* A better representation of an Encore level, now with inverted graphics (a special remapping we can now use elsewhere whenever if we want!) and a floating Ruby!
* Decouple encore's setting from cv_kartencore on mapload. Instead, bake it into D_MapChange and related, which will only some of the time be fed by cv_kartencore's value.
* Encore mode now has a special mapheader palette setting, "encorepal", rather than using the same one as non-encore.
* "kartvoices" cvar. Possible values "Never", "Tasteful" (default), and "Meme".
* Added a way to move quickly through the credits, rather than skip them entirely (hold spacebar or down arrow).
* Fix a few mistakes in M_ChangeCvar, some of which I introduced and some of which were weird in the first place.
* Tweak the offset of the arrows that let you know you can modify a cvar by pressing left or right (some via a patch.kart change, but others via tweaking the drawing location).
* Have the entire thing slide the fuck away a short while into the intermission.
* The tab screen is modified to work off similar behaviour and presentation.
* To go with it, a revamp of how Battle's scoring is handled.
* It's now considered "hits", and is stored in a reuse in one of the vanilla NiGHTS variables, allowing it to use exactly the same ranking mechanisms as race.
* No more resetting of score between battle rounds.
* Minor, unrelated general code cleanup in places.
* Disable the YEEEAH in splitscreen, otherwise you'll hear it *all the time*.
* Do the gametype change stuff on the voting screen.
* Make all the picking sound and setting stuff one function, rather than in two seperate places that need to be kept identical.
* Have the timer at the bottom be the highlight colour.
* Map hell! LF2_HIDEINMENU is craftily reused...
* Less allocation and deallocation for the adjacent G_RandMaps.
Other stuff...
* Fix command_map_f not resetting players' score in battle.
* Shiny titlescreen!
* Fix a random bonus newline in one of the quit messages.

* Fix some wipe bugs.
* Solved that thing where there was no fade between two back-to-back cutscenes.
* Fixed there being no effective wipe between the end of the vanilla intro cutscene and the title screen.
* Smoothed out the behaviour of titlemap fades to prevent conflicts.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] Kill the pause graphic and replace with a blue box with text in it, like what happens when the window loses focus. Much harder to miss.
OLD SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres in old special stages instead of rings!
* Individual timers in old special stages instead of a global one!
* Old special stages use a variant of the NiGHTS HUD now!
* Special stage damage in old special stages loses 5 seconds of time instead of 10 rings/spheres!
* All damage gained through old special stages is converted to special stage damage! As a consequence, the special spikeball has no need to be special anymore.
* Made emerald gaining function be based on special stage number rather than gained emeralds!
* Consistency with...
NiGHTS SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres now flash in bonus time. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452590553100713984/srb20032.gif
* Sphere and ring mapthingnums are now less fucked up in 'em. (Rings are 300, same as usual, while Spheres are now 1706 replacing NiGHTS Wings.)
SPECIAL STAGES IN GENERAL:
* useNightsSS is now dead. Each individual special stage is now assessed for NiGHTS-mode behaviour based on maptol & TOL_NIGHTS.
* CRAWLA HONCHO\n CAN NOW BE\n SUPER CRAWLA HONCHO end tally modification now also includes a mini-tutorial on turning super. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
* SONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452623869497573386/srb20034.gif

* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
RANDOM BS:
* Turn super with the spin button instead of the jump button!
* Followmobj now correctly set with P_SetTarget instead of pointer assignment.
* Emerald hunt uses new sprites!
* Made unlock noise different from emblem gain noise! (It's the CRAWLA HONCHO CAN NOW TURN yadda yadda sound from S3K now.)
