Console improvements
* Unused console backgrounds no longer take up memory
* Input cursor can now move left and right
* Support for selections (Shift-arrow keys, CTRL-A, etc)
* Clipboard support (CTRL-C to copy, CTRL-V to paste, CTRL-X to cut)
* Fixed handling of simultaneous modifier key presses

None of this affects chat yet, that's not part of the console. I'll look at it later.
See merge request !133
I added similar checks for the other num* but it seems some MD2s break the other limits without knowing anyway ...so I've commented these checks out for now, unless we have further discussion regarding them later on
Also, the "teleport" devmode command can now gracefully handle coordinates specified outside maps with no/few thok barriers, which previously prevented teleport via the thok barrier bleed's sector floor and ceiling being equal.
Fixing various problems with MF_SOLID collision
(I, toast, wrote the original merge request, but Alam made this merge request because I made a mistake. Twice. In a row.)
* Solid objects are now no longer intangible when your z is less than the other object's.
* I originally thought the bug was limited to just solid objects on slopes (hence the branch name), and was wondering about undesired side effects - but looking at this gfy, this was a major bug that slopes made easier to expose.
* Unfixed = http://gfycat.com/BareLimitedCavy
* Fixed = http://gfycat.com/JubilantOffensiveGar
* You now properly lose your momentum when jumping at a solid object.
* The way I fixed this was a hack, but it was originally a much worse hack which resulted in very bizzare physics issues, so...
* Unfixed = http://gfycat.com/ShockingAbsoluteArthropods (also demonstrates the first bug)
* Fixed = http://gfycat.com/EmbellishedCourageousGordonsetter

Fixed players disappearing when spindashing whilst wearing multi-layer shields
* Before: http://i.imgur.com/gxUFElo.png
* After: http://i.imgur.com/NxsOg94.png
The problem was that MT_OVERLAY's default radius and height were never getting changed from 1*FRACUNIT, and that meant that when you spindashed, the game considered it completely below the surface of the flat you were standing on. Since you're not usually clipped on flats that don't belong to FOFs, we didn't notice this aspect of the issue sooner.
(SORRY FOR THE MULTIPLE MR'S AGAIN I TOTALLY SUCK AT REMEMBERING TO MAKE SURE IT GOES TO NEXT INSTEAD OF MASTER)
See merge request !124
my P_SearchBlockmap_* functions are now a single searchBlockmap function, you can choose between "objects" and "lines" with the first arg to decide what to iterate through. I also rearranged the argument order a bit for easy stack cleanup etc
I'll remove the old stuff later, don't worry, it's disabled for now
Development improvements
An improvement to Objectplace I've wanted to make for a loooong time.
* Object number up/down is now assigned to ringslinger weapon next/prev. SO much nicer to use, especially since most people have that stuff bound to the scroll wheel.
Also, some changes to the devmode overlay:
* Plays nicely with showfps on - see http://imgur.com/a/zSzvm for the various cases (showfps on, devmode 65535, and both).
* Add PF_THOKKED to the flags in devmode DBG_DETAILED (as "TH").
* "Flags:" replaced with "PF:", "Heap used" replaced with "Heap". The latter is a debatable change, but the former isn't - otherwise the line is way too long compared to the rest of the stuff.

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.
See merge request !17
Same no non-music lump requirement as music.dta, and is ignored with no error if music_new.dta doesn't exist
(should hopefully make playing around with music easier)
Also, only one shield ability is selectively blocked by being Super now, and that's because Invincibility does it too and therefore I assume that's a match balance thing instead of a keyboard clash.
v.drawScaled negative scales fix
Lua now errors if you try to use negative scales with v.drawScaled, rather than crashing as it does in 2.1.16 currently. Not much else to say here.
See merge request !126
* Bubblewrap shield bounce now no longer allows thokking post-bounce, but still allows bouncing
* plus a bunch of tiny changes to clean up code around the place.
Fixing FF_REVERSEPLATFORM clipping fixes
Forgot the case where == 0.
Tested by @wolfy852 in Top Down, where the bugs this caused were first discovered.
See merge request !121
Even more slope-related fixes
What it says on the tin pretty much:
Currently included fixes:
* Pusher specials applied to FOFs did not properly account for slopes applied to the bottom plane; this probably was just a minor slipup that appeared on adding the support in the first place, I take it? (some waterfall in the last section of SUGOI's Fudge Canyon is the only place I can think of offhand where this bug is noticable)
See merge request !114
* Some shield sounds swapped (can be reverted later).
* Partial implementation of S3K shield abilities.
* The ability to elemental-groundpound onto gold monitors without going straight through them.
* Force shield ability removed because nobody could agree on it, we'll keep it blank until another idea can get through the disagreement juggernaut.
* shields give you 1000 points
* redundant shields don't make you puase
* checkpoints give you 2000 points
* falling down a deathpit is just falling, not bouncing
Treating " as whitespace in TEXTURES (and animdefs too i guess)
SLADE adds this character in its TEXTURES editor and makes SRB2 cry unless the lump is manually edited; this just treats it as whitespace so we don't have to think too hard about it.
Also, two I_Errors now refer to the correct lump name.
See merge request !122
Proper barrel sky distortion
Skies now use proper barrel distortion in both axes, rather than just the x-axis (i.e. just horizontally) as in all previous SRB2 versions. Credit goes to Nev3r for the original change and idea.
Was going to make an option for a non-barrel distorted sky, assuming barrel distortion is the default, but I just can't quite get it to work in a way that is pleasing to the eyes. So I've not bothered with it here for now, unless someone objects to barrel distorted skies for any reason?
See merge request !35
FOF wall slope skewing
FOF walls now can optionally skew with respect to slopes (software mode only currently):
* Upper Unpegged on the CONTROL linedef enables wall skewing
* Lower Unpegged on the IN-LEVEL linedefs ^1 determine which slope to skew with respect to (off = top slope, on = bottom slope)
* If Transfer Line is used however, Lower Unpegged on the control sector's linedefs does the above's job instead
^1 (this is because they already control pegging of individual FOF walls as it is, so this is for convenience and my sanity that they also deal with skewing)
See merge request !39
Fixes to horizontal spring collision
Fixed various issues arising from collision with exclusively horizontal springs. Thamks to @Inuyasha for the heads up! Of note:
* If you hold down your jump button whilst jumping into it, you no longer immediately use your ability.
* Characters with (CA_DOUBLEJUMP && CA2_MULTIABILITY) or CA_FLOAT or CA_HOVER no longer lose track of their jump count.
Also:
* Upped the strength of info.c's red and yellow horizontal springs.
See merge request !41
Horizon lines
Horizon lines for software mode! Place a Linedef type 41 somewhere on a one-sided linedef and it'll do fancy rendering hacks to draw the adjacent floor/ceiling to the "horizon". One small thing to sort out when I remember to do so, but this is good enough for merge already.
See merge request !44
FF_ANIMATE additions: globally synced animations
FF_GLOBALANIM = makes the animation synced to the level's timer, so all objects will display the same frame at the same time
I mean, doesn't that look so much prettier?
There's also some changes to FF_MIDDLESTARTCHANCE (FF_ANIMATE behavior was split due to not acting consistent between that and SPR2 behavior).
See merge request !46
* Object number up/down is now assigned to ringslinger weapon next/prev. SO much nicer to use, especially since most people have that stuff bound to the scroll wheel.
* introducing the new friend, SH_FORCEHP (which is used as a bitmask to get the extra hitpoints of a force-shield user)
* P_DamageMobj now considers the unimplemented shield constants as well as the implemented ones.
* When not pressing any direction, you now go backwards by default - to emphasise that this is primarily for defensive, not offensive, purposes.
* The camera can now handle the player going backwards without them going completely off-screen.
* Fixed some overzealous checks.
* The spinfire ring is now capable of damaging enemies. (god, what a terrible hack this is)
* When ground pounding, you now bounce off the floor a little bit to make the ability less spammable.
* The Dodge Dash
* Allows you to dash - no control, no falling, no key response - for 2 + (number of extra shield hitpoints) tics.
* If you're holding movement keys down, you dash in the direction you're holding - otherwise, you dash directly forward.
* You're spinning (spindash spin, not jump spin) until your dash is over, then your momentum is cut down significantly and you end up in falling frames.
* It may not necessarily be super useful for Sonic, but it helps the other characters.

* http://gfycat.com/PoliticalIdealisticBallpython (outdated speed, shows any direction)
Animated sky support
What it says on the tin: skies can be animated textures now. Just set them up as normal animated textures (keeping in mind the starting texture still has to comply with the SKYn/SKYnn/SKYnnn naming format) and hey presto, your sky animates.
See merge request !34
* GFZ3 Eggmobile's laser won't change its angle when you move left and right anymore.
* Changed because its ability to move quickly was extremely punishing for new players (see ProJared's youtube video on the matter).
* http://gfycat.com/PassionateUnknownAgama (the twitching on the third laser has been fixed since this was recorded)
* GFZ3 Eggmobile will, when too far away from the ground and moving upwards, slow itself down vertically.
* This was punishing and annoying for both old and new players alike.
* http://gfycat.com/ShabbyAncientEarthworm (old values - the typical settling height is slightly lower now)
* If you hold down your jump button whilst jumping into it, you no longer immediately use your ability.
* Characters with CA_DOUBLEJUMP and CA2_MULTIABILITY no longer lose track of their jump count.
(the problem was that MT_OVERLAY's default radius and height were never getting changed from 1*FRACUNIT, and that meant that when you spindashed, the game considered it completely below the surface of the flat you were standing on. Since you're not usually clipped on flats that don't belong to FOFs, we didn't notice this issue sooner.)
* Camerascale, shieldscale, height and spinheight are now player attributes which are set to the skin attribute on skin change, not read directly from the skin.
* P_GetPlayerHeight and P_GetPlayerSpinHeight are now macros instead of functions.
* Extra protection against switching to a locked skin.
* flips the sprite ala MFE_VERTICALFLIP except you don't need to flip the direction of gravity for the object just to draw upside down
* stacks properly with reverse gravity
HOWEVER, since these changes to PIT_CheckThing do raise questions about whether there may be unintended side effects here. As a result, I may remake this for internal only if necessary.
* Sets the sortscale of the mobj to that of its tracer.
* Basically, Smiles' tails won't clip through shields thanks to this.
* http://gfycat.com/GraveGlassEwe
* Also has support for chains of MF2_LINKDRAW!
More slope fixes (aka sorry guys I made another quick SUGOI fix)
Another slopes fix branch!
This branch currently includes a fix for:
* Knuckles gliding into a slope while in 2D mode causes him to try to "climb" on air above them, if the original non-sloped height is higher. Unfortunately he still tries to grab onto places that he can't really climb on, but at least now it's on the slope itself and not in mid-air lol. This issue is encountered in SUGOI's Retro Hill Zone, if you want to check for yourselves.
* Bustable FOF-busting code for both players AND pushables not accounting for slopes
* (Unrelated to slopes): Fix FF_SHATTERBOTTOM FOFs acting like THZ goop when stood on; I added this fix as a bonus because I encountered it in a test map of mine for the bustables fix
(Other fixes may or may not appear here in the near future, I haven't decided yet. Don't wait on me to get in any further fixes before merging, that said)

Last-minute NiGHTS exiting bugfix
One single-line fix concerning the end of NiGHTS maps. Extremely small, literally zero side effects here, the only reason I'm not committing directly to master (aside from ettiquette) is that I don't have the ability to do so.
* The NiGHTS drone had a single tic of visibility when you hit the goal, which is evident stepping frame by frame through http://gfycat.com/ComplicatedComposedAoudad (the contents of which may or may not make it into 2.2). This is no longer the case.
