* 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!
* Fixed some big bugs with the DSZ light beams.
* Made multi-mare special stages work, in a troll way - the Chaos Emerald disappears in a puff of smoke, and the Spinbobert laughter sound plays... >:3c
* Reverted the mobjtype number changes from the source SOC/Lua, which we can do later when doing a final pass of the levels.
* State optimisation.
* Serious cruft-removal of the NiGHTS drone thinker.
* Fix the issues where the player wouldn't curl into jump in waterslides or dropping off rope-hangs.
* Tweak NiGHTS player flashing.
* Add text colour support to the titlecard font.
* Use that to make the PRESS SPIN\nMID-JUMP thing when you get all Chaos Emeralds use the titlecard font for readability.

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

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.)
* Better Robo Hood arrows.
* Shield break animation for Egg Guard. (Temporary state slot so I don't have to compile from scratch until I do something more complicated later.)
* Suspicious Facestabber Statue animates a little before bursting open.
* Fix Facestabber radius.
* Fix some stuff in Flicky functions that could be overwritten in Lua call actions by mistake.
* Facestabber statues now have fun breaking effects.
* Fake coronas for candles and prickets.
* hnext and hprev are properly dealt with in MobjThinker if P_MobjIsRemoved.
Move old fix for too large maps having rendering issues from R_CheckBBox to OpenGL's HWR_CheckBBox
From what I know, this effects at least Aerial Garden and Seraphic Skylands
* 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.
The FixedMul() C implementation would produce off by one results,
causing constant desyncs on 64 bit builds and builds without an
ASM implementation of the function.
This is fixed by shifting instead of dividing, possibly avoiding
rounding errors.
* Blue diagonal springs, because that gap is very, very odd.
* Improved A_SpawnFreshCopy.
* Tweaked P_LookForEnemies for consistency's sake. (Previously, it was impossible to make a spring that could neither be homing-attacked or attraction-shotted.)
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)
No hardcoding of states, but the test .wad they're stored in right now is predominantly state, object, and sprite definitions/assets right now - the only hook is for setting the colour of the balloons!!
* 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.
Also move the Bouncy FOF sector special check above the FOF heights checking in P_CheckBouncySectors, because it means not having to waste time calculating FOF heights only for it not to be bouncy anyway :P
* Add damagetype to P_RadiusAttack (optinteger in lua, A_Explode var1).
* Removed the prevention of MF_BOSS objects from getting P_RadiusAttacked. This was a holdover from DooM (I checked) - a way to prevent the Cyberdemon from gibbing itself when firing point blank into a wall, and also a way to make it and the Spider Mastermind harder.
* Enemies are solid to other enemies movement-wise now.
* (Fun little aside - if you remove MF_SOLID from a monitor, it now behaves like they did in Sonic Adventure (poppable by colliding with, not just attacking).
* Fixed Metal Sonic battle conflict in MF_PAIN/mass not picked up earlier.
* Miscellaneous tiny code tweaks.
* 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.
* MF2_FRET application and removal.
* Flashing when flag present.
* Bounce player back on successful damaging.
* Add their spawnhealth to the chain.
* Reduce code duplication in P_TouchSpecialThing.
* Play with Crawla Commander a little bit as a test of its power.
* 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.
This means that, if the three paths are not the same, you should be able to tell if at least one of them has a file that just had a bad MD5. Most relevant for Linux peeps I expect.
Note: Untested as of writing
* 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!
* Again, tweak the spawning code to take maximum advantage of these gains.
* Fix potential crashes with MT_NULL mace/chain types supplied.
* #ifdef out the height-clipping code. It needs more TLC than I can give it right now, and the existing behaviour is less obviously broken (sadly enough).
* Fix chainmace points, which were apparently broken without anyone realising.
* Completely rework how mace/chainbars are spawned to reduce the number of matrix multiplications required EVEN FURTHER!
* Reimplement the maceretry solidity stuff (effect 4).
* Flip the mminlength stuff so that existing dev maps don't break badly.
* Fix hacky chainbar grabbing.
* Tweak height of tinychain a smidge.
* Fix ability to turn chains (still disabled by default, just at least want the option...)
* Replace max speed setting with a "minimum chainlink distance" setting - if greater than zero, that many chains will not be spawned from the center outwards. Doesn't affect the head of the chain at all, since otherwise what's the point? :V
* Handle all chain objects as a hnext/hprev chain.
* When removing mobjs with hnext/hprev, "repair the chain" (make the h links meet).
* Fix hidden slings, which I accidentially broke when I revamped maces the first time.
* Kill MF2_MACEROTATE. Not needed for anything anymore.
* P_MaceRotate now available to Lua to make up for it.
* Related: Made modifying hnext/hprev using Lua safer, so it keeps the reference counts in play.
* 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.
I don't fully understand this, but it's what software does and it fixes the issue of the lighting in DSZ3. Also don't need the extra call to R_Prep3DFloors.
* 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.
Use > 90 && < 270 instead of >= 90 && <= 270. Fixes a bug where if you fly directly up (flyangle 90) or directly down (flyangle 270), that registers as a backwards direction, so you trigger the loop detection by flying BACKWARDS, not FORWARDS. This edge case (only possible via JUMPTOAXIS) should default to FORWARDS looping.
I don't think it does anything for us anymore, and might even break things with slopes.
Someone let me know if I'm wrong and am breaking things horribly here.
Transformation based on screen space would make sense if we didn't want anything in the world to effect the sprites.
This should allow sprite splitting and sorting of sprites with level geometry easier.
stransform is no longer needed.
* 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.
Solid walls *can* be cut
Fix issues with water and fog FOFs not cutting each other out correctly
Fix Fog colourmap and lighting setting that is done here.
Remove HWR_SplitFog
There is currently a bug with FF_DOUBLESHADOW (that also exists in software) but has a larger impact here. When 2 FF_DOUBLESHADOW lights are directly stacked on each other the bottom one has its height set incorrectly. This causes all the Fog in the timed gravity flipping section of ERZ2 to be drawn and it looks really bad.
This reverts commit 121fcd8369.
The reason I am reverting this is because the last commit actually fixes the *old* screenshot functionality, as the screen is being drawn back onto the buffer after they're swapped in the "real" size. Meaning the old function actually works perfectly fine now.
They still aren't perfect, but now they are at least not quite so obviously just translucent polygons over the level. A mixture between partially modulating the background colours and adding the fog colour. Notably white fog blocks look like they're brightening what's behind them.
Additive was also setting noalphatest before, can probably decide that depending on what it needs anyway. I don't think it's currently used anyway.
Sorts all translucent sprites and MD2s so they're drawn after all the opaque ones. Fixes most of the observable issues between translucent MD2s and opaque sprites/MD2s.
Only use glCopyTexImage2D when first creating the screen texture, use glCopyTexSubImage2D anytime after that as it does not define a new texture each time.
Flushing of the screen textures has been implemented for when the screen size changes (so that the screen textures don't stay at a wrong size) and the game is closed, I believe they would leave a memory leak before.
The Far clipping plane did not need to be nearly as high as it was, the new value is 32768, which I suspect is about how far software can render before it completely falls apart.
It is desirable to increase the near clipping plane to between 6-10, but it can introduce more issues with close geometry not being drawn when the player or camera is scaled or viewheight is set to MIN in first person view. It would also stop sprites from being drawn ever so slightly too early, but this isn't too much of an issue and isn't too noticeable with those values. Might look into scaling near clipping plane in accordance to camera scale in the future.
The reason for wanting to increase the near clipping plane is because the small value can cause very noticeable Z-fighting where there shouldn't be on older GPU's, usually Intel ones, that don't support 24-bits for the depth buffer.
* fix screen to properly truncate the filename to just the real name only
* if the real name itself is too long, use ellipsis and paste in parts of the start and end of the actual name
note: I haven't actually tested if this works or compiles yet, I haven't the time right now
Turns out compiling for Linux 32-bit using the Makefiles never actually defines LINUX! Apart from that, most of the existing Linux-specific code in SRB2's source code (except for tmap.s) actually uses __linux__ instead anyway
- controllable strengths between 0-31 for COLORMAP lump like before
- arbitrary colour indices in the palette via TRANSMAP lumps, with strengths 0-9
- exposed to Lua as v.fadeScreen(color, strength)!
* Remove last vestiges of V_STATICPATCH.
Additionally, place some optimisations in both software and OpenGL; in particular one has been added for when all of back and front sector (floor and ceiling) is sky: since everything is "open" anyway, we can simply the usual checks involved.
Thankfully it was really just a copy+paste of the code I already tinkered with for the normal ceiling sky based thok barriers, but tweaked for floors instead
(I suspect polyobject planes don't actually need the minx/maxx hacks anymore, but I haven't the time to test that tonight nor is this branch really suited for it anyway)
* Thok barriers with slopes now render fine in software
* The solid "sky walls" between different-height thok barriers adjacent to each other are gone. Forever.
This potentially allows FOFs and polyobjects to display sky flats on them properly, unless skyboxes are involved in which case they'd fail either way
I also updated or added comments to some places of the sky drawing code and related where useful
* 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.
* ArchiveTables: print an error if invalid key, to alert script author potentially
* UnArchiveTables: if the key is found to be nil after reading key and value, print an error and don't set them in the table
