Welcome dialog

terencehill requested to merge terencehill/welcome_dialog_simple into master

Show the welcome message in a nicer and more visible dedicated menu dialog that allows scrolling very long messages.

Since it must be closed manually, it doesn't stay on screen while observing / spectating and can't stay on screen while playing (sometimes it happens due to packet loss). It can be closed very quickly with Space, Enter or Escape, besides the UI buttons.

The Welcome message can still be shown as centerprint message in these situations:

  • Setting cl_welcome_in_menu_dialog to 0

  • In demos since dialogs aren't allowed to show up

  • Connecting with an older Xonotic version

Extra:

Fix broken version check by giving the client time to send its version.
