- Very slightly less claustrophobic camera defaults
- Changed camera settings are saved
- Camera distance increases relatively with splitscreen & analog mode.
These changes are kind of debatable because them not saving was an intentional decision initially, and the camera being farther out could potentially clip more geometry where it previously didn't... still, thought I'd open this for consideration
* Draw background over titlemap
* HIDEBACKGROUND to show titlemap
* Specify NOMUSIC or IGNOREMUSIC (to not change music)
* Linedef execs implemented for tree hierarchy, including bubbling (NOENTERBUBBLE/NOEXITBUBBLE)
* Specify ENTERWIPE and EXITWIPE
* Menuid hierarchy fixes (Control mapping, joystick setup)
* Time attack handling fixes
* Specify custom wipes on runtime for D_Display and P_SetupLevel (for titlemap)
* Allow for forcing and skipping a wipe
* Wipe utility functions F_GetWipeLength and F_WipeExists
With that, I moved R_CreateColormap2's exclusive software colormap malloc code to R_CreateColormap, and merged the two software-only blocks of code into one. I also disabled any unneeded variables and fixed a preprocessor-related goofup
There may not be a point to this, other than to be consistent with how spheres are tracked. If non-special stage NiGHTS should tally a ring bonus, this may be useful.

* Fix some wipe bugs.
* Solved that thing where there was no fade between two back-to-back cutscenes.
* Fixed there being no effective wipe between the end of the vanilla intro cutscene and the title screen.
* Smoothed out the behaviour of titlemap fades to prevent conflicts.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] Kill the pause graphic and replace with a blue box with text in it, like what happens when the window loses focus. Much harder to miss.
* On request of Nev3r and Sphere (combined with my own annoyances), make SOC-loading in .pk3 files use the /SOC folder rather than the /SOCS folder.
* Make the Crushstacean's claw launch sounds stop when killed.
* Bomb sphere! Paraloopable hazard. Replaces MT_SPECIALSPIKEBALL.
* 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.
* Fix the GOT ALL EMERALDS page not lasting the correct, extended amount of time.
* Fix that thing where flying mid-spin didn't enact autobrake.
* Modify graymap a little on Sryder's suggestion.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] fix that thing where the addons menu will fail on files/paths with spaces in [/COMPLETELY UNRELATED]
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
NiGHTS NON-SPECIAL STAGES:
* Colour Chips and Star Chips! Replaces Spheres and Rings of NiGHTS Special Stages.
* Colour Chips turn yellow in bonus time.
* Ideya!
* Its own "drowning" music!
* All of the object types for Dream Hill.
* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.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.)
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)
* cv_useranalog is now hidden from the menu.
* Directionchar now attempts to face the camera direction when you're standing still, and handles a few other states with more decorum.
* Tailsbot is now slightly more capable of keeping up with Sonic.
* pflags rearranged/adjusted, combining a few non-simulstaneous ones and turning PF_NIGHTSFALL into CR_NIGHTSFALL.
* [unrelated to branch] all ground-impact based abilities now happen more consistently with quicksand.
* Changed the save format a little more, since I had free reign over it.
* Modified the string drawing functions to not awkwardly clip at the very edges of the screen, considering the relevant patch drawing functions avoid out-of-range memory writes.
* Each time you die, the number of game overs you've had is counted.
* Your save file updates to record this.
* The number of startinglives is determined by the number of times you'ved game-overed, with the maximum being infinity lives (thereby providing a cap on the number of game overs you can go through in a typical game).
Requires a new patch.dta, but I'm not uploading that yet because not happy with the icon we've got going for infinity lives on the save select menu.

Does what it says on the tin! Very pretty. Would like help testing in filesystems that are not Windows, although I've recieved assurances from Sryder that since it's based on the same filesrch code, it should work cross-platform. Just want to confirm it works, though.
Also, M_* is whitelisted lumpname too.
root/!LatestSRB2Files/srb2win_branch_addfile.exe, requires new patch.dta.
See merge request !92
NiGHTS Paraloop-special emblems
Implemented the two NiGHTS Emblem types in the TUDD via var modifications to ET_GLOBAL!
* GE_NIGHTSPULL (for it to chase you once paralooped) - Sun emblem
* GE_NIGHTSITEM (for hidden until paralooped) - Moon emblem
* Combined means that you essentially have to loop it twice.
Also, revamped NIGHTSITEM to suck a little less (and have more compatibility with MT_EMBLEM).
Check out root/!LatestSRB2Files/srb2win_branch_nightsemblems.exe with the latest patch.dta, along with root/toaster/nightstest.soc for a sample in GFZS.
See merge request !94
This allows saving in special cases where you can go to a map that
doesn't save, and then back to the map you saved on (see: SUBARASHII
special stages), while still preventing you from killing your lives by
repeatedly retrying in said map.
Kept lastmapsaved just in case. Can be removed if deemed unnecessary.
* Support for MF_PAPERCOLLISION tmhitthing in P_SlideMove.
* Knockback for wallspikes is much more consistent.
* Optimised away a FixedDiv call when determining the slopetype of a line.
* Changed the position of the wallspike base slightly.
* Made it so NOTHING can step up onto the player outside of other players, essentially killing a bunch of springs-launch-with-players style bugs. (I was able to recreate that issue with the wallspikes until I added this, which is why I did it in this branch.)
****
* 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.
-Colormaps, palettes and other stuff are properly loaded now. It was a bug related to the generation of the lump name with files in the root of the PK3.
Known issues:
-Map WADs' REJECT and BLOCKMAP are still not loaded.
-Removed code duplicity on map resource reading.
-Fixed all known PK3-related bugs so far except for the ones mentioned below.
Issues:
-Blockmap and reject matrix still aren't loaded yet when using a map WAD.
-Palettes and colormaps aren't loaded (by extension, TRANS tables might not work either).
-Now can load map WAD files inside Maps/ directory, but they must only contain map data explicitly!
Known problems:
-There's an issue causing a crash with palettes and colormaps in PK3s.
-SS_START and SS_END don't work now. Will check later.
-Standalone lumps for maps in the Maps/ folder don't work anymore; perhaps I should keep that functionality?
Notes:
-It's now a mashup of something dumb that I wanted to do and yet piling hacks again.
-A lot of code duplicity with map lump loading functions.
