The recent localization work has made it apparent that on many images the menu was extremely hard to read because its colors often clash with the background.
The choice of a bright overlay color with extremely low opacity is simply not enough to make the menus comfortable to navigate. Chex Quest was particularly bad but the problem existed in many Doom mods as well.
This also changes the CQ dim color to something a bit more green to better fit with the theme.
* all new things got either an sctor definition or are explicitly deleted through the 'doomednums' section in MAPINFO. CTC related actors are non-functional!
* added a 'noskillflags' option to 'doomednums' so that the lightmap definition things in the maps can be repurposed as dynamic lights.
* added the new dagger powerup.
* added MAPINFO entries for the added maps.
- better handling of ForceScale for the fullscreen HUD that doesn't mess around with CVARs.
- moved the mug shot into the status bar, because this is global state that needs to be shared between different pieces of code which want to display a mug shot.
- SBARINFO should work off the current status bar settings instead of the ones stored in its script object
- made bluramount also into a gameinfo option
- negative gl_menu_blur cvar now uses gameinfo option, 0 disables it
- removed gl_menu_blur_enabled since gl_menu_blur==0 does that anyway
- made gl_menu_blur default to -1 to use gameinfo option
- add default gameinfo bluramount options
* Font and color for map name can be set if it's not a titlepatch
* 'Finished' and 'Entering' can be either patches or a printed text in all gamees now.
* Font and color for 'finished' and 'entering' text can be set.
* moved 'finished' and 'Now entering:' texts into string table.

* the sprite used for 'pause'.
* the factor with which a monster's health is multiplied to decide if it's supposed to be gibbed,
* the decision to make monsters run faster in nightmare mode.
- moved the hard coded lock messages for lock types 102 and 103 into the language lump.
- fixed: Raven's fast monsters could become slower in Nightmare if they had very short walking states.

It will use negative indices for this. Currently supported strings are level name, level lump name and
skill name.
- Extended skill definitions so that printable name and image lump name are separate fields so that a
printable name can be specified for Doom, too.
SVN r2294 (trunk)
The editor number for player start spot 5 is now stored in the game info
so that there's only one place where this check needs to be done.
- Fixed: WIF_NOAUTOAIM only worked for projectiles unlike Skulltag's original
implementation.
SVN r1997 (trunk)
- moved default item drop style into gameinfo.
- moved default respawn time into gameinfo.
- moved default inventory max amount into gameinfo.
- turned Heretic's blocking of the sector for LS_Plat_RaiseAndStayTx0 into
a parameter instead of having the game mode decide.
SVN r1812 (trunk)
the same as the next new skill defined, if neither definition explicitly set
the value for ACSReturn.
- Added a DefaultSkill property. Adding it to a skill will cause that skill
to be the default one selected in the menu. If none is specified as the
default, then the middle skill is the default.

extensions.
- Removed merging of special namespaces. For the texture manager this has
become totally useless so there is no need to do this anymore. Not merging
the namespaces also allows a much more reliable detection of lumps belonging
to special namespaces so the ScanForFlatHack function is no longer needed.
Instead, any lump up to F_END with a length of 4096 will be marked for
inclusion as a flat texture if no F_START marker is found.
- Made the counting of intermission stats in Doom a GAMEINFO option so that
it can be activated in all games.
SVN r1555 (trunk)
empty weapon slots due to the recent rewrite of the weapon slot assignment
code. To handle such classes each game now defines a default weapon slot
setting in its gameinfo. This will be used when a player class without any
weapon slot settings is used.
SVN r1521 (trunk)
- removed gamemode variable. All it was used for were some checks that
really should depend on GI_MAPxx.
- Externalized all internal gameinfo definitions.
- added include to MAPINFO parser.
- split IWAD detection code off from d_main.cpp into its own file.
- disabled gamemission based switch filtering because it is not useful.
- added GAMEINFO submission by Blzut3 with significant modifications. There
is no GAMEINFO lump. Instead all information is placed in MAPINFO, except
the data that is needed to decide which WADs to autoload.
SVN r1497 (trunk)
- Fixed: Gravity application was not correct. For actors with no vertical
momentum the initial pull is supposed to be twice as strong as when
vertical movement already takes place.
- added invquery CCMD like in Strife. Also removed all underscores from the
tag strings so that they can be printed properly.
- Fixed: Skill baby was missing 'autousehealth' for all games.
- Added a new CVAR: sv_disableautohealth
- Autouse of health items is no longer hardwired to the default item classes.
There's a new property HealthPickup.Autouse. 0 means no autouse, 1 a small
Raven health item, 2 a large Raven health item and 3 a Strife item.
SVN r1452 (trunk)
hash chains.
- Fixed: specifying texture patches or font characters by full lump name instead
of texture name didn't work. To do this properly the texture manager needs
an option to look for a texture by lump number so that such textures can
be maintained without interfering with regular operation.
- added 'skystretch' and 'autosequences' keywords for MAPINFO so that the effects
of 'noautosequences' and 'forcenoskystretch' can be cancelled.
- Added a 'gamedefaults' section to MAPINFO after discovering that 'defaultmap'
gets reset for each MAPINFO. A global section is needed to define a game's
default setting in zdoom.pk3. The gamedefaults should normally not be changed
by PWADs but it can be done if some mod intends to change gameplay settings
but wants to allow custom add-ons on its own.
