Level completion emblems
Simple port of something I made for a 2.1 exe mod that Mystic mentioned needed doing on the 2.2 Priorities topic (http://mb.srb2.org/showpost.php?p=790613&postcount=4). Adds emblem type "map", which gives you an emblem upon beating the map it's for.
Var sets specific condition flags on top of normal completion; 1 or ME_ALLEMERALDS for all Chaos Emeralds, 2 or ME_ULTIMATE for Ultimate mode, and 4 or ME_PERFECT for Perfect Bonus. These can be combined with each other, but they do not all need to be done in one shot; an Ultimate + Perfect emblem isn't impossible as they can be done in separate runs. (This can easily be toned back down to a single choice/removed entirely if requested; these were added simply because it was easy to implement for modders.)
Criticism on the way it's coded and/or how it is implemented is highly encouraged. Test wad is <root>/TehRealSalt/levelemblems.wad, pre-compiled exe is <root>/TehRealSalt/levelemblems.exe.

Transparent patch support in TEXTURES
Adds transparent patch functionality for the TEXTURES format.
Duplicates source-to-cache column drawer functions and adds extra functionality which uses trans tables.
Changes how the column drawer is picked so it's done once per patch instead of per column.

Whitelist HUD graphic changes from isgamemodified
Some people like the italics, some don't, some are crazy and want to do their own thing. In any case changing HUD graphics doesn't do any harm to anyone.
This allows changing the following replacements to work without tripping isgamemodified:
* The Score/Time/Rings text and numbers, colon, period, and minus sign
* The console font
* The "tiny" console font used in a couple places
* The level title font
I also removed some stupid redundant code related to the above in the process, and renamed some of the patches related to score/time/rings because they had inconsistent prefixes.

Crumble fof
Basic (but kind of WIPish still) support for remote falling of FOFs by linedef execs or Lua. Originally started for Nev3r to use his dark magic on.
Making this MR so people actually remember I was doing something regarding crumbling FOFs, it's been months since I did stuff for this now mind...
* linedef type 446: basic setup is same as the remote shatter one (436), except the FOF of course falls down rather than shatters. By default the FOF respawns
* *No Climb*: the FOF *doesn't* respawn
* *Block Enemies*: respawning ability is determined by the FOF's flags (if it has FF_NORETURN it doesn't return, if it doesn't it does return)
* *Block Enemies + No Climb*: inverted version of above
* EV_StartCrumble for lua, format: `EV_StartCrumble(controlsec, rover, [floating?, [player, [origalpha, [crumblereturn?]]]])`
* *controlsec* is the FOF's control sector
* *rover* is the FOF itself
* (optional) *floating?* does the FOF float on water after crumbling? Defaults to false (NOTE: probably should be set to `rover.flags & FF_FLOATBOB` for best results currently, kind of weird otherwise)
* (optional) *player* is the player that caused the FOF to fall; needed for some effects such as who to award points to if you killed someone =3 Defaults to nil
* (optional) *origalpha* is the FOF's original alpha before crumbling (the thinker for respawning + floating crumbling FOFs tinkers with the alpha for some reason). Defaults to rover.alpha
* (optional) *crumblereturn?* will the FOF respawn afterwards? Defaults to false (NOTE: probably should be set to `not (rover.flags & FF_NORETURN)` for best results currently, kind of weird otherwise)
* the return value of EV_StartCrumble means something I forget offhand now ...it's either true or false though, mind
See MonsterIestyn/crumble-fof on the FTP for a test exe (srb2win-crumblefof.exe), a test map for the linedef, and a test lua script for EV_StartCrumble (which can also be tested in the map).

Lua more stuff
More new Lua features and fixes:
* Most Lua functions that deal with stuff that exists only in levels now should spout Lua errors instead of crashing the game if you try to use them outside of levels. Likewise, accessing any of the tables that contain level-only stuff (players, sectors, lines, etc etc) spouts Lua errors too outside of levels.
* `userdataType(variable)` now exists: this function simply returns the type of the userdata variable given as a string (e.g. `userdataType(players[0])` returns "player_t", `userdataType(sectors[0])` returns "sector_t"). This also includes "minor" userdata types for array members of other userdata types, such as .powers of player_t variables or .lines of sector_t variables (which would give the strings "player_t.powers" and "sector_t.lines" respectively).
* The Lua hook "MobjMoveBlocked" now exists: functions for this hook are called whenever a mobj attempts to move horizontally but is blocked by a wall or solid mobj (or whatever else can cause P_TryMove to return false, assuming it doesn't remove the mobj). In theory this hook could be very useful for behaviour such as sliding or bouncing off walls without the need of flags like MF_SLIDEME or MF_BOUNCE etc. Format for use is just like most generic mobj hooks: `addHook("MobjMoveBlocked", functionname, MT_OBJECTTYPE)`, where `functionname` is a function that takes a single mobj_t argument.
See MonsterIestyn/lua-more-stuff on the FTP for a test exe (srb2win-lua-more-stuff.exe) and some test scripts for the above changes.

Making Metal's pinch cues suck less
Does what it says on the tin. Give it a shot with <root>/toaster/metaltest.wad to skip the race and go directly to the boss to see what it does!
See merge request !70
Add a vertical flip variant for the translucent column drawer.
Translucency is now properly distributed: 0.00 leads to no render at all, 0.1 to TRANS10, ..., 0.9 to TRANS90, 1 to regular column drawer.
Precipitation sprite overflow fix
This fixes artifacts of rain/snow sprites appearing on-screen in levels that have rain/snow, if said sprites were high enough above the camera. This kind of thing was previously fixed for sprites of regular objects (and textures of FOFs?), but apparently the fix wasn't applied to sprites for precipitation as it turns out.
I found this most easily reproducable in SRB2TD's Stormy Streets level, because some of the invisible FOFs make raindrops continually splash right up at the sky ceiling itself. Position your camera underneath them right and ...voila, ghostly precip sprites apparently appearing. (You'll need to make a SOC to make the level playable in vanilla SRB2 mind)
See merge request !169
(various large invisible blocks used in the level cause rain to make splashes high above the main level, high enough to make ghostly rain splash sprite artifacts appear sometimes in nearby areas)
Record attack custom exit fix
This fixes the bug reported here: http://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42342
Record Attack now no longer allows the tally to be skipped, whether by custom exits or by Lua etc.

Dedicated console shift-down fix
This fixes the special console window used by dedicated mode not properly telling the game when shift is held down since the console improvements added in 2.1.17. This means shift+1 is properly interpreted as "!" again rather than 1, shift+- should be "_" rather than "-", etc.
Sorry LJSonic your problems from pre-2.1.17 are probably just your keyboard being for a different locale than the one most SRB2 players play with so I'm aware, I'm not sure what can be done for the time being. =V
Fun note, you can see how the game interprets un-executed input to the console window by playing normal (not dedicated) SRB2 with `-console`, which creates a second window for the console just like you'd see for dedicated mode. Drop down the console on the main SRB2 window, switch to the console window and type something in (DON'T PRESS ENTER), and you'll see the input appearing in the input space in the console window at the same time!

TD render fix 2: Electric boogaloo
This fixes TD's terminal stage freezing the game in a similar manner to Lava Mountain, except this time the FOFs aren't zero-height so it's a slightly different situation?
See merge request !160
TD rendering freeze fix
This is a fix for the Lava Mountain freeze issue from TD (KartKrew/TD#13) which can also occur in vanilla SRB2 as it turns out. Basically the issue occurs whenever an FOF with a single-patch texture with holes goes off the bottom of the screen far enough.
See merge request !159
This fixes the grid floors in TD's Lava Mountain freezing the game if they go off the bottom of the screen far enough (they have ACWRFL1A as the wall texture, which is a single patch texture with holes)
Better papercollision
Diagonal bounding boxes are no longer root 2 larger than they should be. Testwad is <root>/toaster/sawb.wad. Nice and simple.
