Polyobject checksight fix
This branch fixes how polyobject lines apparently stop objects from "seeing" other objects behind them; the relevant code now checks the polyobject's top and bottom too! This is relevant for enemies trying to get you, Homing attack, Fang's gun, etc etc.
Can't say if it's perfect or not, but it's a definitely an improvement over what happened before, anyhow.

-------
Braking no longer stops on a dime, and instead reduces your speed input. The effect is different between braking and accelerating at the same time, and braking on its own.
Increased 'driftweight' to player->kartweight*14, up from player->kartweight*12.
Changed the base drift curve formula from a range of 447 - 303, to 415 - 303. This will result in a very slightly wider drift arc at low weights. This does not effect the strength of steering while drifting.
Drifting without holding a direction now has a bonus of 0.5 frames, up from 0.
Added kartweight to the required number of drift frames, at half value. Lighter characters take up to 4 additional frames to earn blue sparks, 8 for orange.
No doubling texture heights plz
If you didn't know, apparently SRB2 was hardcoded to double the height of 64x64 textures created using TX_START/TX_END. This has frustrated some a lot. This branch removes this hack at last (there doesn't appear to be any visual issues resulting from removing it, anyway).
srb2win-nodoubletexheight.exe can be found in my FTP folder.

First person HUD drown numbers fix
This branch fixes the following issues with the first person HUD when drowning:
* "0" turning into Sonic's drown sprite, since both sprites happen to be named DRWNA0
* SF_MACHINE's special drowning numbers from 3rd person not being used
See merge request !80
-------
Accelcode now factors in forwardmove value rather than a boolean. This is used to enable clutching (or whatever you call it; accel+brake) to give its own result.
Fixed Thwomps killing players rather than crushing them.
Reverted buggy collision experiment from previous version.
MI hardcode stuff
A branch where I hardcode some of the various SOCs in patch.dta and some of our external files
Stuff hardcoded in this branch (so far)
* The contents of SOC_PITY from patch.dta
* The contents of SOC_XMAS from patch.dta
* The big gargoyle for DSZMaster-n1.wad
I've made a subfolder called "mi-hardcode" in my FTP folder for files you'll need for testing:
* srb2win-mihardcode.exe is an exe I compiled for this branch
* An edit of patch.dta with SOC_PITY and SOC_XMAS removed, this can be the new patch.dta once merged in

-------
Reverted drift timer to 52 + player->kartspeed;
Reduced weight's effect on neutral drifting by 10%
Reduced weight's effect on collision by 50%
*EXPERIMENTAL*: Inverted collision's x and y. This should shunt players to the side instead of bump them forward?
--------
Driftboost formula changed to:
49 + player->kartspeed*2;
(No longer factors weight from previous version)
Collision code now factors character weight for players.
Collision code now only plays the collision sound once, rather than per player.
Weight now factors into drifting's base value. A heavier character will drift more straight with no input and have less control.
Added a cheat check in SetPlayerSkinByNum(), to force speed and weight within the boundaries of 1 and 9.
Nerfed orange turbo to 50 frames, down from 60.
Basically in preperation of supporting colourblindness modes I implemented the following link when loading palettes.
http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems2/gpugems2_chapter24.html
This basically means I can do whatever the hell I want to the colour profile of incoming paletties, and nobody can stop me. Muahahahaha etc.
Also, I added a saturation feature to show off its full potential, converted gamma from a table to a factor of the calculation, tweaked some menus and made the default value of cvars show up on sliders. Because that's how I roll.
