/* 

The GameEventManager keeps track and fires of all global game events. Game events 
are fired by game.dll for events like player death or team wins. Each event has a
unique name and comes with a KeyValue structure providing informations about this
event. Some events are generated also by the engine.

Events are networked to connected clients and invoked there to. Therefore you
have to specify all data fields and there data types in an public resource
file which is parsed by server and broadcasted to it's clients. A typical game 
event is defined like this:

	"game_start"				// a new game starts
	{
		"roundslimit"	"long"		// max round
		"timelimit"		"long"		// time limit
		"fraglimit"		"long"		// frag limit
		"objective"		"string"	// round objective
	}

All events must have unique names (case sensitive) and may have a list
of data fields. each data field must specify a data type, so the engine
knows how to serialize/unserialize that event for network transmission.
Valid data types are string, float, long, short, byte & bool. If a 
data field should not be broadcasted to clients, use the type "local".
