You can either add FF_SPR2SUPER directly to the sprite2 arg if it's a number, or you can use the new (optional) boolean arg between sprite2 and frame, where as you'd expect false = normal and true = super.
* 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.
Pwease no kicky
Don't kick Tails! Also, a movement for the WRITESINT8 to prevent modification to buf if the function bails early.
This can go into Master, right? It only matters for the host, and it's explicitly only having a major effect outside of netgames.
See merge request !201
*Add CONS_Printf messages for !netgame checks
*Arg count is checked first regardless of netgame status for both kick and ban, < 2 is checked instead of == 1 just in case these weren't called from console for some stupid reason?
*Moved Command_Kick's buffer vars to within the code that actually does kicking stuff
* 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.
Lua archive value fix
This fixes some potential problems with archiving mobjinfo_t/state_t data via Lua in netgames (whether as custom mobj/player vars or by NetVars hook). Thanks to LJSonic for pointing this out to me.

No more jumping springs FOR REAL!
The issue was that because both them and the player had MF_SOLID, the tmfloorz of the spring was getting set to above the player (or vicea versa with tmceilingz), forcing it upwards with them under certain circumstances.
Now, springs only acknowledge the solidity (for purpose of tmfloorz/tmceilingz) of objects they CAN'T launch.
Test with ```<root>/toaster/srb2springsagain.exe``` and ```<root>/DrTapeworm/springtest.wad```, via Mystic's secret server that [SOME jerk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRjXE_ZMT2s) keeps leaking from.

Apart from the fact that UnArchiveValue reads UINT16 for both anyway (which alone causes problems), but UINT8 isn't even enough to store the higher end of the object types list and definitely most of the states welp

* MF2_MACEROTATE. Apply to any object. Replaces the indiscriminate spamming of A_MaceRotate each tic.
****
* Mace point mapthings have been slightly modified.
- MTF_AMBUSH: bigger luke theory (has no effect on custom mace, different effect on spring mace)
- MTF_OBJECTFLIP: flips the objects, but nothing else - just so it doesn't look out of place in gravflip sections
- MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL: keeps it from attempting to play swinging sounds
- angle: tag of controlling linedef
- parameter: number of "spokes" minus one - for example, a parameter of 2 results in 3 equidistant maces rotating around the same point.
****
* Mace linedefs have been significantly revamped.
- line dx: number of chain links
- line dy: speed (in FU)
- frontside floor height: Pitch (in degrees; how much it "tilts" over - Yaw influences the axis it's tilting on)
- frontside ceiling height: Yaw (in degrees; rotation of entire thing on xy plane)
- frontside x offset: Phase (in degrees; how far it is through the rotation cycle)
- frontside y offset: Max speed (in FU; if less than speed, set to speed*2)
- backside floor height: Pinch (in degrees; 0 if no backside; essentially makes rotation conical instead of wheel-like)
- backside ceiling height: Roll (in degrees; 0 if no backside; rotates on the axis of the spinning - identical to Phase for spinning maces, but useful for rotating swinging maces as opposed to just offsetting them)
- backside x offset: Number of "antispokes" (0 if no backside; makes that many spokes not exist so you can put another mace/chain type in there instead; for combo mace/chain instead turns them into chains directly)
- backside y offset: Width (in number of extra chains per side; 0 if no backside; creates a "skiprope" arrangement)
----
- ML_NOCLIMB: for chains and chain-mace combos, allow for player control of yaw through strafe keys
- ML_EFFECT1: replacing the seperate mapthings, this makes a mace type swing instead of spin.
- ML_EFFECT2: for all spokes of the mace wheel ending in maces, make the chains out of the mace type (inverted for firebars)
- ML_EFFECT3: spawn a bonus mace type at the center(s) of rotation
- ML_EFFECT4: don't clip inside ground

* Mapthing 1104 represents both spinning and swinging maces from prior versions of SRB2.
* Mapthing 1105 has gone from being a swinging mace variant to a combination of chains and maces in a single unit, provided the number of "spokes" is greater than one.
* Mapthing 1105 has gone from being a swinging chain variant to a vertical spring-on-a-ball-on-a-chain. Yellow by default, apply MTF_AMBUSH to turn into a red spring.
* Mapthing 1107 represents both spinning and swinging chains from prior versions of SRB2.
* Mapthing 1108 is completely untouched except to port over 2.1's functionality to the new backend.
* Mapthing 1109 is a Mario castle-level style firebar. This inverts the functionality of ML_EFFECT2 on the tagged linedef.
* Mapthing 1110 is a free slot should we want to implement another type of base-game mace.
* Mapthing 1111 is a custom mace. Use the linedef's frontside texture slots to identify a macetype mobjtype, then use the backside texture slots to identify a linktype mobjtype (defaults to MT_NULL if no backside).

Whooh. Requires new patch.dta for sprites.
