Hi! Seeing that people complain about this issue in unrelated places and even submit patches to unrelated programs, I've made the patch, which skips executing demos command if it's called right after map load.
This allows to load maps via +map cmdline param even when current game contains quake.rc with stuffcmds -> demos combo.

    The vanilla game's quake.rc ends in:

    stuffcmds
    
    // start demos if not allready running a server
    startdemos demo1 demo2 demo3
    

    DM4Jam's (https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/dm4jam.html) ends in:

    stuffcmds
    
    // start demos if not allready running a server
    startdemos demo1 demo2 demo3
    demos
    

    I'm assuming the demos is to hack around the old QS behaviour of ignoring startdemos?

    I don't think we add another hack around this hack; the correct fix is editing the quake.rc to not execute demos at the end.
