When they get close their top speed starts to decrease to the player's current speed.
Movement direction ends up being adjusted in A_RedShellChase where it Thrusts towards the player at its acceleration speed.
To-Do:
- fix demo desync (desync is only super noticeable on slopes, but a
message pops up when the player starts moving regardless)
- fix ghosts not appearing
- replace that dumb level tally
- remove a bunch of things that made the assumption that race & record
attack would never mix (ex: "next map x doesn't support race mode, using
map y anyway" message)
- Rarer
- Speed reduced from +25% to +20%
- Getting squished doesn't last as long
= Nerfed the Banana Meta - or at least changed it
- You don't wipeout for as long
- You don't lose as much speed from wiping out (1/2 instead of 1/4)
= Respawning after death is faster
- Lakitu drops you faster, only three floaty sounds instead of four
= Adjusted the camera to the values given by Sev

Lakitu returns from his ironically-not-pillowshaded-cloud grave
Dropboosting works on respawn
Players respawn "automatically after 2 seconds" instead of "*instantaneously* while accel is held"
Fixes with respect to sector special touching and slopes
Some important stuff.
* SF_TRIGGERSPECIAL_TOUCH now actually works. Previously, it abandoned the loop early if ANY bounding sector didn't have that sector flag, which it likely didn't - only checking one extra sector's worth of FOFs. Also, the teleport handling there is more robust, and actually bails out if you teleport, instead of just awkwardly continuing through the loop.
* SF_TRIGGERSPECIAL_TOUCH now works for each time thinkers, too.
* Fixed a bug with being able to go under lava because P_CheckSolidLava doesn't take slopes into account.
* Also, P_CanRunOnWater supports slopes now too.
* Quicksand supports slopes and reverse gravity now.
* Space Countdown supports slopes now.
Also, an experiment behind a #define which currently isn't turned on:
* UNDER A #define, "SECTORSPECIALSAFTERTHINK", WHICH IS CURRENTLY TURNED OFF, BUT I WILL WANT TO TURN ON IN INTERNAL: Moved sector touch handling to P_PlayerAfterThinker (from P_PlayerThinker before movement). Allows for being able to trigger moving slope sectors that are going down, most specifically lava (didn't matter in RVZS in 2.1 because you could clip through the sides and go underneath the lava, causing damage - a sloped testwad version of that prevented going underneath.) Also fixes one-frame standing on deathpits before you die. Basically means sector triggers effectively happen one tic earlier, since it's after movement.

Missiles 'n slopes
Fixed that thing where missiles like sliding up slopes for some reason.
This isn't a 1:1 fix compared to non-slopes - missiles still like stepping up over the borders of sloped sectors and will continue going as long as they never touch that ground again, whereas they can never step up on flat ones - but this fixes the most egregrious issue.

Braking no longer stops on a dime, and instead reduces your speed input. The effect is different between braking and accelerating at the same time, and braking on its own.
Increased 'driftweight' to player->kartweight*14, up from player->kartweight*12.
Changed the base drift curve formula from a range of 447 - 303, to 415 - 303. This will result in a very slightly wider drift arc at low weights. This does not effect the strength of steering while drifting.
Drifting without holding a direction now has a bonus of 0.5 frames, up from 0.
Added kartweight to the required number of drift frames, at half value. Lighter characters take up to 4 additional frames to earn blue sparks, 8 for orange.
-------
Reverted drift timer to 52 + player->kartspeed;
Reduced weight's effect on neutral drifting by 10%
Reduced weight's effect on collision by 50%
*EXPERIMENTAL*: Inverted collision's x and y. This should shunt players to the side instead of bump them forward?
--------
Driftboost formula changed to:
49 + player->kartspeed*2;
(No longer factors weight from previous version)
Collision code now factors character weight for players.
Collision code now only plays the collision sound once, rather than per player.
Weight now factors into drifting's base value. A heavier character will drift more straight with no input and have less control.
Added a cheat check in SetPlayerSkinByNum(), to force speed and weight within the boundaries of 1 and 9.
Nerfed orange turbo to 50 frames, down from 60.
-------
Changed the drift spark formula from:
51 + player->kartspeed;
To:
43 + player->kartspeed*2 + (10 - player->kartweight);
This allows an extreme heavy/accel to get sparks more often than an extreme light/speed character. Other extremes should be roughly where they were before.
Lakitu is completely commented out currently and we will be able to re-add it back later
Final lap sounds do some wacky stuff with the variables of the local player only, and also block out the music just to restart it at the same speed currently, changed it to just be the lap sound, we can use a new sound for it later
No longer does all the angle adjustments inside of the player thinker and instead does it with the controls
Should hopefully avoid any desynch from drifting
Also maybe fixed player 2's controls
