House Dagon needs a set of textures.

Implement administrative commands. Players should be able to receive
and 'admin level' enabling them to execute special administrative commands.
Those commands should still be available to the console.

The admin level is unrelated to the in-game player level.

TODO
- Implement a core::Player admin level property
- Implement admin command functions (core::Func)
- Implement admin.ini to define admin levels and the commands they have access to
- Add admin commands to handle player admin levels
- Turn existing core administrative commands (kick, mute, ...) into admin commands
- Change existing cheats (give, goto, ..) into admin commands,
have them take a player name as argument (e.g. give ingar credits 1000)
- Combine the 'jump' and 'goto' cheats into a 'teleport' command,
make it work while docked, support teleporting players accross zones
- Add 'nudge' admin command.

At random, if you use 'give ship' while your ship is moving, you can be trapped in a state where you cannot turn or move in any direction. You are still given the new ship, however, and if you use 'give ship' a few more times, you can recover from the problem.

Leaving this as low-priority since 'give ship' is technically a cheat. Setting this as category 'src' because the cause is unknown.

The corrent ui code has default fonts and font size in ui::root().
They have to bo moved to the ui::Palette class and handled like
colors and related settings.

The initial default fonts should be set in the ui::Pallette class.

It might be better to merge ui-style related settings
into a single ui::Stylesheet class and read settings from a .css
file.

Improved particle systems: weapon effects, engine effects, explosions, smoke...

An improved framework for particle systems unifying all of the above.

DONE
- Particle system code needs to support multiple ejectors per system,
at the moment a particle system is created for each ejector
- Add fine-grained control parameters (alpha start mid end) (radius start mid end) ..
See tremulous particles
- Streak style particles (aka 'trail sprites')
- replace [ejector] with [sprites] [flares] [trail] etc
- ejector thrust trigger
- ejector impulse trigger
- ejector explosion trigger

TODO
- Flame style particles -> needs thinking, how to do it exactly

Improved map menu, implement a 'galactic overview'. Provide galactic coordinates for each zone.
DONE
- add Info record type for zone info
- add Zone location
- add galactic overview to map
- add Zone::info() to network message
- add Zone::flags()
- add Zone::flags() to network message
- add Zone::location() to network message
- add Zone::color() and use it on the galactic map
- add Zone::color() to network message

TODO
- mechanism to request zone map content in multiplayer games
- do not delete client-side ShowOnMap entities in multiplayer games
- show jumpgate links on the galactic map (this requires engine infrastructure)
- mechanism to show only visited places
- map zoom

Shaders need a way to enable different OpenGL blending modes, like Quake 3's "blendFunc". This will allow special effects like light beams and 3d exhaust effects.

DONE
- blenfunc none
- blendunc add
- blendfunc blend

TODO
- blendfuncGL_SOMETHING GL_SOMETHING
- blendfunc filter?
