This makes OpenGL stop using a specific function that doesn't really do anything for it anymore. It looks like it was used for a hack that would change the colour of polygons for the flashpal equivalent in DOOM.
I made it so ST_DoPaletteStuff doesn't set the flashpal in OpenGL as it already does its own hacky overlay and doing that would cause all the textures to be flushed more mid-level, it could be enabled for more correct flashpals, but they still wouldn't effect fog or lighting.
This means the palette will be set when going to the title screen, and twice when starting a map, (causing the OpenGL cached textures to also be flushed at those times)
* DBG_PLAYER split out from DBG_DETAILED. (The difference I'm intending here is whether it's referring to stuff in the player struct, or stuff in the mobj struct.)
* Function pointer for text so both modes can show the same stuff if it's not taking over the entire screen, and only show the "INFO NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS RESOLUTION" if it's in danger of going off the bottom.
* Fix that one comment Digiku mentioned. ;P
* Make extra lives/100 ring rewards consistent between lives being relevant and lives being infinite/not present, which was a problem this branch made evident when Race ended up getting the infinite lives symbol!
* Prevent ANY input when blindfolded.
* Make CECHOs always perplayer'd. (A little hacky; quads will need work here.)
* Make NiGHTS link timer bounces not a mess, and only when the colour changes.
* 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.
* Make TIME part of HUD count down in a bunch of circumstances where it was otherwise some other seperate thing.
* Make race countdown happen in a bunch of appropriate circumstances.
* Refactor race countdown.
* Remove a lot of useless stuff from H&S/Tag UI.
* Make co-op/competition/race end-of-act countdown use the race countdown and bigger HUD font.
* Remove useless PLAYING/SPECTATE text from lives element.
* Merge lap counter into lives element.
* Move some other text around.
* Completely redid how splitscreen works, with eventual support for quads. Squish per-player stuff automatically into the right places! Works in GL, associated flag kills V_SPLITSCREEN.
* Seriously update the lives-drawing function for all gametypes, with strings that replace the lives number whenever it's missing (deprecates SKINNAMEPADDING).
* Improved how the nosshack works, alongside many other refactorings.
* Lives position now more consistent between players in splitscreen.
* Ringslinger weapon bar is now at the same height as the lives pic, and also more centered horizontally.
* Begin tweaking emerald icon locations for ringslinger gametypes.
* Remove in-game team names from team gametypes, since this information is (mostly) conveyed by the lives pic.
* Change the horizontal spacing of the emeralds on the special stage tally screen.
* (unrelated) Fix a reference to srb2.srb instead of the now-correct srb2.pk3.
* Make the NiGHTS link text pulse, like in the original game!
* Fix going from NiGHTS special stage as Smiles to a normal level losing your followitem.
* Each time you die, the number of game overs you've had is counted.
* Your save file updates to record this.
* The number of startinglives is determined by the number of times you'ved game-overed, with the maximum being infinity lives (thereby providing a cap on the number of game overs you can go through in a typical game).
Requires a new patch.dta, but I'm not uploading that yet because not happy with the icon we've got going for infinity lives on the save select menu.
* Fix an issue where everyone being game overed except for one person, and then kicking that one person, meant the game over trigger was never met.
* Fix an issue where the spectator text could be overridden with a count of the number of remaining players to complete the level.
* Fixed a few glitches with spinning. (Unrelated to the branch, but exposed through new_coop testing.)
* Crash prevention if total somehow becomes zero.
* Don't waste time multiplying and demultiplying the HUD check if it's just gonna net you the same number.
* 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.
* Make the default value of cv_playersforexit "All".
* Correct the greying out of the lives counter for cv_cooplives == "Single pool" to only be when you can't respawn.
NEW COOP BASED:
* Add "Infinite" option to cv_cooplives, inspired by SUBARASHII. Lives still exist, but are hidden from the player's view, and are prevented from falling below 1 at any cost. As a result, made the variable CV_CHEAT.
OTHER MULTIPLAYER BASED (semi-related):
* Made cv_autobalance an on/off switch which determines the allowed difference based on the number of people in the server, instead of a weird and opaque number from 0-4.
MENU BASED (not related):
* Add horizontal arrows to menu options which respond to the arrow keys.
* Make the menu arrows bob.
* Switch out the seperate arrows for combination arrows on the joystick menus.
* Minor cvar description tweaks.
* Don't attempt to respawn anybody when changing cv_coopstarposts and nobody CAN be respawned.
* Make Rings transparent (and not flash) when you're a spectator.
* Fixed oversight where late joiners may not actually get lives.
* Fixed oversight where zero-livers could spawn in.
* Reinstated flashing because a crawla walked onto one of the spawnpoints and we immediately got a game over.
* Rejiggered the overlay drawer so the printing was consistent between normal spectatorship and game overness.
* Gave lifedistribution a "Sharing" option to go along with its previous individual and stealing options.
* Made the game over graphic and music only happen if everyone's out of lives if you're sharing or stealing lives.
* Fixed a bug where game over wouldn't come to fruition because it kept on happening each tic of the countdown2.
* Made spectator stuff display in Co-op splitscreen.
* Make setting steallives to true respawn every game overed spectator.
* Make a minimum on the number of lives GetLives can get you.
* Add "You'll steal a life on respawn" to spectator screen.
Needs a bunch of changes to HUD rendering, especially in splitscreen, which doesn't try to show spectator stuff whatsoever. Also, if you're the player whose respawn determines when the map reloads, you'll see the spectator text during the front half of the fade. Unless, of course, it's 2-player mode.
* 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.
*P_LookForEnemies is now side-effect-less and only provides a pointer to the found mobj
*player-jumping is dead, long live PF_STARTJUMP
*per Mystic's request, CA2_GUNSLINGER has a targeting icon. It also has a more restricted vertical aiming range.
*mobj for this is in the game as requested
*fast teetering animation flag
*general code cleanup
* PF_NIGHTSMODE is now CR_NIGHTSMODE as part of player->powers[pw_carry]. This is because it's mutually exclusive to every other "carry" type.
* PF_SUPERREADY is dead because it literally just checked for all 7 emeralds and 50 rings. That's it. You couldn't even appreciably alter its presence with Lua. That logic has been placed back in P_SuperReady.
* Speaking of, actively enforced not being able to be Super and NiGHTS at the same time.
* Also on that note - SPR2_TRNS is now the NiGHTS transformation. The Super transformation is (FF_SPR2SUPER|SPR2_TRNS).
* SPR2_NPAN is now SPR2_NSTN, since it matches Super Sonic's stun animation rather than the pain animation.
* Fixed a bunch of things where Super float was handled badly with 2AM brain.
* Fixed the R_ProjectSprite error going out of spr2names' bounds.
* Fixed order of FF's in dehackéd.
* Fixed that thing where Super Sonic was blue for 1 tic after transformation, and the life icon was a blue Super Sonic.
* Create a normal skin, but replace the S_SKIN lump with an almost empty one named P_SKIN.
* Provide "name = existing skin name as one of the first line (comments allowed)
* Reset individual spritenames back to zero sprite2s (or one for SPR2_STND to prevent complete removal) via "reset = SPR2_****" statements.
* No support for changing skin properties that are non-visual at the moment, but I don't really feel like it's wise to have those changable with patch alone. (Hello, tons of "modern Sonic" wadfiles which just change vanilla Sonic's ability to CA_HOMINGTHOK!)
* Sprites patch over.
To see an example in action, look at <root>/toaster/smilespatch.wad.
* 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.
* 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.
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.

* 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).
* When completing a NiGHTS stage with a non-zero link, the link could flash up in the final few tics before the fade to black. This just checks for player->exiting to make sure it shouldn't be shown.
* Several new supercolours.
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERSILVER1-5 (for fun) - "Silver"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERPERIDOT1-5 (nyeheheh) - "Peridot"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERCYAN1-5 (for fun) - "Cyan"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERPURPLE1-5 (for fun) - "Purple"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERRUST1-5 (mecha/metal sonic) - "Rust"
- SKINCOLOR_SUPERTAN1-5 (shadow/silver the hedgehog) - "Tan"
* SKINCOLOR_SUPER1-5 renamed to SKINCOLOR_SUPERGOLD1-5, one index for darkest is changed - "Gold"
* SKINCOLOR_TSUPER1-5 renamed to SKINCOLOR_SUPERORANGE1-5, ported properly to the new palette - "Orange"
* SKINCOLOR_KSUPER1-5 renamed to SKINCOLOR_SUPERRED1-5, ported properly to the new palette - "Red"
* new S_SKIN attribute - supercolor - uses an entirely different function to get the names (R_GetSuperColorByName instead of R_GetColorByName)
* a fun little secret - typing "god on" in the console whilst super makes the player hyper (visual only, no sparkles - just rainbow flash) - can be removed if no fun is allowed
This actually passes most diehard tests, as opposed to the old RNG.
It's also similarly fast.
Internally the PRNG generates a fixed point number from [0,1) now,
which makes P_RandomKey and P_RandomRange much easier to
calculate. P_Random is just a simple shift, as well.
Also, the lack of floating point math in P_RandomKey and
P_RandomRange now is probably for the best.
Monster's miscellaneous meddling
A miscellaneous assortment of code-cleanup and other changes, plus fixing up SRB2's tangent array so it behaves more as expected (especially on the Lua side).
More specific details of the changes:
(MUST-HAVE CHANGES)
* `finetangent[]` has been entirely redone in the same manner as finesine/finecosine.
* Lua's tan() function shifts `finetangent[]` results by `ANGLE_90` to get what you EXPECT it to return (e.g. `tan(0)` actually returns 0 now). This means finetangent itself doesn't need to change its general arrangment, this only affects Lua specifically.
* Lua's tan() function now also doesn't go out of `finetangent[]`'s bounds at all. Before, `tan(ANGLE_180)` through `tan(ANGLE_MAX)` and such would just give you values unrelated to the array in question, which was clearly a bad thing.
(CAN PROBABLY LIVE WITHOUT?)
* `finecosine`'s definition moved from r_main.c to tables.c.
* Created `P_CheckTimeLimit` for `cv_timelimit`, much like `cv_pointlimit` has `P_CheckPointLimit`. It cleans up `P_UpdateSpecials` a bit at least.
* Some code cleanup relating to translucency maps - these are kind of unimportant, I was about to stop `FF_TRANSMASK` being used everywhere, but this was apparently a bad idea so I backtracked a bit.
* Re-added `_MSC_VER` check around MSVC-specific code in doomtype.h, in case it wasn't defined (and `__OS2__` was). Also left a comment there regarding `__BYTEBOOL__`.
* Fixed an apparent copy+paste goofup in `joyaxis_cons_t[]` for the Wii-specific code.
See merge request !10
*player->health (formerly the "HUD" health) is now to be known as player->rings, and now acts as 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
Damage in normal SP/Coop gameplay has been tested and still works fine; still a lot of mess to clear up though
Tag damaging probably is broken now, I'll fix this later
