* Serious refactor of - and internal exposure of - what has become S_StartCaption().
* Renaming of a few existing captions.
* The prevention of access to - or writing over - sfx_None's stuff in SOC or Lua.
* The new Lua wrapper function S_StartMusicCaption(string, tics, optional player), which essentially allows custom music captions to be created. (This is best used for stuff like final lap music in SRB2 Kart or bonus time in a thokker-like game, not a comprehensive Now Playing expy. That'd be a different kettle of fish.)
Also, updated all the lock-on stuff to use P_IsLocalPlayer instead of rolling my own.
* Provides a helpful description for the hearing impaired, whether permanent, temporary or situational.
* Consvar "closedcaptioning", with on/off values available.
* Only works if sounds are on. This is frustrating. I will see what I can do to allow it to work with sounds off in future, but for now it's dependent in order to properly accept or decline sounds.
* Thanks to MI for making that wiki page a lot more comprehensive a few days ago.
* Weapon ring is now a seperate sfx_wepfir instead of doubling up on sfx_thok.
* Also, made V_StringWidth work with V_NOSCALESTART.
Revamped Level Select (platter view)
Seriously revamped every level select instance in the game to use a more attractive and easier to navigate platter view, including:
* Game CLEAR! save (Title/Pause menus)
* Secrets Menu (including custom ones)
* Record Attack/NiGHTS Mode
* Server creation (Online/2P)
* MP Pause level select (Online/2P)
As a result, the layout of the last three above menus has been changed to varying degrees of difference.
Also, bonus feature: using level select (or MAP MAPxx without -force) in Co-op multiplayer won't reset your score, will keep any lives you have above the startinglives variable, and will not take away all your emeralds. The -force thing prevents both warping directly to special stages to rack up the emeralds AND ensures there IS a way to start a new game.

Also, LF2_WIDEICON lets you do this. https://gfycat.com/MenacingClearAngora

* Lock on targets bob now, and are used for CA_HOMINGTHOK and SH_ATTRACT as well.
* Flag stuff is now animated like it was designed to be but which was kinda messed up.
* Cork sounds.
* P_SpawnLockOn(player_t player, mobj_t lockon, statenum_t state) for Lua.
* Added homing/firing CA2_GUNSLINGER stuff at egg guard shields.
* Fixed homing stuff wrt egg guard shields and sea egg balloons.
* Fixed attract orb goin' gold when doing a CA_HOMINGTHOK homing ability.
* Fixed positioning of player during homing attack.
* Cleaned up lockon spawn code.
*P_LookForEnemies is now side-effect-less and only provides a pointer to the found mobj
*player-jumping is dead, long live PF_STARTJUMP
*per Mystic's request, CA2_GUNSLINGER has a targeting icon. It also has a more restricted vertical aiming range.
*mobj for this is in the game as requested
*fast teetering animation flag
*general code cleanup
Simple port of something I made for a 2.1 exe mod that Mystic mentioned
needed doing on the 2.2 Priorities topic
(http://mb.srb2.org/showpost.php?p=790613&postcount=4). Adds emblem type
"map", which gives you an emblem upon beating the map it's for. Var sets
more specific conditions; 1 for all emeralds completion, 2 for Ultimate
mode completion, 3 for Perfect Bonus completion. (These can be easily
removed if requested; these were added simply because it was easy to
implement for modders.)
Criticism on the way it's coded and/or how it is implemented is highly
encouraged. Test wad is <root>/TehRealSalt/levelemblems.wad,
pre-compiled exe is <root>/TehRealSalt/levelemblems.exe.
* CA2_MELEE/CA_TWINSPIN combination abilities (ground hit, somersalt) disabled.
* Enabled movement controls whilst using CA2_MELEE in the air.
* CA2_GUNSLINGER no longer requires charging. In exchange, it involves a cooldown in which you can't move.
* CA2_GUNSLINGER lock-on distance improved, and aiming allowance reduced to compensate.
* Lots of cleanup/gravflip allowances for homing/targeting code.
* Unrelated: Flickies now properly face the direction they're supposed to when getting knocked out of the egg capsule.
* Unrelated: Thok trail fades like spindash trail now.
* Unrelated: Using CA_HOMINGATTACK when nowhere near an enemy uncurls you.
* Mildly hacky proof of concept! Will de-hack later.
* Charge up your ability!
* You can only damage others if it's at full power.
* Fires directly at enemies/bosses when at full power. Does NOT aim at players.
Transparent patch support in TEXTURES
Adds transparent patch functionality for the TEXTURES format.
Duplicates source-to-cache column drawer functions and adds extra functionality which uses trans tables.
Changes how the column drawer is picked so it's done once per patch instead of per column.

* Melee now has a proper weightiness to it with a landing frame.
* If you have twinspin too, do a somersalt when running and hitting the melee button.
* If you have melee, go into the melee landing frame when twinspinning into the ground.
* PF_NIGHTSMODE is now CR_NIGHTSMODE as part of player->powers[pw_carry]. This is because it's mutually exclusive to every other "carry" type.
* PF_SUPERREADY is dead because it literally just checked for all 7 emeralds and 50 rings. That's it. You couldn't even appreciably alter its presence with Lua. That logic has been placed back in P_SuperReady.
* Speaking of, actively enforced not being able to be Super and NiGHTS at the same time.
* Also on that note - SPR2_TRNS is now the NiGHTS transformation. The Super transformation is (FF_SPR2SUPER|SPR2_TRNS).
* SPR2_NPAN is now SPR2_NSTN, since it matches Super Sonic's stun animation rather than the pain animation.
* Fixed a bunch of things where Super float was handled badly with 2AM brain.
* Fixed the R_ProjectSprite error going out of spr2names' bounds.
* Fixed order of FF's in dehackéd.
* Fixed that thing where Super Sonic was blue for 1 tic after transformation, and the life icon was a blue Super Sonic.
* Super sprites are now deliniated via an additional S_SUPER lump between S_START and S_END. Above are normal sprites, below are super sprites. Handled internally via FF_SPR2SUPER.
* Sprite2 numbers are now appropriately limited for the data type that stores them.
* SPR2_SPIN is now SPR2_ROLL, SPR2_DASH is now SPR2_SPIN and SPR2_PEEL is now SPR2_DASH. Makes more sense, right?
* Set the default flicky group to be equivalent to Flickylist = Demo.
* Refactored a little. (This also removed a crash-causing typo in a Z_Free in P_ClearSingleMapHeaderInfo.)
* 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.
