* Homogenise old chat mode detection, which includes `cv_consolechat.value`, `dedicated`, and `vid.width < 640`.
* Make the chat notification sounds work in old chat mode.

* Add chat options to the HUD and Sound Option menus.

* Fix an inconsistency in timing re a time over that involves a single person (the number of tics exiting usually takes), versus a time over that involves multiple people (8*TICRATE).
* Barebones preparatory work for F-Zero explosion, since I was futzing around in this already.

* Fix minor additional error in tab rankings.
* Remove FREE PLAY from intermission drawer, per Sal's request.
* Remove "second%s" from the end of the "Start in %d"/"Vote ends in %d" string.
* Rename cv_advancemap's "Off" value to "Same", to make the behaviour clearer.
* Make the "Start in %d" string now begin with cv_advancemap's string (ie, "Vote in %d", "Same in %d", "Random in %d, Next in %d"...

Fix dropped else in tab rankings view, leading to the exiting text being drawn on top of other text for no good reason.

* Place FREE PLAY in a less contentous location.
* Fix comeback timer being incorrectly offset from the center of the screen.
* Prevent vote drawer from nuking itself (visual-wise) at the start of the level fade following it.

* Make the three P_Play<?>Sounds from p_local.h actual functions that acknowledge the kartvoices cvar.

* Fix free play on intermission.
* Fix crash in killing/damaging mobj with null death/pain state.

* "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).

- Turning dust is spawned in the correct position
- Turning dust sprites are flipped
- Shadows display on the ceiling for flipped objects
- Drift sparks display in the correct position for flipped players

Will continue with item fixes tomorrow

These are both huge boons for gamepad functionality. If we can add a way to add a menu key, then all of the controller requirements for v1 will be covered.

- A new variable, voteclient.loaded, for keeping track of whenever or not voting data has been set up or not. Gets set to true in Y_StartVote, false in Y_UnloadVoteData. This is used to prevent drawing the screen in cases where it would crash, and preventing duplicate Y_EndVote calls.
- The game checks for all spectator when transitioning to vote, to decide whenever or not it should skip it entirely or not.
- Unrelated: made the roulette cheating much more common. Hopefully it's as cheaty as Mario Party now :p

Made very easy to revert if needed. tbh I can hardly notice it unless if I pay attention, and it most definitely never happens without Grow

- Ballhog explosion separated onto another sprite
- Disabled banana jitter

Type `karteliminatelast off` to turn it off, and `karteliminatelast on` to... you know the rest.

- Banana drag timer resets when placing one, for x3 & x10 bananas
- Banana dragging spawns transulcent dust
- Dragging bananas make them twitch up & down

- Ballhog has explosion + sound on death
- Ballhog shrinks to nothing if it didn't hit anything
- Replaced a Mario sound on Orbinaut
- Fixed Jawz's sound effect
- Fixed Mines not being removed on death pits

"It is only the *results* that remain in this world! All the *actions* you take in a world where time is erased are meaningless!" - Diavolo, Chapter 520

* Decreasing number of writes - now the unchanging gametype is only written once, and both gametypes are written as UINT8s instead of UINT16s.
* Increasing size of buffer to match new threshold.

Item dist scales with low player count instead of just odds, you can change some cvars during start countdown

Do Oni's suggested changes to the wipe-based level intro fade. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/270211093761097728/470690865279401994/kart0019.gif
