Revamps of several dated linedef type effects
Felt like being productive so made some things I hate suck less.
Linedef type 7 (flat alignment) now works as follows.
* Linedef angle (from v1 to v2) is flat angle.
* Origin of flat is manipulated to match v1's coordinates - unless ML_NOKNUX is flagged, in which case uses frontside x and y offsets as flat offsets instead.
* ML_NOSONIC prevents changing floor.
* ML_NOTAILS prevents changing ceiling.
* Both of the above flags at once prints a warning.
* (THZ and probably a few other maps need updating.)
Linedef type 540 (friction) now works as follows.
* Controlled by x offset instead of length - offset of -100 is maximum iciness, offset of +483(!!!) is the maximum sludginess BUT things are scaled such that +100 is about the maximum sludginess any reasonable human being would want in a level, 0 is ORIG_FRICTION)
* Not reliant on a sector special to function (can be applied solely by tag to in-map sectors or solid FOF control sectors)
* Uses less memory, perform less calculations, and not bug out objects which just happen to use movefactor for something
* PHYSICS CHANGE: Low friction surfaces actively impede your acceleration (and make your animation speeds faster to give off that Looney Tunes out-of-control effect)
* (ACZ and Frozen Hillside needs updating.)
Sector types 1 and 3 in section 3 no longer do anything.
Linedef type 3 (zoom tube) now works as follows.
* Abs of frontside x offset is speed in units of FRACUNIT/8.
* Abs of frontside y offset is waypoint sequence number.
* Effect 4 flag rotates the player to match the waypoint direction (same as before).
* (ERZ needs updating.)
Linedef type 11 (rope hang) now works as follows.
* Abs of frontside x offset is speed in units of FRACUNIT/8.
* Abs of frontside y offset is waypoint sequence number.
* Effect 1 flag makes rope transfer one-way. (same as before)
* No climb flag makes rope static. (same as before)
* (ACZ and maybe ERZ need updating.)
Linedef type 258 (laser) is almost the same as before, but has altered functionality.
* Its flashing is less obnoxious. (56.25% to 68.75% instead of 100% to 0%, at half the speed)
Linedef type 14 (Bustable block parameters) is new, and works as follows.
* Tagged to the control sector of a block that is likely to be busted (via executor or collision, doesn't matter)
* Concatenation of frontside textures is MT_ object type to spawn, defaults to MT_ROCKCRUMBLE1 if not present
* Sound played when being busted is object type's activesound
* Frontside x offset is spacing (in fracunits) of spawned particles, defaults to 32<<FRACBITS
* Frontside y offset is the fuse of spawned particles in tics, defaults to 3*TICRATE, if set to -1 fuse is not set
* Effect 1 flag makes particles "fly out" horizontally and vertically from the center of the FOF
Sector types 7 through 15 in section 3 no longer do anything.
Linedef type 250 (Mario Block) is almost the same as before, but has new functionality and is slightly different in another way.
* No Climb flag turns it into a brick block (set on Custom FOF via presence of FF_SHATTERBOTTOM - busts when hit from the bottom, player hits their head/fist/whatever, no more upwards momentum)
* Effect 1 flag makes it an invisible block (set on Custom FOF via absence of (FF_SOLID|FF_RENDERALL|FF_CUTLEVEL) - intangible from every side except the bottom. Becomes visible and tangible when it's hit once)
* Only updates side textures when moving down or stationary, not whilst moving up - more fidelity to the source material, less processing on the CPU, everyone wins.
* If FOF master linedef has a backside, then: [If there's items in it the FOF's flats are set to that of the backside sector's ceiling, otherwise the floor.] Otherwise, no flat change.
Linedef type 4 (Speed Pad parameters) now works as follows.
* Frontside x offset is speed in fracunits.
* Effect 4 flag doesn't center the player. (same as before)
* Effect 5 flag sends them off in rolling frames.
* Frontside upper texture is sound to play on launch, defaults to sfx_spdpad when not given
Sector type 6 in section 3 no longer does anything.
Object type 757 is changed as follows, and no longer works on its own - see Linedef type 15 for more details.
* Tag via its angle field
* Number of objects to spawn per tic around it via its z field, if zero then just spawn at center
* Is flipped if given MTF_OBJECTFLIP.
* (ERZ and Seraphic Skylands - if we use that map - needs updating)
Linedef type 15 (Fan particle spawner parameters) is new, and works as follows.
* Tag is tag of object(s!)
* Object type set via concatenation of frontside textures, MT_PARTICLE is default
* The length of the linedef is the radius the particle is spawned out (zeroed if z field is 0)
* Frontside x offset is speed upwards
* Frontside y offset is number of degrees to turn each tic (zeroed if z field is 0)
* Frontside floor and ceiling heights are the heights in which the particle is bound through some fun mathematics
A_ParticleSpawn is changed, too.
* Object type is now changed through actor->threshold instead of var1 to support Linedef type 15.
Test executable uploaded at /toaster/srb2win_branch_flatalignment.exe on the ftp.
Test file uploaded at /toaster/flatalignment.wad on the ftp.
Breaks compatibility with 2.1 so put in internal.

GFZ3 Unfuckening
Some tweaks to the GFZ3 Eggmobile's behaviour to make it less frustrating for old and new players alike.
* GFZ3 Eggmobile's laser won't change its angle when you move left and right anymore.
* Changed because its ability to move quickly was extremely punishing for new players (see ProJared's youtube video on the matter).
* http://gfycat.com/PassionateUnknownAgama (the twitching on the third laser has been fixed since this was recorded)
* GFZ3 Eggmobile will, when too far away from the ground and moving upwards, slow itself down vertically.
* This was punishing and annoying for both old and new players alike.
* http://gfycat.com/CornyLeftDungbeetle (old values - the typical settling height is slightly lower now)

Hardcoded VAda Flickies
Many thanks to MI for his help, even if he has sinful opinions on what the collection of creatures should be called. ;P
* Flickies are now handled via A_FlickySpawn instead of hardcoded in P_KillMobj, so there can be mobjtypes with MF_ENEMY which don't create flickies, or other mechanisms which can much easier.
* Added map header "FlickyList" (aka "AnimalList") parameter, which can either be set to:
* A species (eg: "Rabbit" or "Bluebird", amongst 17 currently supported types in dehacked.c table FLICKYTYPES - including the seed from Sonic CD, which isn't limited to 'soniccd on' in the console now)
* Any valid mobjtype that isn't MT_NULL (eg: "MT_FLICKY_GHOST")
* A comma-seperated list of either of the above, up to 64 entries long (eg: "Cow,MT_FLICKY_SPIDER,Chicken")
* "All" - sets behind-the-scenes stuff to use every 'normal' type of flicky in FLICKYTYPES (a distinction which can be utilised to hide secret level flickies where they wouldn't be appropriate for the main game)
* "Demo" - sets behind-the-scenes stuff to use the five flickies closest to the species used in the game's long history.
* "None" - prevents any flickies from spawning.
"Demo" is functionally the default value if you don't include a FlickyList parameter in the header at all.
Of note, a bunch of functions are now created:
* A_FlickySpawn - spawns flicky.
* A_FlickyAim - aims for area near target, but not directly on them - turns around when hitting wall
* A_FlickyFly - flies/swims around target (calls A_FlickyAim)
* A_FlickySoar - hacky alternate fly (calls A_FlickyAim)
* A_FlickyCoast - slowing down before going off again
* A_FlickyHop - fracunit-scale precision for A_BunnyHop
* A_FlickyFlounder - A_FlickyHop with randomisation
* A_FlickyCheck - State-setter for falling, or being on-ground
* A_FlickyHeightCheck - State-setter for falling, or being below a certain height relative to target
* A_FlickyFlutter - A_FlickyCheck, but with a slow fall/movement (calls A_FlickyCheck and A_FlickyAim)
I don't need to enumerate the object types and states that have been added, do I?
Oh yeah, I also made it so get_mobjtype's failure value was MT_NULL and prohibited SOC from editing the properties of it to compensate.
IN ADDITION: Killed "soniccd" console command, since it made things more complicated and honestly being able to specify Sonic CD seeds in the level header is a better option.
See merge request !60
* MT_EXPLODE's anims partially FF_ANIMATE'd.
* A_FlickySpawn turned into a wrapper for internal function that does what A_FlickySpawn did but returns a pointer to the spawned flicky.
* Added the ability to read in mobjtypes as well as from a short list of flicky constants.
* Added a new state, S_XPLD_FLICKY, which is the new deathstate of all badniks.
* Put the disabled animal-spawn-on-P_KillMobj behind a #define.
* Renamed the branch and associated properties to something not rife with sin.
No idea if this compiles yet (let alone if what is there works at all), just getting this out the way so I can work on certain other things *cough plane displacement cough*
* Cleaner A_ParticleSpawn code.
* Removed several hacks with Mario blocks, and corrected a mistaken assumption with when the FOF's thinker is being applied.
* Made the flashing of T_LaserFlash even less obnoxious.
To that end, I've made MF_MONITOR *without* MF_SHOOTABLE act like MF_MONITOR does, and MF_SHOOTABLE allow for both missiles AND players to destroy. This has had the side effect of allowing MF_ENEMY and MF_BOSS to use MF_MONITOR as a substitute for MF_SHOOTABLE that doesn't allow missiles to cause them damage, which might be useful for Jetty-syns.
Hardcoded music name switches
Like I said earlier, it's better if all the hardcoded music switches in 2.2 start with an underscore so that it's harder to accidentally overwrite them.
Should be accepted when music.dta is updated.
See merge request !17
* Bubblewrap shield bounce now no longer allows thokking post-bounce, but still allows bouncing
* plus a bunch of tiny changes to clean up code around the place.
* 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.
* shields give you 1000 points
* redundant shields don't make you puase
* checkpoints give you 2000 points
* falling down a deathpit is just falling, not bouncing
* GFZ3 Eggmobile's laser won't change its angle when you move left and right anymore.
* Changed because its ability to move quickly was extremely punishing for new players (see ProJared's youtube video on the matter).
* http://gfycat.com/PassionateUnknownAgama (the twitching on the third laser has been fixed since this was recorded)
* GFZ3 Eggmobile will, when too far away from the ground and moving upwards, slow itself down vertically.
* This was punishing and annoying for both old and new players alike.
* http://gfycat.com/ShabbyAncientEarthworm (old values - the typical settling height is slightly lower now)
* MF_AMBUSH is now MF2_AMBUSH, because it's something you turn on in a map editor, not with a SOC definition.
* Where MF_AMBUSH was is now MF_PAPER.
* MF_PAPER accesses all the stuff I did previously in this branch...
* ...as well as turn on paper-thin collision detection between mobjs, which I've gotten working but isn't perfect but it's still good enough for non-solid objects!!
* That hacky anti-NiGHTS-deaxisment code I commented out because I thought it was visual only? Reimplemented in a way that is both more and less hacky. It's identical in result to the original code, but takes a roundabout method to get there.
* Sprite references for SUPE, SUPZ and NDRL are removed because they are now unused.
* Helper's flashing conditional is restructured to do less flag swapping.
* The check for super setting FF_FULLBRIGHT is limited to MAXTRANSLATIONS now, and also correctly takes into account MAXSKINCOLORS == SKINCOLOR_SUPERSILVER1.
* NiGHTS collision bounds aren't hardcoded anymore.
* NiGHTS link will never display when leaving stage.
* Slightly tweaked rules for the supercolor setting when doing a NiGHTS transformation, but only meaningful for setting FF_FULLBRIGHT.
* if you can turn SF_SUPER, flash your skin's supercolor, otherwise be your normal color
* if your skin doesn't have a SPR2_NGT0 (horizontal fly), use Sonic's (this will hopefully be replaced by 2.2 with sprites of NiGHTS themselves)
* MT_NIGHTSCHAR made irrelevant, everything follows actor->target instead of actor->target->tracer now
* emerald is now player->mo->tracer instead of player->mo->tracer->target
* nightopian helpers flash for the 35 tics before they disappear
* nights capsule makes boss explosions/noises now (i can change it back i just like it better)
* drill off into the sky instead of fly up in floating pose (but no noise yet)
ALSO:
* default maxdash is now 70
* forgot to add supercolor to lua, it is there now
* SPR2_SMSL renamed to SPR2_SSTN (stun)
* any player with a skincolor that's in the super range is set to FF_FULLBRIGHT at state-set time, so no need to keep super players non-fullbright just because they use spin stuff
For the object...
* Tag via its angle field
* Number of objects to spawn per tic around it via its z field, if zero then just spawn at center
* Is flipped if given MTF_OBJECTFLIP.
Now there's a linedef type 15!
* Tag is tag of object(s!)
* Object type set via concatenation of frontside textures, MT_PARTICLE is default
* The length of the linedef is the radius the particle is spawned out (zeroed if z field is 0)
* Frontside x offset is speed upwards
* Frontside y offset is number of degrees to turn each tic (zeroed if z field is 0)
* Frontside floor and ceiling heights are the heights in which the particle is bound through some fun mathematics and/or BDSM
Of course, not every story has a happy ending.
* A_ParticleSpawn no longer accepts objects via its var1 because of how specialised it's gotten. Considering it can be set via abuse of actor->cvmem, I don't consider this an issue. Maybe you might disagree.
P_RandomChance is now a macro for something that should happen a
certain percentage of time.
P_SignedRandom was moved to a macro. Nobody cared.

Use whatever names you want for your music. So long as you prefix the lumps with O_ or D_, it doesn't matter anymore.
DISCLAIMER: Linedef type 413 (change music) and Lua scripting is not tested.

1up icons were spawning their overlays off sync with each other so the face icon was showing up during static. Now they don't.
(They'd do this in 2.1 too if you have a custom WAD added that doesn't have an overlay sprite, and you use it in multiplayer alongside a character that does.)
It's a lot nicer in general, honestly. I think a couple bugs with custom monitors respawning got fixed in the process.
Note that a monitorgfx.wad is needed if you want to see things besides <!>s for monitors, due to graphic changes.
Actions tweaks
This just rewrites the action A_SetTargetsTarget currently, dunno if I'll bother to tweak any more actions in the near future \*shrugs\*
That said, PLEASE check whether the action works properly before accepting the merge. It's been a while since I last did anything with this branch, so I forget entirely whether I tested it or not.
See merge request !27
*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
Currently the main benefit of these changes is that a number of non-Object-related hazards/deaths no long rely on dummy MT_NULL objects or other hacks to tell the game how you were hurt/killed, yay
