This post is basically just a checklist for myself / Nepster of what things remain to implement support for in the new-formats version (currently not publicly released). For now, this is only focused on features that exist in the current versions; features that are to be added specifically for new-formats will mostly come later (though some are already included as a direct result of the format change; eg. there's no longer a 16 character limit on graphic set / music filenames).

Just to be clear to everyone: This does NOT mean these features are being culled. Just that they aren't working properly in the current source code, and that we ideally need to restore them before even a public experimental, let alone a stable, new-formats build can be released.

Nepster: I don't mind taking care of all of these things, but if you do any of them, please strike them off this list. Likewise, if you find any others, please add them.

Missing features
- Custom menu graphics (Support restored in 578b1bc)
- Custom postview texts (Support restored in 19ed5d9)
- Pre/post level texts (Support restored in b920e46)
- Custom music rotation lists (Support restored in a9fbc66)
- Mass replay checker (Support restored in 439a7e7)
- Save system integration with new level system (Support restored at some point, forgot to update topic)
- Testplay / single level modes (Support restored at some point, forgot to update topic)
- Talisman support (Support partially restored in b57929f; tracked correctly in memory / savedata but are not yet displayed in any way)
- Talisman list display
- Custom texts on title screen
- In-game graphic set downloading
- Mass image dumping

Missing tools
- Level pack conversion tool
- New-formats equivalent to Flexi Toolkit
- New-formats equivalent to GSTool
