I've found the problem with tesla item in q2max

To temporaly fix it search for 'case TE_LIGHTNING:' (line ~1186)
inside the file client/cl_tent.c
in the function 'void CL_ParseTEnt (void)'

Changing from:
.....
	case TE_LIGHTNING:
#ifdef QMAX
	  ent = CL_ParseLightning (10);
#else
	  ent = CL_ParseLightning (cl_mod_lightning);
#endif
......

to:
......
	case TE_LIGHTNING:
/*
#ifdef QMAX
	  ent = CL_ParseLightning (10);  //FIXME  'Tesla' item crashes 
#else
*/
	  ent = CL_ParseLightning (cl_mod_lightning);
//#endif
......

then will run with the quake2 native effect, so dev team, take a look
for the next releases.
