Because of other G_SaveGameData instances added in the last patch, this cheat can get saved anyway. Since this is just supposed to be convenience for server hosts, we might as well make it work like other console Kart racers and just make it save anyway!

Everything to do with setting states for starposts
In SRB2Kart, starposts are invisble. We don't need to loop through all thinkers just to set their states when there's no visible effect of the state-setting. In addition, it has no consequences for gameplay - starposts have long been silent here, and all checking is done regarding their health, not their state.
Remove extremely low-traffic conditionals (MT_FLINGEMERALD collision height extension, for example)
These objects serve no functional purpose during regular SRB2Kart gameplay. Why should every other object have to pay an admittedly minor performance hit just for them?
Disable all mechanisms of damaging bosses or enemies with the player's physical contact
With the exception of Sapphire Coast, no MF_ENEMY objects exist in the entirety of the standard roster. In addition, the conditions for damaging the enemies were impossible to achieve, because they required vanilla SRB2 mechanics such as "jumping", "spindashing", or "super". Therefore, they can be safely commented out.
Disable NiGHTS-related material (excepting bumper, hoop, and wing-emblem objects)
NiGHTS is fundamentally incompatible with regular kart gameplay and I believe was already broken. Therefore, any mechanism which enters, aids, or abets it can be safely disabled.
Comment out Tag mechanisms
Tag is the only vanilla multiplayer gametype which has sufficient gameplay depth and complexity (HEYOOOOOOOOO) to require dedicated thinking in and of itself in order to manage. This thinking is irrelevant to Kart's functioning, and can be neutered easily.

Disable several devmode commands which are irrelevant to SRB2Kart gameplay
When investigating for references to NiGHTS material, I discovered that these remained untouched. In order to present a more coherent game, I have hidden the ones that serve no purpose for us.

Disable some team-related material
Teams are not present in SRB2Kart at present. Obviously we'd want to reconsider for future, but it doesn't need to be run right now.

Do not run shields
Shield objects are not run under the vanilla system; the Thunder Shield is a domain-specific recreation using a standard mobjthinker.

SRB2Kart does not have special stages.

2D mode? In a kart racer? :nick:
- Secrets renamed to Extras
- Extras leads to the checklist instead of another menu
- Credits & Sound Test are on the Options menu now
- New title screen cheat for unlocking everything ("banana", or "← ↑ → →
↑ ← ↓ → Enter")
No more weapon number buttons, button constants reordered, and BT_JUMP
renamed to BT_DRIFT, and removed a lot of commented out stuff or stuff
we didn't need. Spectator-only support for looking up/down soon.
Keyboard defaults are just what I use, plan on adjusting it further
after more feedback
- Look backward button works
- Increased default cam_speed, from 0.3 to 0.45. This is the highest
value that I think doesn't look overly stiff.
- Removed bobbing in first person
I was trying to do the camera angle thing that we've been talking about
for a while, but I can't get it to work well.
- Record Attack replays now save best lap time
- Removed instances of NiGHTS Attack
- Removed a lot of unlockable that have no use in Kart (ultimate mode,
perfect bonus, score emblems, etc)
- Removed all methods of activating ultimate mode
- Comeback timer is now always 10 seconds instead of scaling
- Takes 10 seconds before exiting
- Flashing tics is doubled in Battle Mode
- Removed a bunch of bomb nerfs
- Bombs are back to making only 1 point per hit
- Exposed K_GetKartAccel & K_GetKartFlashing to Lua
- Item boxes should no longer drop while going up slopes
- Trading item boxes with a bomb should turn you back into a bomb
- Balloons should no longer all respawn when dying in pits in 2-player
games
- Flashing players are able to kill *thrown* shells again (shields and
trap items are still unkillable). Prevents red shells from being able to
stick to a flashing player and hurt them again as soon as they're done
flashing
- CHECK appears at a farther distance
Also, the "teleport" devmode command can now gracefully handle coordinates specified outside maps with no/few thok barriers, which previously prevented teleport via the thok barrier bleed's sector floor and ceiling being equal.
Slope fixes
This branch fixes the following slope-related physics and rendering bugs:
* Rings in multiplayer stages respawning inside slopes (even despite being able to spawn ABOVE them on map load)
* Player starts spawning players inside slopes
* Elemental flame trails not appearing if a player spindashes UP a slope; see issue #21
* Dying players "jumping" off slopes to the side if they were previously standing on one
* Some issues with FOF slope rendering
* Various issues with sprites displaying through walls adjacent to slopes
Other features added:
* Objectplace now supports slopes (this is Inuyasha's doing)
* Automap in DEVMODE now supports slopes (my doing)
Just making this merge request now rather than later, ~~in case I decide not to make any more fixes for the time being~~ (this branch doesn't seem to want to die lol), and so we can get these merged in as soon as the code's all been checked over.
See merge request !50
P_RandomChance is now a macro for something that should happen a
certain percentage of time.
P_SignedRandom was moved to a macro. Nobody cared.
# Conflicts:
# src/p_inter.c
Objectplace reallocates the mapthings list to add one more mapthing. By itself there's no problem with this.
But, mobj->spawnpoint is a pointer to the mapthing's location in the mapthings list.
So by reallocating the mapthings list, all references to mobj->spawnpoints point to freed memory.
... Oops.
Now when objectplace reallocates the mapthings list it actually corrects the locations of all mobj's spawnpoints to point to the new list.
Hooray, you can use NiGHTS objectplace again if you really want to.
Access the benefits of -debug, console devmode, and a complete gamedata.dat (all secrets unlocked) all in one go.
Moved "#if 0" and "#if 1" to "#ifdef DEVMODE" so the existance of this cheat and MD5 validation and all that can be toggled in one place too.
