We can set a standard for friction sectors in maps and people can then do what they want with it.
Also caused problems with Ice and FOFs above friction sectors.
Precipitation sprite overflow fix
This fixes artifacts of rain/snow sprites appearing on-screen in levels that have rain/snow, if said sprites were high enough above the camera. This kind of thing was previously fixed for sprites of regular objects (and textures of FOFs?), but apparently the fix wasn't applied to sprites for precipitation as it turns out.
I found this most easily reproducable in SRB2TD's Stormy Streets level, because some of the invisible FOFs make raindrops continually splash right up at the sky ceiling itself. Position your camera underneath them right and ...voila, ghostly precip sprites apparently appearing. (You'll need to make a SOC to make the level playable in vanilla SRB2 mind)

Mushrooms rewritten to not use Instathrust, instead they jack up your accel to 10x. Feels nicer.
Floor mushroom panels no longer activate while above them
Mushrooms force player to accelerate (and cannot brake)
K_PlayTauntSound works now. (YES YES YES HUP HUP YES HUP HERE WE GO)
Star and Mega sfx might stop correctly now in netgames (need to test)
Item box radius and height increased from 32 to 36.
(various large invisible blocks used in the level cause rain to make splashes high above the main level, high enough to make ghostly rain splash sprite artifacts appear sometimes in nearby areas)
Intermission timer is back down to 20 seconds unless something breaks with auto-transmissions again.
Also I remembered to enable Magnets this time. Super low odds on it though.
Consolidated the turning and drifting values to k_kart functions for easier editing
Removed 200cc. 50/100/150ccs are a weird amalgamation of the prior values.
This is used by Command_Addfile in the MD5 calculation code, so that it can search subfolders properly and allow addfile in netgames to treat them the same way as in SP
Record attack custom exit fix
This fixes the bug reported here: http://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42342
Record Attack now no longer allows the tally to be skipped, whether by custom exits or by Lua etc.

Dedicated console shift-down fix
This fixes the special console window used by dedicated mode not properly telling the game when shift is held down since the console improvements added in 2.1.17. This means shift+1 is properly interpreted as "!" again rather than 1, shift+- should be "_" rather than "-", etc.
Sorry LJSonic your problems from pre-2.1.17 are probably just your keyboard being for a different locale than the one most SRB2 players play with so I'm aware, I'm not sure what can be done for the time being. =V
Fun note, you can see how the game interprets un-executed input to the console window by playing normal (not dedicated) SRB2 with `-console`, which creates a second window for the console just like you'd see for dedicated mode. Drop down the console on the main SRB2 window, switch to the console window and type something in (DON'T PRESS ENTER), and you'll see the input appearing in the input space in the console window at the same time!
