Rationale:
When a mod adds a custom option menu, it adds a space before it, like this:
```
AddOptionMenu OptionsMenu
{
StaticText ""
Submenu "$MYTITLE", MyOptions
}
```
to prevent custom option menu being in the same block as the last entries in the
standard options list. It's okay.
But when more than one such mod is loaded, each one of them adds a space before
their option menu entry, and Options Menu becomes unnecessary bloated.
This simple edit allows mods to not add a space, still be separated from
standard options.
With `crosshairhealth 2`, the crosshair will now
go from white to yellow, then yellow to red as the player's health
decreases. As the player's health increases up to 200, the crosshair
will also go from white to green to indicate overheal.
This is similar to the implementation in games like Xonotic.
The old behavior (`crosshairhealth 1`) is still the default.
The file renames “enu” to “default” for consistency and only contains languages that are complete/up to date, i.e. American English, British English, German, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, and Russian. Italian, while not 100% complete, contains a full engine translation, so it has enough material to make it here.
The current menu system simply does not work that well with 320x200, rendering the game hard to use at that tiny screen size. This is a clear case where the work required to keep it operational stands in no relation to the benefit.
There are two options here - one only disables the vertical thrust and the other goes back fully to the original non-z-aware code.
Both options are settable through MAPINFO.
For the compatibility presets, the normal ones only disable the vertical thrust, the strict ones force use of the old code entirely.
This option value is used for 4 different options, and splitting it up into three will allow for languages based on grammatical gender systems to have different endings. Necessary for e.g. Russian in order to sound correctly.
The corresponding strings are already in the language spreadsheet.
- moved language entry up a bit in the menu
- converted the language entry into a proper CVAR string list selection, instead of a separate menu with said list.
Now a localization mod can disable the graphics patches containing text entirely so that it can properly localize the text based menu variant.
If this flag gets set in MAPINFO, it will override all user settings.
In this menu, all languages supported by GZDoom are selectable with one simple click! Credits to @PROPHESSOR for making it!
(This only edits the English and French languages because they are the only languages currently up to date with GZDoom’s development. A Russian translation will follow suit at a later date.)
* added a CVAR that sets how localizable graphics need to be dealt with.
* pass the substitution string to OkForLocalization so that proper checks can be performed.
* increased item spacing on Doom's list menus to 18 from 16 pixels, because otherwise the diacritic letters would not fit. 20 would have been more ideal but 18 was the limit without compromising its visual style
* added a second text-only main menu because here the spacing cannot be changed. Doing so would render any single-patch main menu non-functional. So here the rules are that if substitution takes place, it will swap out the entire menu class.
* fixed some issues with the summary screen's "entering" and "finished" graphics.
What is done:
D1. Controls are separated by existing sections, each section is now a submenu;
D2. The original sections are preserved;
D3. The original controls order is preserved;
D4. "Controls" section is renamed to "Game", because "Controls" submenu of "Customize Controls" would be too confusing;
D5. Map (automap) controls are added as a section, map controls submenu is unchanged;
D6. Missing controls are added to "Other" section;
D7. Sections are given a title following the scheme "Customize <section> Controls", except N4 (see below).
D8. Inside the sections, spaces are added to group the related controls.
Things that I'm not sure about:
N1. "Game" controls section name is too generic - I'll gladly change it to something more suitable;
N2. "Other" controls section name is too generic - I'll gladly change it to something more suitable;
N3. Map controls submenu could use some spacing, and internal title ("Map Controls") is redundant;
N4. "Strife Popup Screens" section name is too long to fit in scheme described in D7, therefore the title is "Strife Popup Screens Controls";
N5. "Game" section could be divided further, but this will break the original menu structure.
There were still some leftover definitions from FMod and far too many things were at the top level. Anything non-essential has been moved to the "Advanced Sound Options" submenu and the pointless sound backend switch has been removed entirely.
Added full-panning stereo, improvement of channel management, and many other things.
Also, I have implemented an ability to use custom WOPL (for libADLMIDI) and WOPN (for libOPNMIDI) banks from the same path as "soundfonts", but also, in the same environment, the "fm_banks" folder was added for WOPL/WOPN storing purposes.
To toggle usage of embedded or custom bank, I have added togglable booleans. When bank fails to be loaded, the default embedded bank is getting to be used as fallback.

ADL&OPN Hotfix: re-calculated default banks
The fix on side of measurer of OPL3-BE and OPN2-BE where some instruments getting zero releasing time.
- new ccmd: vid_setscale <x> <y> [linear] [fake-mcga-4:3] - sets vid_scalemode to 5 with the absolute scaling parameters. example: vid_scalemode 800 600 allows you to see the screen (stretched) as if it were 800x600. Linear specifies whether to force the scaling to be linear in this mode, and "fake-mcga-4:3" is meant for 320x200-like modes that mimic mode13h scaling.
Added ability to switch emulator and it's accuracy level ("enabling of 'run at PCM rate' reduces accuracy, and also reduces CPU usage")
Added draft code for future external banks support (WOPL format for ADLMIDI and WOPN format for OPNMIDI)
ADLMIDI 1.3.3 2018-06-19

* Added support for real-time switching the emulator
* Added support for CC-120 - "All sound off" on the MIDI channel
* Changed logic of CC-74 Brightness to affect sound only between 0 and 64 like real XG synthesizers. Ability to turn on a full-ranged brightness (to use full 0...127 range) is kept.
* Added support for different output sample formats (PCM8, PCM8U, PCM16, PCM16U, PCM32, PCM32U, Float32, and Float64) (Thanks to [Jean Pierre Cimalando](https://github.com/jpcima) for a work!)

Like Linux and macOS this will only support borderless fullscreen in the active desktop resolution now, which is what modern systems need.
The list of discrete resolutions has been removed as it makes no sense anymore with a fixed video mode - all the other scaling options remain active, though.
- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
Notes:
* ADL: The DMX volume model was set as default to unify volumes on all bank. Otherwise, if you will use 'Generic' or 'Win9x', the sound will became too loud than wanted. Each bank has own default volume model which is used when 'Auto' is set.
* ADL: 6 chips is optimal to work with default banks
* OPN: 8 chips are set to provide 48 polyphony channels. (each OPN2 chip has 6 channels only)
* Text files: junk spaces from end of lines are was auto-removed.
There is now a separate MIDI player options menu which is a list of submenus, one for each player (except for OPNMIDI which does not have any options yet.
The text input field for the configs have been removed. Instead it will now present a list of soundfonts that are found in specific locations.
For that it will look in the 'soundfont' directories of the FileSearch.Directories entry of the config.
Acceptable file formats here are SF2 and zipped GUS patch sets. These zipped patch sets need to have a timidity.cfg at the root and refer to all containing data by relative path. References to outside files are not allowed here.
It is still possible to refer to sound fonts elsewhere on the hard drive by manually entering a path at the console - but these won't show in the menu and will get lost if one cycles through the list of available options.
Of the available softsynths, FluidSynth will only list SF", Wildmidi will only list GUS patch sets and Timidity++ and GUS will list both.
Please note that although the GUS synth can read SF2, the output appears to be broken die to some old bug.
* Improved French translation, also covers previously missing strings.
* Adds a string for Borderless Windowed.
* Adds option to enable or disable borderless windowed for Windows only.
These commits had to be manually recreated because somehow the files appaarently ended up with CRLF in the repo which can cause problems with Windows Git and line ending normalization on.
- reordered vid_scalemode modes to be a little neater, having static modes and scalar modes separate, with a buffer in between so new modes can be added in the future without disrupting the current order.
