This makes it so that if the SPB'd person is passed, then the person who's getting SPB'd won't get the increased item odds for the weird feedback loop.
- Colorize items, Combi-Catcher style, while the roulette is still going. Nice Chaotix reference, and tells you when the game's just lagged.
- Items blink when you first get them! They blink white when you wait out the whole roulette, red when you mash, or rainbow for enhanced items! Blinking prevents items from being stolen too, so items can't be literally stolen before you even have a chance to see what it was.
- New item roulette sound for mashing
- Fix TC_ limits in Lua
- The skin values are now locked between 1 and 9.
- kartspeed & kartweight are no longer locked on skin-switch. Combined with the above, this results in no gameplay change, other than the character select showing the proper value.
- Values used for the engine sounds are locked. No longer can overflow into character voices or freeslotted sounds.
- Removed the overzealous weight locking when in offroad.
If we want to ACTUALLY lock speed/weight for Lua too then we should do that in the Lua stuff.
The Kart Minimap heads I believe should use GTC_CACHE as they're shown in level, only(?) Not using it causes the memory to keep creeping up as more colourmaps are loaded but not freed, while OpenGL by extention endlessly keeps making new textures for the "new" colourmaps.
Specifically: removed K_StripOther calls from touching fakes: No, none of these things need to be stripped! Also, poke K_StripOther just in case it eventually becomes relevant to have it.
* Apply the "YOU ARE THIS PERSON" highlight to all non-splitscreen circumstances that use the tiny player icons. (New locations: Tab rankings, intermission, completed votes.)
* Oni's new 1x Bumpers and Out-Of-Bumpers competition-style 'X'!
* Modify alignment for `GOTITx` emblem drawing to match new Chaos Coin sprites.
* Adjust m_cond.c list to use new Chaos Coin Emblem sprite slots.
Needs tested tonight.
- Grow & Rocket Sneakers are slightly more in the back
- Sneaker x3 gets handed out more in the back-middle
- Removed 5% from Ballhog towards the front
- Removed 5% from Shrink in the forward-most column it was in
After fixing flashing tics not being set properly, 2 seconds of being fully stopped and then another 1.5 seconds minimum of being unable to be hit just feels like an eternity :V
* Do that thing where the character icons are ALWAYS 1x sized, through having two seperate lumps.
* Revamp the S_SKIN parameters to be `facerank` (rankings - equivalent of half-scale old face), `facewant` (WANTED - equivalent of old face), and `facemmap` (equivalent of old iconprefix).
* Do that thing Oni wanted where it shows two postions above and two positions below your current ranking (and you) to the left of the screen, instead of always the top 4, with some limits to avoid drawing outside of everything.
* Replace the last few shitty Mario numbers (for the left rankings) with cool, new Oni numbers.
* Change a bunch of offsets and things so the tab rankings and the intermission work nicer with 9+ players.
* Make the white intro fade always drawn, rather than potentially disable-able through tab or HUD disable.
* Slightly increase the darkness of the intermission fade, since its current value had a negative effect on SKINCOLOR_SAPPHIRE.
Several races in a row with several people getting x2 Jawz in the same spot... sorry Oni, it's BAD. Kept the increase in the further behind spot, we'll see if it's any better
* Change spacing of bustable FOF debris with scale (plus increase its default a bit for less lag).
* Make a few instances of scalespeed take mapheader scaling into account.
* Re-enable the flashing-set thing on attempting to join with the item key. I spoke to Sal privately about this - turns out some keys ALWAYS send key presses instead of only sending one, and shift - what I have item bound to - is one of the problematic ones.
* Make the no-joining-game-after-20-seconds thing happen 20 seconds after the TIMER has started, not the level (ie, take starttime into account)
If the player count dips below what was stored on the start of the last lap, then don't do time over so that someone can't just spectate at the end of a race out of rage. Y'all are assholes :V
A couple of the extraneous ones (karma interactions, bumper stealing, lap start notifications) have been removed outright. The rest that I could think of have been changed to use CON_LogMessage, so that they still go into log.txt when rereading a fun chat session but not showing themselves in gameplay. Necessary gameplay prints, such as players being defeated or coming back in Battle, have been kept until there's a suitable replacement for them in the future.
- Rocket sneaker meter depletes more slowly when idle, but depletes much more when using it. This balances out to give it a couple more boosts when you use it well, but allows you to waste it more quickly when you don't want it anymore. Also demonstrates better to new players to not spam it like a gold shroom!
- Vibrating frames on sneakers when they aren't being used.
- Shoe weight is less strong.
(I've moved the comebacktimer set into one level up from that conditional; don't worry, I checked - there's nowhere that accesses this field while you have bumpers, it's just always set here for some dastardly reason.)
- Volume of your own engine is lower than default
- Engine sounds get quieter with more people around, ala SMK. 16 player servers should hopefully not be loud as fuck :V
- Starting countdown and drop dash revs up your engine now
- Doubled sound distance
Also includes some adjustments to:
* Horizontal offset of Eggman countdown in splitscreen again. It's not perfectly centered either way, but on second thought I like this better.
* Sound of Lat`'s Mine/SPB explosions - now uses same sound as Karma bombing, instead of that shitty paraloop.
* Correctly wipe k_eggmanblame when it is appropriate to do so.
Example:
Chrome has been kicked (Go away)
Shadow has left the game (Joined with Chrome)
Kryne has left the game (Joined with Chrome)
Vyce has left the game (Joined with Chrome)
- Renamed Grey to Nickel, and Cloudy to Grey
- Updated Silver and Nickel to look a teeensy bit more inbetween White/Grey and Grey/Black, previously they both leaned more toward Grey
- Drastically changed Navy to be more distinct from Jet
- Replaced Indigo with Pomegranate
- Moved certain colors around to match (most notably, beiges and browns are in their own little sub-section after the greyscale colors, instead of being lumped in the middle of orange and yellow)
- Updated color opposite table to match
* Slightly bigger visual size!
* Light-shadow!
* Makes player fullbright if you have it!
* Visuals finally removed instantly on shield drop!
* Uses dark background for item icons!
* Goes behind the player on some frames, faking layering!
Try to make all the blues using this range look a little different, you know?
- Cyan is brighter, and has more contrast.
- Teal has 1 more shade of blue for slightly better anti-aliasing.
- Renamed Ivory to White, removed Nickel and old White, and improved Silver and Grey.
- Improved Pink & Ruby.
- Added Ketchup, replaced Canary with Mustard.
- Removed Army.
* Add `kartvoterulechanges`, or "Voting Rule Changes" on the menu, to allow some user control over event frequency.
* "Never" - does what it says on the tin.
* "Sometimes" - 1/8 chance of Encore if host has unlocked it, only gametype change when buffer is full
* "Frequent" - 1/2 chance of Encore if host has unlocked it, gametype change every 5 maps
* "Always" - If host has unlocked Encore, alternates between Encore and Gametype. Otherwise, always a gametype change
* There's probably room for a setting between "Sometimes" and "Frequent", but I didn't want to overload the host with options and these were the ones that made sense.
* Better handling of buffer refreshes, to prevent two of the same map appearing next to each other in the voting unless there literally aren't that many maps.
* Mostly unrelated: Minor bugfix for Y_SetupVoteFinish, preventing music changes/random sounds playing on the You Will Join Next Race screen. (Branch-appropriate, at least.)
- Keep items on death, as long as you haven't used them yet.
- Restart the item roulette on spawn if you die during it.
- Held items that take up your item box now flash, to be consistent with Rocket Sneaker and Grow.
New respawn boost behavior, where you just hold for long enough instead of timing it with hitting the ground. Also much weaker, just gives you enough boost to get going instead of being a free sneaker.
Start boosts have been severely changed. The perfect one has an extra tic on its timing window and gets Sneaker boosting special effects, but every other possible boost has been severely nerfed.
* Shield Drop...
* Whatever you've got orbiting or trailing you, DROP THEM WHERE THEY STAND. (Except for the ghost sink. That one's OK.)
* Pops your Thunder Shield.
* Happens upon ANY hit, except for deathpits.
* HUD Drop...
* Also does the above, except for the Thunder Shield thing.
* If there's any item left in your item box, pop it out as a little hovering, rotating Minecraft item!
* You can pick up the Minecraft item by driving over it if your item box is sufficiently empty, or the item which is contained within it is of the same type.
* Happens upon Size Down and battle elimination.
* Can also be forced on with `cv_kartdebughuddrop on`!
* Some other random stuff.
* Fix a bunch of `a->scale = b`'s into `P_SetScale(a, b)` form, for maximum validity.
* Make K_CleanHnextList and K_UpdateHnextList one function, since they only differed by one continue clause (and the type of their input parameter).
* Allow shrunken players to pick up item boxes again.
* Fix MF_NOCLIPTHING. (Gonna pass this fix to vanilla when I get the chance, too.)
* Break NiGHTS a little through my machinations.
A lot more similar to the code used for player wall bumping, and is much less likely for you to just... pass through the object if you keep trying hard enough.
Also, falling rocks get pushed aside by invinicible players with no resistance.
Sink shield that makes it double-press to use, gives the trailing item slowdown, and shows other people that you have it, but doesn't have any collision
* Uses the in-game timer element to draw its times.
* This includes showing them time emblems-to-get!
* good night sweet prince
* Make the emblem time use the same ' and " as the normal time.
- Following Oni's proposal. This means taunts are split into 2 types for offensive items and boost, 2 less hurt sounds, and there's another clip for using invincibility item (or whatever other powerful items we want to apply it to later; maybe size-down?)
- Win/lose quotes are played at full volume for the person who said it.
- A new sound effect plays when you hit someone with voices disabled.
- Reduce amount of RNG being called from the vanilla P_Play[whatever]Sound functions
- Added our skin sound constants to the dehacked list.
- Unrelated: finish line sfx plays in splitscreen
- different min/max on capped spring pads
- turn the normally almost-useless "non-ramp sector" type into "wall sector", which disables both stepup AND stepdown instead of just stepdown
Less grow, less invinc, less ballhog, just a teensy bit less triple orbinaut, and SPB odds no longer scale with lower player counts like other power items do
* They're clearly not quick enough at the job, since it causes a bunch of silly race conditions.
* Instead, K_UpdateHnextList and K_CleanHnextList are in charge of removing them, which are called in the circumstances itemamount (and itemheld/eggmanheld) is changed.
* Also, tweak a few places so that trailers AND orbiters can use the same system.
Also, some minor thingies.
* Turn all the useless ```if (a) { A } else if (!a) { B }``` bullshit into ```if (a) { A } else { B }``` bullshit.
* Fix up some minor inaccuracies in the playerarrow stuff that doesn't result in creating more sprites.
While I cannot guarantee the class of glitches that allows for additional items to be thrown/dropped has been completely obliterated, this DOES prevent the class of exploits that allows for "infinite items" (really just negative quantities not completely bounds-checked for).
