* Made it possible to switch statistics pages using left and right arrows. Their previous functionality has been given to Page Up and Page Down.
* Swap over header style to the new version for everything.
* Move Master Server into Data Options, since it needs to be exposed somewhere.
* Show resolution on main Video page.
* Optimise by using V_RightAlignedString instead of V_DrawString with V_StringWidth.
* Revamp sliders. (Requires a new patch.dta I'll upload in a little bit in order to be perfect, but does pretty well w/o replacement graphics too.)
* Revamped base video menu and moved all the relevant stuff from the Game Options Menu onto it. Still mulling on where to put the Master Server reference.
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.

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
more specific conditions; 1 for all emeralds completion, 2 for Ultimate
mode completion, 3 for Perfect Bonus completion. (These can be easily
removed 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.
* Changed the order of Record/Nights Attack and its level select menu option so that you go from the main menu to the map page to level select, rather than main menu to level select to map page.
* Cleaned up a lot of code.

Will be discussing what to do with the space freed under "server options" the heading on IRC tomorrow.
(MI, if you're looking - the mistake was that I set up an IT_CALL menu line as IT_CVAR by mistake, which of course caused a crash when trying to get ((consvar_t *)M_GameTypeChange)->string. ;P )
Updated the mid-game gametype/level select menu! Just need to combine it with the server creation menu, and then I'll be ready to make a merge request...
Still need to figure out the way to sort pressing esc on reselect level sending you back to the title screen. This will need further whittling before I can call this a solved section and move onto MP stuff.
* More comprehensive "pick up where you left off" system.
* Made individual map name selection actually take into account the map name AND the act number if the heading isn't the zone name.
* Named all the new functions/etc "Platter" instead of "NewList", to make maintenence easier and also because it sounds delicious.
* The code, as a whole, is much cleaner.
* Allows for multiple items under the same heading now, with highlights and spacing consistently handled.
* Allows for picking up where you left off between menus now (assuming the same map is available on multiple screens).
* Defined M_CanShowLevelInList in terms of the two compartmentalised functions cleaved from it, in order to ensure consistency and prevent code duplication.
Damage control + Match rebalancing
This is two branches in one since while I was working on damage-control's changes months back, I felt it was best Match rebalancing was merged in here too (thanks JTE for helping me do so).
Changes from damage-control:
* `player->health` (formerly the "HUD copy" of `player->mo->health`) is now `player->rings`, and is also now the player's actual ring count.
* `player->mo->health` (formerly rings + 1) is now always 1 when alive, regardless of ring count; if player with rings is damaged, this is untouched.
* P_RingDamage now includes ring spilling code.
* P_ShieldDamage now has a damagetype argument, allowing me to remove the last MT_NULL hack left in from the pre-damagetype days that I forgot about.
* The old "switch-to-seestate" enemy damaging behavior in P_DamageMobj has been removed. This was a Doom left-over and doesn't really affect SRB2's enemies anyway - see, Doom enemies had a random chance of using seestate or painstate, SRB2 enemies always use painstate.
* Other minor efforts to reorganise damaging code and have it make more sense, but otherwise nothing that should affect gameplay in general.
Changes from match-rebalancing:
* New weapon/ammo dropping behavior: if you have the weapon panel + ammo, you drop the panel (but not the ammo); if you don't, you just drop the ammo.
* New Match ammo consumption: Weapon rings can now be fired with no rings at double the ammo cost.
* New emerald behaviour: collecting all 7 emeralds no longer turns you super (read: Match super is dead now) but instead steal points from enemies and gives you and teammates invincibility + sneakers
* Tails ringslinger buff: Any character with CA_FLY will now throw rings 1.5x as fast.

Hardcoded music name switches
Like I said earlier, it's better if all the hardcoded music switches in 2.2 start with an underscore so that it's harder to accidentally overwrite them.
Should be accepted when music.dta is updated.

RA menu can be opened if the game is modified, but Start can't be selected. (Obvious reason: so scripts to display info can be used easier)
Fixed the stupid background for messages in the Record Attack menu, it was bugging me
R_SkinUnlock defines the circumstances under which a skin is available. For simplicty's sake, I've currently bound it to an S_SKIN variable so I can toggle it easily, but it WILL be replaced with a hook into the savegame system at some point.
* Currently has three tiers of unlock - freebie (forceskin or modeattacking via a loaded replay), Ringslinger Only, and SP/Coop and Ringslinger.
* I don't know anything about netcode so I basically decided to make R_SkinUnlock relevant only under local circumstances, try as hard as possible to stop bad skin info from getting sent to the server, and then admit defeat once the server has the information. If this is a bad choice, please discipline me and show me how to fix it.
* Character Select now checks for whether the character is hidden or not on menu load and does/undoes it based on that info, but will never touch one disabled via SOC. I also used this opportunity to optimise, checking for/filling out charsel pictures instead of doing it later. (It now also includes special casing for a select screen with zero characters!)
* Mode Attack now hides hidden characters in its character select based on SP rules.
Things that still need to be done:
* ForceSkin_OnChange. Is there a graceful way to handle this?
* No obvious skin name conflicts. Add a salt to the names of hidden skins, and then remove it when they're unhidden?
* The gap between Knuckles' skin number and the first custom character anybody adds will be way too obvious. A seperate hidden skin numbering system? Start at 32 and count up from there? There's a few ways...
* If a character select character image is not set, don't iterate every tic - iterate on first image get and then save to the struct.
* A character select screen with only two characters now has special case handling.
* A memory leak in the making has been plugged. (specifically, picname not being Z_Free'd if the loop fails to do so)
* Logic/operation simplification.
Also, some typo corrections and clarity case movements of stuff in other files I've been looking at.
* Characters disabled through SOC are outright removed. No awkward gap in scrolling - no hint they were ever there in the first place.
* Vertical loop - the character select images are visually continuous. No matter where you are in the chain, you'll always see a hint of the character above or below your current selection in the chain.
* Smooth scrolling - Moto and Prime showed me a gfy from back during 2.1 development where it was super smooth. I didn't make it as slow as that one, but the smoothness was easy to add and the reason it was removed previously - gaps in the character select leading to varying speeds - is no longer relevant.
