproduced by running a dedicated server, it if does not happen on a local server.

Also, I have some more bug reports, I will added them later once I have found more. For now I am only onto testing the map Forest; I might have to skip this one for now due to this error as I test for bugs as well as running a dedicated server. Maybe you should come visit sometimes, it's name is '#ETCLAN.net CO-OP*'. I cannot give the IP out as it is host on my PC for now, and my ISP uses a dynamic IP address.

I got something a bit more specific on this bug:
- [Medium] Some bugs with the UI still. For example, when on a server, and click on "Join Server", and you press Esc to go back to game, you are disconnected and taken to the main menu.
You can reproduce it when you click "Join Server" when already connected to a server. You then click on a server and click on "Server Info". You may notice the background will change, when you close the 'Server Info' pop-up, you will notice you have been taken back to the main menu.

I've had very little experience with RTCW UI (in fact, none at all). However, I have made one of the most advanced menus in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. I had a look at the UI for this bug and I found it looks and is laid out very similar to ET. So I managed to construct a working (tested) fix for this bug you could include in the next release:

This definitely makes sense, good thinking! Maybe you could make it configurable for server admins who want killing of civilians. Just an idea.

PS: Just so you know, I am happy to update this topic when new bugs are found/explained. You can use it as a base for bug fixes, if you need to of course.

I managed to collect a couple more bugs:
- [Major] Civilians cannot be hurt or killed, surely, when they are killed the mission fails? Yet they cannot even be killed or hurt.
- [Medium] Some bugs with the UI still. For example, when on a server, and click on "Join Server", and you press Esc to go back to game, you are disconnected and taken to the main menu.
- [Major] More and Many enemies options do not work well when fighting Heinrich I, the new enemies that spawn start attacking Heinrich I instead of you.

If you type in /a1_pass, /a2_pass, or /a3_pass you will be able to see the passwords on that server for that admin, which enables anyone to be able to exploit this by logging in easily as an admin as they will know the password. Logging is not an entirely good solution, because you generally don't want players who you don't intend to logging in as an admin at the start, and not after you see the log files in potentially the next hour-day or longer. Players who you don't want logging in as admins can potentially be dangerous to the server and it's players.

Added a few more bugs, including a severe security bug:
- [Critical] Any user can type into the console 'a1/a2/a3_pass', press enter and they will see the passwords, which then enables anyone to login as a game admin. This is a severe security issue.
- [Minor] Music does not change to alarm-themed music when alarm sounds. Fear it may be global.
- [Medium] Enemy shooting distance is not limited, they can shoot from endlessly far away, for example, they can shoot from second to first stations at tram.
- [Medium] Some doors are open when they shouln't be yet.
- [Medium] In the goblet room, wall flamethrowers do not burn you or the enemies.
