Also, fixed being able to change your skin colour during credits/cutscenes in singleplayer.

Revamped Level Select (platter view)
Seriously revamped every level select instance in the game to use a more attractive and easier to navigate platter view, including:
* Game CLEAR! save (Title/Pause menus)
* Secrets Menu (including custom ones)
* Record Attack/NiGHTS Mode
* Server creation (Online/2P)
* MP Pause level select (Online/2P)
As a result, the layout of the last three above menus has been changed to varying degrees of difference.
Also, bonus feature: using level select (or MAP MAPxx without -force) in Co-op multiplayer won't reset your score, will keep any lives you have above the startinglives variable, and will not take away all your emeralds. The -force thing prevents both warping directly to special stages to rack up the emeralds AND ensures there IS a way to start a new game.

Also, LF2_WIDEICON lets you do this. https://gfycat.com/MenacingClearAngora

Suggested default settings
Making a merge request for suggested new default settings, because saying "hey, I think this would be a better default, you guys should try it" in IRC won't actually get people to give you opinions on them ;p
Camera distance is 160 now, height is 25, and speed is 0.3 (previously 128, 20, 0.25, respectively). Mouse sensitivity on both axes is now 12, previously 35. The default move/look/jump/spin keys is Mystic's proposed scheme from the New Player Experiences topic (https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42095).
Camera settings also now can save to your config.cfg, and they won't try resetting back to the default at every chance it gets. (~~As a side effect, analog mode won't have higher cam_dist anymore. Poor analog mode, no one cries for you.~~ Now increases cam_dist in analog mode by x1.2!) This makes it so everything that's different can be easily reverted back to the older setting.

* Getting hit whilst on a swinging mace doesn't send you off in roll/jump state.
* P_GetJumpFlags replaces a bunch of copypasted code.
* Homing attacking a spring sends you directly on its path, rather than rocketing off in the direction you were preiously hurtling in.
Linedef type 443 (Call Lua Function) fix
Fix for https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42491
Note that the crash reported occurs only if Lua has been initialized (by having a Lua script loaded) and a LinedefExecute hook function has been added.

Screenshot slots fix
Fix for this bug: https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42508
The game should now print an error saying all 10000 slots have been used up. It was already there funnily enough, just someone goofed up in the code for finding the next screenshot name to use.

Level completion emblems
Simple port of something I made for a 2.1 exe mod that Mystic mentioned needed doing on the 2.2 Priorities topic (http://mb.srb2.org/showpost.php?p=790613&postcount=4). Adds emblem type "map", which gives you an emblem upon beating the map it's for.
Var sets specific condition flags on top of normal completion; 1 or ME_ALLEMERALDS for all Chaos Emeralds, 2 or ME_ULTIMATE for Ultimate mode, and 4 or ME_PERFECT for Perfect Bonus. These can be combined with each other, but they do not all need to be done in one shot; an Ultimate + Perfect emblem isn't impossible as they can be done in separate runs. (This can easily be toned back down to a single choice/removed entirely if requested; these were added simply because it was easy to implement for modders.)
Criticism on the way it's coded and/or how it is implemented is highly encouraged. Test wad is <root>/TehRealSalt/levelemblems.wad, pre-compiled exe is <root>/TehRealSalt/levelemblems.exe.

Analog mode's camera is now x1.2 of your actual cam_dist setting,
instead of being strictly 192. "analog on" seems to reset this modifier
every once in a while, but "useranalog on" prevents this. The wiki
itself says that you should only change useranalog though, so it
shouldn't be too big of a deal.
Camera settings: distance from 128 to 160, height from 20 to 32, speed
from 0.25 to 0.3
Mouse sensitivity from 35 to 12
Default control setup is Mystic's proposed scheme from the New Player
Experiences topic (https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42095)
Also, camera settings now save to config, and they no longer try to
reset back to the default at every chance it gets (you can die, start a
new game, or exit, all while still keeping your preferred setting)
* Fixed bug with the magnet shield homing attack and charability homing attack not properly updating the player's target/tracer.
* Made flashing of lockon/got flag icons slower.
