DECOHACK - ability to define new objects in decohack scripts

[GameMasterPDX]

basically, the ability to define a new type of object to be edited in decohack, ie Level from SRB2's SOC (literally just a dehacked modification) or something. perhaps the formatting could be similar to custom properties and be like
custom object <decohack name> <dehname>
example of usage:

custom object level Level
custom level property levelname Levelname string
custom level property act Act int
custom level property nextlevel NextLevel int

level 1
{
	levelname "Example Hills"
	act 1
	nextlevel 2
}

which will compile into

Level 1
Levelname Example Hills
Act 1
NextLevel 2

you could probably then define properties by using the stand custom properties feature. might go well with the ability to add actual dehacked lines in for cases where decohacked cant do something idk

For my reference: https://www.wiki.srb2.org/wiki/SOC

Not sure how much work it'll take to support something like this. For what it's worth, SOCs seem to use the DeHackEd patch format but there are a few objects that are not exactly header-plus-value-pairs, such as CutScenes (must declare NumScenes and Scene like headers), and pairs that have special handling, like Character.PlayerText (terminated with #).

This may not end up being at all that useful for making an SOC, and depending on other things, may require the creation of a different program altogether, especially since its state data is a little different, too. DECOHack may not be suitable for this sort of thing, in the end.

I'll keep this issue/enhancement around for now, but I can't guarantee this will make it in.

totally understandable! i just wanna not have to manually write soc lol
