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!

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)

(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)
* Changed the order of Record/Nights Attack and its level select menu option so that you go from the main menu to the map page to level select, rather than main menu to level select to map page.
* Cleaned up a lot of code.
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?

Will be discussing what to do with the space freed under "server options" the heading on IRC tomorrow.
(MI, if you're looking - the mistake was that I set up an IT_CALL menu line as IT_CVAR by mistake, which of course caused a crash when trying to get ((consvar_t *)M_GameTypeChange)->string. ;P )
Updated the mid-game gametype/level select menu! Just need to combine it with the server creation menu, and then I'll be ready to make a merge request...
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)
Still need to figure out the way to sort pressing esc on reselect level sending you back to the title screen. This will need further whittling before I can call this a solved section and move onto MP stuff.
* More comprehensive "pick up where you left off" system.
* Made individual map name selection actually take into account the map name AND the act number if the heading isn't the zone name.
* Named all the new functions/etc "Platter" instead of "NewList", to make maintenence easier and also because it sounds delicious.
* The code, as a whole, is much cleaner.
* Allows for multiple items under the same heading now, with highlights and spacing consistently handled.
* Allows for picking up where you left off between menus now (assuming the same map is available on multiple screens).
* Defined M_CanShowLevelInList in terms of the two compartmentalised functions cleaved from it, in order to ensure consistency and prevent code duplication.
