- Record Attack replays now save best lap time
- Removed instances of NiGHTS Attack
- Removed a lot of unlockable that have no use in Kart (ultimate mode,
perfect bonus, score emblems, etc)
- Removed all methods of activating ultimate mode
* Completely redid how splitscreen works, with eventual support for quads. Squish per-player stuff automatically into the right places! Works in GL, associated flag kills V_SPLITSCREEN.
* Seriously update the lives-drawing function for all gametypes, with strings that replace the lives number whenever it's missing (deprecates SKINNAMEPADDING).
* Improved how the nosshack works, alongside many other refactorings.
* Change the horizontal spacing of the emeralds on the special stage tally screen.
* (unrelated) Fix a reference to srb2.srb instead of the now-correct srb2.pk3.
* Update all the other V_DrawCroppedPatch calls to match the new behaviour.
* Fix the OGL version of V_DrawCroppedPatch to match the new behaviour.
(To justify my changes: It's not exposed to Lua, and the function signature was a mess. This way it's easier to mentally map how it would work.)
* cv_useranalog is now hidden from the menu.
* Directionchar now attempts to face the camera direction when you're standing still, and handles a few other states with more decorum.
* Tailsbot is now slightly more capable of keeping up with Sonic.
* pflags rearranged/adjusted, combining a few non-simulstaneous ones and turning PF_NIGHTSFALL into CR_NIGHTSFALL.
* [unrelated to branch] all ground-impact based abilities now happen more consistently with quicksand.
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.

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.
Lakitu is completely commented out currently and we will be able to re-add it back later
Final lap sounds do some wacky stuff with the variables of the local player only, and also block out the music just to restart it at the same speed currently, changed it to just be the lap sound, we can use a new sound for it later
they are basically unused outside of timeattack and checkpointtimes isn't sent for netplay anyway
we can reimplement later with a more sensible solution for lap times in time attack
Hardcoded music name switches
Like I said earlier, it's better if all the hardcoded music switches in 2.2 start with an underscore so that it's harder to accidentally overwrite them.
Should be accepted when music.dta is updated.
