* 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.
* Remove PF_THOKKED every time a successful damage bounce occours.
* When this happens, spawn a number of particles based on thokitem at half scale! (Optimised, again, for MT_LHRT.)
* Also spawn these particles when a successful spring boost occours, as well as playing a twisted spring sound.
Also, some other related tweaks:
* Optimisations to A_VultureBlast, which was used as a base for the particle creation.
* Make the Metal Sonic boss use P_PlayerCanDamage instead of a custom, somewhat broken player damage detection mechanism.
* P_SpawnGhostMobj takes colorized into account.
* Fold Tails propeller damage into P_PlayerCanDamage.
* When performing an Attraction Blast, place the player in roll frames.
* Update all conditions preventing SH_PINK to incorporate thokitem and spinitem as well.
* Buff MT_LHRT travel distance at slow speeds.
* Enable SECTORSPECIALAFTERTHINK since we probably really want to use that sloped lava wave in RVZ.
* Allow for infinite lives to be set via the setlives command/Pandora's Box.
* Refactor P_DoFiring(), with guidance from Sal.
* Correct the CRAWLA HONCHO\nCAN NOW BECOME\nSUPER CRAWLA HONCHO sliding movement in non-green resolutions.
* Bomb sphere! Paraloopable hazard. Replaces MT_SPECIALSPIKEBALL.
* Blueberry bushes, both normal and Xmas, from patch.dta.
* BSZ tulips, also from patch.dta!
* Frozen Hillside badniks - Penguinator and Pophat.
* Frozen Hillside ice decoration!

* State optimisation.

* Use that to make the PRESS SPIN\nMID-JUMP thing when you get all Chaos Emeralds use the titlecard font for readability.
* Fix the GOT ALL EMERALDS page not lasting the correct, extended amount of time.
* Fix that thing where flying mid-spin didn't enact autobrake.
* Modify graymap a little on Sryder's suggestion.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] fix that thing where the addons menu will fail on files/paths with spaces in [/COMPLETELY UNRELATED]
OLD SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres in old special stages instead of rings!
* Individual timers in old special stages instead of a global one!
* Old special stages use a variant of the NiGHTS HUD now!
* Special stage damage in old special stages loses 5 seconds of time instead of 10 rings/spheres!
* All damage gained through old special stages is converted to special stage damage! As a consequence, the special spikeball has no need to be special anymore.
* Made emerald gaining function be based on special stage number rather than gained emeralds!
* Consistency with...
NiGHTS SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres now flash in bonus time. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452590553100713984/srb20032.gif
* Sphere and ring mapthingnums are now less fucked up in 'em. (Rings are 300, same as usual, while Spheres are now 1706 replacing NiGHTS Wings.)
SPECIAL STAGES IN GENERAL:
* useNightsSS is now dead. Each individual special stage is now assessed for NiGHTS-mode behaviour based on maptol & TOL_NIGHTS.
* CRAWLA HONCHO\n CAN NOW BE\n SUPER CRAWLA HONCHO end tally modification now also includes a mini-tutorial on turning super. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
* SONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452623869497573386/srb20034.gif

* All of the object types for Dream Hill.
* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
RANDOM BS:
* Turn super with the spin button instead of the jump button!
* Followmobj now correctly set with P_SetTarget instead of pointer assignment.
* Emerald hunt uses new sprites!
* Made unlock noise different from emblem gain noise! (It's the CRAWLA HONCHO CAN NOW TURN yadda yadda sound from S3K now.)
* Facestabber statues, of both the suspicious and non-suspicious kind.
* New object type for the end of grabbable chains.
* I moved my compilation .bat file to my Releases folder, so it should .gitignore .bat's.
* Random extra stuff.
* Behaves a bit differently to the one in DSZres.pk3.
* Can now punch DSZ mines!
* Also has mapthingnum 126 instead of 610.
* Some other mapthingnum changes.
* DSZ2 stalagmite is now 1009, formerly 999.
* Big DSZ gargoyle is now 1011, formerly 1009.
* Make the MF_PAIN stuff ONLY depend on mass, using the bottom 8 bits for the type and the custom sound in the upper ones.
* A bunch of cleanup of random other stuff, including an unused Deton state and an unused Jetty type's sprite.
* Made Facestabbers take two hits and have associated pain/death animations. No other changes, just wanted to make sure THIS was done.
* Move Bubblebuzz-related stuff to go alongside the secret badniks and etc.
* MF2_INVERTAIMABLE. Inverts whether P_LookForEnemies can get at; replaces a hardcoded thingy.
* MF_PAIN and MF_MISSILE now support setting damagetype via their Mass parameter. The two existing conflicts - the fuse setting for the grenade weapon ring and the Cybrakdemon napalm bomb - had these moved to other free parameters.
* A_ConnectToGround is EXTREMELY useful for palmtrees and stuff.
* Some other, relatively hacky A_ functions.
* (Unrelated) Remove the need for a "Mario block mode" for the token by making it natively compatible.
* Spikes and their time-offsetting via that Lua script sphere made. Also allow for wallspikes to do it via their angle/360.
* cv_powerupdisplay. Never, First-person only (default), Always.
* New monitor stuff.
* Fixed hitmessages.
* Some CTF stuff.
* Aaaaugh it's a lot I hate myself I need to work on my coursework.
* I'll figure out what I did here in the merge request when that's done.
* Hide the individual lives on the tab menu whenever they're irrelevant.
* Make co-op spectators appear on the tab menu.
* Hide one frame of spectatorhood stuff in splitscreen.
* Fix joining netgames whilst in a special stage not giving the startinglives.
* Make monitors that don't appear to do anything play the failure sound.
* Only make players flash if they're REspawning, rather than spawning into a fresh level - unless it's a NiGHTS level, in which case never.
* Serious refactor of - and internal exposure of - what has become S_StartCaption().
* Renaming of a few existing captions.
* The prevention of access to - or writing over - sfx_None's stuff in SOC or Lua.
* The new Lua wrapper function S_StartMusicCaption(string, tics, optional player), which essentially allows custom music captions to be created. (This is best used for stuff like final lap music in SRB2 Kart or bonus time in a thokker-like game, not a comprehensive Now Playing expy. That'd be a different kettle of fish.)
Also, updated all the lock-on stuff to use P_IsLocalPlayer instead of rolling my own.
* Put brackets around the sound names on the reccomendation of a friend who works with disability in gaming.
* Update a bunch of sound names to better match what they actually do in SRB2.
* Provides a helpful description for the hearing impaired, whether permanent, temporary or situational.
* Consvar "closedcaptioning", with on/off values available.
* Only works if sounds are on. This is frustrating. I will see what I can do to allow it to work with sounds off in future, but for now it's dependent in order to properly accept or decline sounds.
* Thanks to MI for making that wiki page a lot more comprehensive a few days ago.
* Weapon ring is now a seperate sfx_wepfir instead of doubling up on sfx_thok.
* Also, made V_StringWidth work with V_NOSCALESTART.
