Spacemap for Screenreader.

Hi all!

Thanks to the valuable input of the VI community, today we launch a version of the Spacemap designed for use by VI players in conjunction with client-side sound triggers. To use it, you must CONFIG SCREENREADERSPACEMAP ON. It is off by default, even if you have CONFIG SCREENREADER ON, because this may not be for all VI players.

We have also appended the output of SHIP PATH SCAN to the end of SHIP BEACON. You can still use SHIP PATH SCAN by itself if you wish, in that case its balance cost has been reduced from 3 seconds to 1 second.

The Spacemap for Screenreaders is designed to disambiguate everything that you might encounter in space and strips away extraneous characters from the background. No more confusing characters like what appeared to be a space cargo attached to Cosmpiercers! HELP SCREENREADERSPACEMAP contains a full legend.

Note that you do not need to have CONFIG SCREENREADER ON to use the Screenreader Spacemap.

Regards,
Neritus
