Resolve issue #399 in the silliest way possible: by having Brak be yeeted off the platform by an explosion at his feet, preventing the downed mech from being anywhere near the escape pod.
* Expose this via additional upper-16-bits flags of A_FlickySpawn.
* Use this to make Snailers not spawn their flicky inside the wall they're attached to.
* Make the behaviour of Egg Capsules more consistent mechanically regarding the flicky spawning, using the above as one relevant element.
* Add "twinkling" and "landing sounds to paper signpost.
* Fix whitespace on definitions.
* It says locvar2 is unused in the comment for A_SignSpin, but it's used for the "doesn't have a spawnpoint" thing. Make it deathstate instead, so the object doesn't disappear.
* Tweaked to use new sprites.
* Jet fume behaves much closer to Lach's wonderful work.
* Instead of clobbering tracer to spawn powerup overlay, use hprev.
* Change timings. One second less to charge up, but two seconds less to spin them out.
* Remove terrible pinch overlay in favour of new dashmode-mimic flashing.
* Add an alternate DEMOMARKER for ending the Metal Recording on death, which kills the Metal object as well.
* Add some more relevant exceptions to the "most objects are removed when touching a deathpit" thing, primarily for the sake of ghosts and Metal playback.
* Make the skin to record with Metal rather than Flesh Sonic. (Allowed even if not unlocked!)
* Make the object that plays back the recording actually use the Metal skin, rather than just a seperate spriteset. (The boss will still need the spriteset, though.)
* Actively record the player's sprite2, frame, and followmobj, just like regular ghosts do.
* Disable dashmode while recording, for a fairer race.
* Fix a probably long-standing bug where, while recording, being "hurt" would get Metal stuck in pain frames until they physically left the area of hurt.
* Always start Metal recording in wait frames for bonus taunting.
Other relevant changes:
* Increment DEMOVERSION *again*.
* Improve the Record Attack ghost followmobj recording to accomodate Metal's jet.
* Increase the datatype width of spritenum_t read/write for Record Attack ghosts because SUGOI 4: Back With A Revengance will probably also use more than 255 sprites alone.
* Return to standing frames (or prolong them if you're in them, rather than going to wait frames) if the player rotates on the spot with enough force.
* This was specifically done *for* Metal recording, but I decided it looked good enough to enable all the time.
* Red and yellow Boost panels!
* Added because SUBARASHII and KIMOKAWAIII had several levels using them, and I wanted to make them look better.

* Uses the mapthingnums of Glaber's SOC resource boosters, but absolutely nothing else - not even the magnitudes.
* Apply MF_AMBUSH to force the player into a spin - even if they don't have a spin ability!
* Banpyura!
* A Crushstacean with a spring instead of a crushclaw.

* Wanted this for a while, finally added it.
* Improved springs.
* Add pw_noautobrake to disable autobrake for half a second when touching yellow horizontal springs, and a second when touching red ones, even on the ground.
* Add pw_justsprung to disable directionchar for a few tics while touching any springs with a horizontal component to their velocity.
* Add the diagonal spring flag options Red and Yellow Diagonal Springs have to the Blue Diagonal Spring as well.
* Started but decided against a tip of the hat to the CD spring spin, hidden behind #define SPRINGSPIN.
* Make directionchar "lag behind" a little bit in waterslides.
* Improved flame jets.
* They now use new sprites for having their flames move upwards and sideways, instead of having them always face downwards like in 2.1!
* Fixed a mixed declaration and code error in A_RolloutRock. (Sorry Lach!)
* Make the Amy Cameo only spawn in SP, Record Attack, or Co-op unless it's the Clone Mode.
* Improved ZB config.
* Add above new types.
* Add Blue Diagonal Spring, which existed in the source but not the config.
* Re-order enemies in ZB config by zone (but keep them in the Enemies section only).
* Make the center be the object stuff collides with, so that if the door is open people can't slip through.
* Add an MF_AMBUSH enhancement to allow non-minecart players to travel through.
* Make A_SaloonDoorSpawn more customisable. (var1 = object type, var2 = distance sides should be placed apart)
If you don't, the reaction was "WHAT?? Why is he here? This is GREAT but, what??" And while the reaction is on the positive end of things, it's stll clearly not advisable for our defining Big Reveal of the already huge update.
To this end: Here is a mini cutscene! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/428262628893261828/626207624043429898/srb20005.gif
* He's digging through Eggman's trash.
* Clearly doesn't expect to see you!
* Ready for a fight all the same.
* You can attack him during the mini cutscene if you're impatient.
* Skipped if you give him MTF_AMBUSH.
* Requires new assets (including map) to test, but I'm not ready to make a MR yet because I have other thoughts first.
Also, since I was poking around in p_enemy.c, I fixed A_Boss1Laser's issues (not working with direct 2.1 port states and having the weird secondary attack).
Glide speed now starts at whatever speed you were traveling at prior.
If glide speed is below actionspd, the glide accelerates towards it.
When landing from a glide, player now enters a landing animation (SPR2_LAND); they cannot move in this state, but they can jump or start a spindash.
Ground-sliding after a glide can now be cancelled into the landing animation by releasing jump, where the same rules apply.
Climb speed increased x1.33.
Also:
* SPR2_XTRA - instead of defining lumpnames in S_SKIN, those kinds of assets can just be bundled into the spriteset. Required for ending cutscene stuff, I guess, but also done for HUD life icon and character select image (aside from Sonic&Tails, still SOC'd in).
* Minor oversights in SPR2 support corrected.
* Better evaluation, featuring ending assets.
* Intro has warping-in blackrock, reusing ending assets.
* Cutscene text now supports lowercase (intro and custom).
* Disable the asset-fucking "gamma correction" I put in over two years ago when implementing colour cube. (This is the only thing I could move into another branch if you MUST, but it's basically invisble in the diff so w/e.)
* Don't blank the screen if the top left pixel of a screen-covering patch is transparent. (Checked via nonzero topdelta for first column)
Bugs:
* OPENGL ONLY: The first ~20 frames of both endings are fucked. A little help here? Might be HWR_DrawFadeFill's fault, which I just created. OR it could be in f_finale, but I doubt it, since it doesn't appear in Software.
Sea Egg is majorly changed according to Mystic's ancient instructions (excepting the flying FOF rock, I cared not for fucking around with FOFs).
Specifically:
* Faster paced fight.
* Instantly travels horizontal distance.
* Fakes no longer hurt papa, and spin out like a deflating balloon when he dies.
* New attack: When surfacing, produces an electric shockwave. Replaces underwater shock. Designed for new, shallow arena.
* Support for multiple bosses in the same map distinguished by parameter.
Will upload map to fight the new battle in on the MR.
* Add more context clues to his fight, including an indicator for which laser attack is being used after chargeup.
* Make missiles able to vectorise him.
* Add another laser orb attack - vertical slice - and change the laser orb sequence to accurately reflect that horizontal is the hardest of the ones in 2.1.
* Optimise TC_BLINK, and fix an issue with TC_ALLWHITE that somehow avoided coming up in testing.
* Fix colorized bosses losing their colorization when flashing, by forcing TC_ALLWHITE.
* Smoothen Pity Shield animation to go with sphere's updates to Nev3r's sprites.
* Added LHRT object, designed to be summoned with CA2_MELEE.
* Gives a pink Pity Shield (SH_PINK) on same-team player contact.
* Deals damage to non-player enemies.
* Harmlessly fades into nothing when touching an enemy player, players with SH_PINK already, and players capable of applying SH_PINK to others (through non-Lua methods).
* Basically, you-know-who is the Healer of the party whenever they're around. Fun consequences for the Co-op and CTF metas.
* Port across the additional colour translation maps, including mobj-level support for "colorized" objects.
* Make Fangboss and both Metal Sonic objects greyscale if, on spawn, there is a player in the game who is not a spectator whose skin is that character.
* Allow bosses with MF_GRENADEBOUNCE to opt out of the MF2_FRET colour-flashing tomfoolery, and give this flag to Fang.
