* Changed the order of Record/Nights Attack and its level select menu option so that you go from the main menu to the map page to level select, rather than main menu to level select to map page.
* Cleaned up a lot of code.

Will be discussing what to do with the space freed under "server options" the heading on IRC tomorrow.
(MI, if you're looking - the mistake was that I set up an IT_CALL menu line as IT_CVAR by mistake, which of course caused a crash when trying to get ((consvar_t *)M_GameTypeChange)->string. ;P )
Updated the mid-game gametype/level select menu! Just need to combine it with the server creation menu, and then I'll be ready to make a merge request...
This fixes the grid floors in TD's Lava Mountain freezing the game if they go off the bottom of the screen far enough (they have ACWRFL1A as the wall texture, which is a single patch texture with holes)
Still need to figure out the way to sort pressing esc on reselect level sending you back to the title screen. This will need further whittling before I can call this a solved section and move onto MP stuff.
* More comprehensive "pick up where you left off" system.
* Made individual map name selection actually take into account the map name AND the act number if the heading isn't the zone name.
* Named all the new functions/etc "Platter" instead of "NewList", to make maintenence easier and also because it sounds delicious.
* The code, as a whole, is much cleaner.
* Allows for multiple items under the same heading now, with highlights and spacing consistently handled.
* Allows for picking up where you left off between menus now (assuming the same map is available on multiple screens).
* Defined M_CanShowLevelInList in terms of the two compartmentalised functions cleaved from it, in order to ensure consistency and prevent code duplication.
* Fixing an inconsistency with being able to change skin colours when you shouldn't be able to, much like the previous skin change issue that was fixed.

Diagonal bounding boxes are no longer root 2 larger than they should be. Testwad is <root>/toaster/sawb.wad. Nice and simple.

Slopewall transfer
As @Nev3r wants. Go along a slope, hit a wall? LAUNCH! Well, I mean. He wants it slightly less weak. I have already made it less weak than P_SlopeLaunch.
Also also I made the trail that goes behind the player when they're rolling take into account vertical momentum as well as horizontal, so that being launched directly up didn't leave you trailless.
Test with <root>/!LatestSRB2Files/srb2win_branch_transfer.exe and <root>/Nev3r/ACZMaster.wad (roll down slope directly in front of you).

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.

Breaks compatibility with 2.1 so put in internal.

Plane displacement
Basic support for plane displacement, no netplay support as of writing but this is what Nev3r wanted moreorless at least.
Linedef types 66-68 are the plane displacement specials; 66 = move floor only, 67 = move ceiling only, 68 = both
Front sector = control sector
Tag = tag of target sectors to be moved whenever the control sector floor moves
Linedef length = movement factor relative to control sector movement, 256 = 1:1 with control sector. 128 is half as much, 512 is twice as much, etc.
Whenever the control sector floor moves (not ceiling, never ceiling), the selected planes of the tagged sectors all move (mind, they have a tic delay due to how it all works, it's not perfect really). No support for reverse speeds yet sorry.
EDIT: oh, btw, test exe and test map are included in my folder on the FTP (srb2win-plane-displacement.exe and plane-disp-test.wad, respectively)
See merge request !61
* Made the name of P_PrepareSlopeToWallTransfer (now P_GetWallTransferMomz) make sense.
* Bugfixed the case where you couldn't reliably guess the angle of the wall you just hit.
* Seriously reworked a lot of stuff behind the scenes, thanks to Red's comments.
* More consistent behaviour.
* Launching power is now scaled to the slope's angle relative to the wall you hit, so no massive launches when you hit the side of a steep slope.
* The code is a lot messier and the function name doesn't make any sense any more, so I need to clean that up in the morning.
* Need to figure out how to prevent tiny launches that uncurl you when spindashing up against walls.
* Spindashing trails now takes into account vertical momentum as well as horizontal - it was stupid not seeing your spintrail just because you weren't moving very fast horizontally!
No exe uploaded because it's almost 2am.
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)

No more double-decker Detons
Oversight of a tiny hack when working on the flickies branch meant detons released twin flickies when hitting stuff. As cute as that is, it's also pretty weird.
See merge request !62
This new function returns a string representing the type of userdata the variable given (e.g. mobj_t, player_t), it even works on "minor" userdata types (player_t.powers, skin_t.soundsid, sector_t.lines, etc)
-If the server tries to kick a joiner who is downloading the game state, they will get a timeout instead, because a regular kick would only happen once the game state has been downloaded
-Added a timeout for player ticcmd packets, again to prevent freezes to happen in some cases
-File/game state downloading is now faster, the speed is controlled by the "downloadspeed" cvar, in packets per tic
-The reason is now properly shown when the server refuses connection
-Changed the default values of "nettimeout" to 10 seconds (previously 15) and "maxsend" to 4 MB (previously 1)
-Added a "noticedownload" cvar that displays a message in the server console when someone is downloading a file
CMake: Fix nasm Linux builds
When compiling under Linux with CMake and nasm/yasm enabled, the operation would fail during linking with undefined symbols related to the tmap files.
This commit adds support for passing flags to the assembler and passes ```-DLINUX``` in order to compile.
After this change, binaries are successfully compiled with either nasm or yasm on Linux systems.
Tested on Ubuntu.

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.

Savegame hotfixes
Yes, this another netgame related fix! Named this "savegame hotfixes" rather than "ERCZ hotfix" or the like in advance of the fact we probably need a general branch for other $$$.sav fixes?
Anyway, fixes included in by this branch:
* ERCZ's lava falls now act as expected rather than being stuck in place for the map's duration, fixing all other known desynchronisation issues known in the map for the time being (yay)
* Changing sector tags in a map no longer causes joiners to netgames to have their SRB2 application stop responding etc
* Player names should no longer turn red in the console in gametypes outside of CTF/Team Match if a resynch occurs (not $$$.sav related, but it's related to netplay so I lumped it in anyway)
See merge request !150
One Eggscalibur fix
Use mobj->watertop instead of mobj->spawnpoint->z. CEZ3 is far from fixed in multiplayer, but this is still one less thing to worry about.
See merge request !148
Software plane rendering fixes/cleanup
This is mostly cleanup, with the exception that polyobject planes should now behave somewhat better than they do in 2.1 currently (translucent polyobj planes should now always be actually translucent regardless of where you view them from, for instance). I can't claim I've fixed their rendering once and for all though, there may still be bugs for all I know...
See merge request !136
Some texture-related fixes
Bugs fixed in this branch:
* upper/lower/middle textures with non-existent texture ids being capable of crashing the game. For instance, RVZ1 has colormap codes on non-colormap linedefs, which causes them to wind up with invalid texture ids because of how the game tries to interpret lower/upper textures with "#" followed by characters on normal linedefs. Fortunately these "textures" are normally not visible anyway (since they're all in control sectors) unless they are swapped with in-level textures by some crazy Lua script of some sort...
* animated single-patch textures with holes displaying garbage on first viewing (see this thread: https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42195)
* the heights of the lighting (shadows or colormapping) from water/translucent/shadowcasting/etc FOFs become messed up when displayed on repeated midtextures.
See merge request !144
Flat changing hotfix
This should fix how Lua scripts that change flats in levels, particularly to flats that don't already exist in the level, cause SRB2 to crash for anyone who joins a netgame afterwards. (I'm not sure if it's a consistent thing or not though)
Probably needs a good test to verify the issue is completely fixed before being merged in. Maybe there are other minor things I didn't account for in this fix? I don't know!
See merge request !141
Dunno who thought it was a good idea to lump tag, nexttag and firsttag together in $$$.sav, but that meant changing sector tags caused SRB2 to stop responding since it lead to the tag lists being broken
This fixes ERCZ's lava falls not moving after joining a netgame at that stage. Possibly explains other various floor/ceiling related netgame quirks that haven't been noticed until now, maybe even in multiplayer levels.
Remove secplanes
This is just removing SSNTails's old port of ZDoom's secplane code and math, from back when he attempted slopes himself. The slopes we've had since 2.1.15 however do not need these, so we can pretty much toss the code for them out now (nothing uses them anyway).
See merge request !149
-Updated packet name list so the debug file no longer shows garbage packet names
-Replaced byte values with actual net command names in the debug file. Only the first net command in a packet will be shown though
-Added a MOBJCONSISTANCY define that makes the game takes all revelant mobjs to be counted in the synch seed
-Added a PACKETDROP define that adds two console commands "drop" and "droprate" to simulate bad internet by dropping packets
-Added/changed comments here in there in the netcode
-Fixed a minor error that would ignore one of the urgent ack slots
-Added a space between the map name and "zone" for the messages shown in a joiner's console
This fixes Brak's electric barrier disappearing for joiners to ERZC. There seems to be some issues with the lava falls there too I've found, but the electric barrier actually stays around now at least
* 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.
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*
Spindash dust
Charging a spindash kicks up dust, we all know this feature was dying to get in at some point. Bubble and flame forms of spin dust are included from FSonic, for underwater and elemental respectively.
Oh, and as a bonus I reorganised the spindash/spinning/other ability2 stuff code to look a bit neater and more organised.
New resources:
* MT_SPINDUST - the object
* S_SPINDUST1 to 4 - the normal form's states
* S_SPINDUST_BUBBLE1 to 4 - the bubble form's states
* S_SPINDUST_FIRE1 to 4 - the bubble form's states
* SPR_DUST - the normal form's sprite set (uses frames A to D, just pinch FSonic's sprites really)
* SPR_FPRT - the flame form's sprite set (frame A only)
SF_NOSPINDASHDUST disables spindash dust for a character

Multi-patch texture support for transparency AND translucency
Fixes the transparent bits of the multi-patch glass texture in THZ1 turning cyan when linedef types 900-908 are applied for translucency
See merge request !56
Zoom tube camera fix
Fixed a mistake where I accidentially allowed people to change the player angle whilst in a zoom tube when previously improving them.
See merge request !57
Smoother ropes and zoom tubes
Makes rope hangs and zoom tubes suck less. Specifically, they handle corners (and vertical height changes, ala sloped rope hangs) a LOT nicer. Ported from internal.
See merge request !139
As LJSonic has pointed out, there's no need for a for loop in either case; just use sector->floorpic/ceilingpic as a levelflats index directly
(Besides, if that was to stop any out-of-bounds indexes being used, that's hardly the way to do it anyway)
*Added FLIPX/FLIPY support for multi-patch textures and single-patch textures without holes
*Added FLIPY support for single-patch textures with holes; I'll sort FLIPX support out later
