Summary0001118: MAPINFO: Allow f1 property to default to infopage(s) when an empty string is specified
DescriptionIn the current implementation of the Mapinfo "f1" property/feature, it only allows the use of one graphic to show the help screen. However, for bigger mods, like WhoDunIt, multiple pages proves to be extremely useful, but f1 does not allow this if the property is used.

What I suggest is, if one sets "f1" to a blank string (ex. f1 = ""), then pressing f1 will use the infopage property (and all associated pages/graphics with it) instead. This will allow one to set an infopage in the gameinfo, and perhaps use defaultmap to override and allow f1 to show said infopages in any map. Or vice versa, and have the f1 property hide the infopages on specific maps.

 Does zdoom do this?
Not that I'm saying this will be 'no'd' if they don't.

 ZDoom doesn't necessarily use the f1 feature SkullTag added. Support for this sort of thing was added in to ZDoom later via the gameinfo block. So it's kind of a gray area, but since the f1 is more SkullTag/Zan specific, and this issue only occurs during online play, I don't see why we can't extend it to fix this.

 Another thing I should mention is that, if you don't specify your own F1 image in the current release build, then the default shows up. So for instance, in WDI, even though we made a set of info pages of our own, pressing f1 while playing online will show SkullTag's "Survival" help page. I tried to override this in the mapinfo but the f1 property only allows 1 graphic specified, and not multiple pages ala 'infopage' property.

I haven't tested this with the beta but I have no reason to believe it's any different at the moment.

 I'm going to post another comment because I've gotten around to testing the behavior with Zan 2.0 in an online server.

It seems it was fixed at some point or another, as now when I use F1 online in WDI, all the infopages show as intended and the 'Survival' instruction page does not show up/override.

As such, this ticket may be moot point now so close it if you see necessary as the problematic behavior is now gone.

 Good to hear, but I'm left a little baffled. The f1 behavior seems identical in 1.2.2 and 2.0. Does the problem still happen in 1.2.2? EDIT: hrm, re-read the notes, it apparently does? Strange.
