Adds button to the host menu to allow shared lives.
Resolves#37
Buttons are now resizeable. Use gButtonScale.<size> (large, medium, or small).
It could be argued that we don't need the small size. However, it may be beneficial for the future if the menu becomes more complex.
large is the normal default size. Or at least it was the size already being used by sm64ex-coop (0.11111111f)
Note: Buttons for changing menu's should be gButtonScale.large as the menu animation is made for large buttons. To keep consistency it's probably a good idea for buttons that transfer you to a new menu to always be set to large. As such, I didn't feel it necessary to extend this feature to these methods: bhv_menu_button_growing_from_custom and bhv_menu_button_shrinking_to_custom.
Resolves#60
Allows mods to register themselves so that mismatches don't occur. This
does not automagically detect when someone modified the game, so the
mods will have to insert a function like this into their patch:
static void __attribute__((constructor)) _register_this_mod() {
network_register_mod("mod name here");
}
Changed synchronizing text to be more descriptive
Added 'player connected', 'player disconnected', 'network shutdown' chat messages
Prevented someone from joining through Discord while in another lobby
Added the distinction of sending a packet to all vs to a specific player
Enforced lobby size of 2, multiple joiners in a direct connection will be booted
Stored network destination for each player
