- Improve balloon-based items. Much more distinguished differences
between the different ranks
- Reverted Feather strafing. You can now just... properly move in the
air, if you're using a Feather or a Bounce Pad.
- Bounce pads are now stronger while using speed items.
- Fixed the long standing bug about offroad & ziplines working when
you're on FOFs above them. This is a tricky subject, so please report
any issues you may come across related to this.
- Shells should no longer travel to Mars, nor will they when using
bounce pads. They should now do a gentle hop.
- :WIP: new MP Player Setup screen, now shows character stats. Will
later feature the list of characters in a row of icons, and a backported
2.2 color selector with toast's permission
- Renamed "Match" to "Battle" :p
- Yet MORE minor cases where kartspeed & kartweight were being read as
fixed_t when they're freakin' UINT8's, people!
- Position faces are now drawn in Battle, categorized first by balloons,
then by points
- Balloon-based items, gives people who are worse off better items, and
people who are better off worse items.
- You can strafe while using feather or while using a bounce pad
- Reduced the strength of bounce pad thrust on items
- Increased bounce pad's minimum forward push on players
- Made Frantic Mode just a teeeeensy bit more frantic
- Fixed being able to use Feathers mid-air
- Fixed being unable to steal Feathers
- Drift sparks use frameangle instead of angle
- K_DoBouncePad now uses mobj_t instead of player_t
- Bounce pads can now bump thrown shells
- Bounce pads now give heavier gravity to players
- The suicide command now works in all gamemodes
- Comeback timer is now always 10 seconds instead of scaling
- Takes 10 seconds before exiting
- Flashing tics is doubled in Battle Mode
- Removed a bunch of bomb nerfs
- Bombs are back to making only 1 point per hit
- Exposed K_GetKartAccel & K_GetKartFlashing to Lua
- Item boxes should no longer drop while going up slopes
- Trading item boxes with a bomb should turn you back into a bomb
- Balloons should no longer all respawn when dying in pits in 2-player
games
- Flashing players are able to kill *thrown* shells again (shields and
trap items are still unkillable). Prevents red shells from being able to
stick to a flashing player and hurt them again as soon as they're done
flashing
- CHECK appears at a farther distance
- Player arrows now show if a player is in the item roulette
- Boo has been improved, and added back to Battle's item roulette
- The CHECK HUD item is now more accurate, and should appear more often
- Early comeback mechanic. Functional, but really unpolished
- Attempted (again) to make the first player to join in a netgame spawn
with balloons
- No longer shows respawn text on death
- Different sizes for the balloons, depending on how many you have
- Balloons are fullbright, cast shadows, and stick closer to players
- Mega Mushrooms can now appear
- Can steal items with Boo in Battle Mode now, as intended
- Death pits make you lose only 1 balloon
- Balloons disappear properly if you use Boo
- Boo item icon should no longer appear if you're out of balloons
- You can now properly respawn in Battle Mode
- Can no longer collide with items if you are already holding one
* 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.
Consistent flat alignment
Does what it says on the tin. Consistent between the three different plane drawers:
* Software flat (previously the only one working as intended)
* Software sloped (took a lot of work)
* OpenGL flat and sloped (worked reasonably well but used different signs for some reason)
Check out root/!LatestSRB2Files/srb2win_branch_flat2.exe, root/toaster/flatalignment.wad and any in-dev DSZ1 to test it all out.

Fixes with respect to sector special touching and slopes
Some important stuff.
* SF_TRIGGERSPECIAL_TOUCH now actually works. Previously, it abandoned the loop early if ANY bounding sector didn't have that sector flag, which it likely didn't - only checking one extra sector's worth of FOFs. Also, the teleport handling there is more robust, and actually bails out if you teleport, instead of just awkwardly continuing through the loop.
* SF_TRIGGERSPECIAL_TOUCH now works for each time thinkers, too.
* Fixed a bug with being able to go under lava because P_CheckSolidLava doesn't take slopes into account.
* Also, P_CanRunOnWater supports slopes now too.
* Quicksand supports slopes and reverse gravity now.
* Space Countdown supports slopes now.
Also, an experiment behind a #define which currently isn't turned on:
* UNDER A #define, "SECTORSPECIALSAFTERTHINK", WHICH IS CURRENTLY TURNED OFF, BUT I WILL WANT TO TURN ON IN INTERNAL: Moved sector touch handling to P_PlayerAfterThinker (from P_PlayerThinker before movement). Allows for being able to trigger moving slope sectors that are going down, most specifically lava (didn't matter in RVZS in 2.1 because you could clip through the sides and go underneath the lava, causing damage - a sloped testwad version of that prevented going underneath.) Also fixes one-frame standing on deathpits before you die. Basically means sector triggers effectively happen one tic earlier, since it's after movement.

-Now can load map WAD files inside Maps/ directory, but they must only contain map data explicitly!
Known problems:
-There's an issue causing a crash with palettes and colormaps in PK3s.
-SS_START and SS_END don't work now. Will check later.
-Standalone lumps for maps in the Maps/ folder don't work anymore; perhaps I should keep that functionality?
Notes:
-It's now a mashup of something dumb that I wanted to do and yet piling hacks again.
-A lot of code duplicity with map lump loading functions.
Level specials setup stuff
Some changes to level setup, largely inconsequential for gameplay but maybe helpful for Lua scripting:
* gravity, weather, and some other internal variables are set to their defaults before loading things, so their values from a previous level don't affect mobj spawning potentially
* Tag lists are also initialised before loading things, so that tag-based search functions (such as P_FindSpecialLineFromTag) can be used internally for the maces and particle generator. This should probably extend to Lua as well
* the level header "forcecharacter" no longer recognises "255" as "None" anymore. This is because it no longer takes skin numbers (as of whenever that change was added... version 2.0?), and level headers are auto-cleared when edited anyway.
