* 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
* M_SkyScroll optimization with still speeds; refactor background drawing
* Music (in time attack screens so far)
* FadeStrength
* HideTitlePics
* Scrolling backgrounds in Time Attack (moved F_SkyScroll to m_menu)
* Make the maximum number of staff ghosts 99 instead of 100. It's a minor thing, and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it fixes a bugbear I haven't been able to get out of my head since originally starting to maintain this code. (In the case of 100, it'd do S00, which'd have some fucky effects on ordering. If we WANTED to start with S00, we shoulda used that slot in the first place.)
Also: Remove playercolor being set to the replay's color. No need to kill your settings, seeing as it makes no tangible effect on your replay (doesn't even lose colour when you die, so I don't even know...)
* Lots of menu changes!
* Little arrows next to changeable cvars!
* Show default value for sliders!
* Pretty pretty pretty.
* I don't know how to describe some of these changes.
* Effectively nuke MIDI music support!
* Skiddown at the start of a race is more interesting!
* Spinning in waterslides!
* Tiny bugfix in voting, plus a little celebration...
* Improve control menus significantly - a more layout-neutral, gameplay importance based order, with spacing, and less depth to get to the important stuff.
* Port over the improved MP main menu from internal, including flattening the IP connect onto its level.
* Allow for selecting the number of splitscreen players using a menu option, rather than three seperate menu choices.
* Improve the layout of all of the level/gametype select menus slightly.
* (unrelated) Make fourth player area in 3p splitscreen use the tiling background instead of a pure black area.
* (unrelated) Tweak minimap ordering slightly.
* Add a default behaviour to followmobj (just basic A_CapeChase).
* Allow for modifying which character starting a new SP game should start you on, relative to the first valid character. (SOC's "startchar" variable)
* Make MF2_SHADOW transferrable via linkdraw.
* Modify P_GetSkinSprite2's recursion limiter to have zero chance of ever infinitely looping.
* 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.
* Improved layout of addons menu.
* Disabled input for 5 tics after a console-touching enter key command on the menu, so that weird stuff doesn't happen.
* Added Add-on options.
* cv_addons_option - chooses save location. A little smaller in scope than the weird Default/HOME/SRB2/Custom thing for screenshots - now it's SRB2 Folder and Custom.
* cv_addons_folder - goes with Custom for above.
* cv_addons_md5 - chooses whether to identify files on the addons menu with name comparison only, or with checksum comparison as well (more intensive hence not default).
* cv_addons_showall - chooses whether to show just supported file extensions, or all
* Some minor other refactors.
Bad:
* Screenshot options menu crashes on access for some reason (to do with itemOn not being valid?????) looking into

I will make it prettier.
(Also: stristr. Since the Windows (and others?) standard library doesn't have it for some reason, I modified code someone put on StackExchange as a stopgap; once I'm ready to get on IRC for the day, we'll discuss attribution/rewriting.)
* 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.
