* Do that thing where the character icons are ALWAYS 1x sized, through having two seperate lumps.
* Revamp the S_SKIN parameters to be `facerank` (rankings - equivalent of half-scale old face), `facewant` (WANTED - equivalent of old face), and `facemmap` (equivalent of old iconprefix).
* Do that thing Oni wanted where it shows two postions above and two positions below your current ranking (and you) to the left of the screen, instead of always the top 4, with some limits to avoid drawing outside of everything.
* Replace the last few shitty Mario numbers (for the left rankings) with cool, new Oni numbers.
* Change a bunch of offsets and things so the tab rankings and the intermission work nicer with 9+ players.
* Make the white intro fade always drawn, rather than potentially disable-able through tab or HUD disable.
* Slightly increase the darkness of the intermission fade, since its current value had a negative effect on SKINCOLOR_SAPPHIRE.
* Re-enable the flashing-set thing on attempting to join with the item key. I spoke to Sal privately about this - turns out some keys ALWAYS send key presses instead of only sending one, and shift - what I have item bound to - is one of the problematic ones.
* Make the no-joining-game-after-20-seconds thing happen 20 seconds after the TIMER has started, not the level (ie, take starttime into account)
You can now remap Change Viewpoint, Screenshot, and Toggle GIF Recording to other keys, mainly for gamepads
They also pushed me to my breaking point and I couldn't tolerate the control menu anymore, thanks to toaster for the scrolling backport
* Palette remaps.
* Branding.
TODO:
* Doesn't work in GL. (Mostly.) I have SOME ideas on how to tackle this, but...
* Transmaps are broken in Encore for some reason.
* I tried to make in-level colormaps shimmy over, but it didn't quite work, so I commented it out and only semi-fixed it.
* Activates when there are less than two non-spectators in a netgame.
* Shows flashing text at the bottom of the screen.
* Prevents drawing several UI elements that only make sense with multiple players.
* Prevents matchesplayed being increased.
* Improve the mapreset timer's behaviour.
* Now you get to see the HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER screen as the starting frame of the relevant map transition, since it happens on mapreset being 1 rather than 0.
* Make a bunch of normal gameplay stuff that might've activated unnecessarily during mapreset now not able to.
* Hide some other stuff that might've been visible for no good reason.
* Improve Mirror mode.
* First person now works with it!
* Tweaked the minimap player heads. Although the main section of the automap is mirrored, it feels... wrong to mirror the player head? IDK, you may wish to revert this, but given that everything else is the right way around except for the level itself...* Disable the titlescreen demos, at least until we actually gear up for release and make real ones.
* Disable the titlescreen demos, at least until we actually gear up for release and make real ones.
- New player flag, PF_WANTSTOJOIN, added for setting up a spectator queue. You are allowed to join as long as no one has started lap 2.
- Map resets when two people have entered the game, so matches can start naturally without the need of an admin.
* Time overs now supported, see below.
* Ties now supported!
* Code cleaned up.
* Play more sonicy tally sounds when counting your points.
* A bunch of time over related stuff!
* Exitlevel time overs everyone, which means no points for you.
* F-Zero-sorta-maybe style death if you're the last person on the course (and not the ONLY one) when someone crosses the finish line! (Or switches to spectator.)
* A bunch of music related stuff!
* Functionally reverted many of my changes to splitscreen and ending music, although the major changes to simplify music code are still kept.
* P_EndingMusic is genericised across gametypes, and only switches a single letter (and looping-ness) now!
* Fix exitlevel in race causing whatever you're listening to to keep playing.
* Make powerups call P_RestoreMusic.
* Put a call to P_EndingMusic into P_RestoreMusic.
* Unrelated crap.
* Make all palette swaps happen at the black point of fades, so they don't stick around awkwardly.
* Huh, I thought I did more than that. Oh well!
* Deaths in record attack no longer put you into a glitchy singleplayer game-over state that we somehow both kept around and also broke since we branched Kart off of Vanilla..
* Fix non-standard mapscales making the Death Egg respawn octagons dissasemble themselves.
* Allow for MULTIPLE TIME EMBLEMS PER MAP, at least in the emblem UI on the timer. It shows all completed emblems plus the uncompleted emblem up to a total of three.
* Major tweaks to the First Person HUD.
* I know this was your baby, Sal, and some of the changes may prove controversial - so I've put the ones that are likely to cause the most fuss inside an ifndef block, so that you can toggle it as you please with minimal code changes.
* Dontdraw-ness, transparency, and colorization match the player's object!
* Moves around on the screen with respect to the direction of the player object's motion, to make drifting look nicer!
* Flashes the colour of your drift sparks.
* Did a WHOLE bunch of things with respect to music. I'm not sure how to describe this, so I'll go through step-by-step.
* Countdowns now play the drowning music again.
* Removed/disabled extraenous P_RestoreMusics.
* Made map-ending music called by its own function, P_EndingMusic(player_t *player).
* Made the ending music play on the LAST player crossing the finishing line in splitscreen, rather than first.
* Make dead players spinout and clip through the floor, at least until we add the new death anims.
* Fix prior pogo spring usage making dead players fall faster.
* Make the time over countdown use the kart font when not splitscreen with 3 or 4 players.
* Removed a weird bonus HWR_DrawCroppedPatch function signature in the hardware header.
More menu/highlight things:
* Rename "Default" to "Game type", to make clearer what it's doing.
* Tweak race colouring slightly.
* Put a highlight around the level select icon, and make it consistent with voting.
* Allow setting the highlight colour to affect the intermissions.
* Fix bug with gametype colour getting for record attack.
A handful of skincolour things:
* Rename Turqouise to Aqua, because it resembles one of my fav 2.2 colours with that name.
* Fix incomplete Steel Blue -> Steel rename.
* Merge the very similar Blueberry and Sapphire...
* ... so Sapphire can be backported!
* And Ruby too.
* Bar of levels.
* Colourisation!
* New V_SKYMAP, which hasn't been put in dehacked lists but is otherwise valid!
* New single page statistics screen!
* V_DrawFixedPatch now works at the edge of the screen!
Ghost fixes!
* On minimaps!
* Free memory after use!
* Don't spawn in midair on slopes!
* 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.
* Defer the change until you're actually modifying the map, in service of the following.
* Reset score.
* Call that gametype change function.
* Collary of the above: Don't reset score if you're `map mapxx`ing in the console, unless it's `force`'d.
* Fix the basic, obvious issues that'd prevent us shipping with the new level title system.
* Correct the non-green resolution support, which was ALMOST there but which I accidentially fucked up one of the signs on.
* Adjust the subttl position if it'd get overwritten.
* Draw the gametype with the subttl.
* Adjust the gametype constants for easier gametype_cons_t array access.
* To go with this, have the HUD fade in as the title goes away.
* After complaints, only do dogear gametype indicators on the voting screen for levels which don't match the prevailing gametype, and use thin font to intrude on the level pic less.
* Make the voting screen background a different graphic in battle.
* Improve behaviour of DrawDiag in GL.
- Peelout sound for sneaker boosts
- Flicky grab sound for stealing balloons
- Adaptive sounds for start boosts (drift boost for sub-optimal boosts, sneaker boost for good boosts, super transform sound for the frame perfect boost)
- Orbinaut rollling sound

* 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.
