Instead, I've made it flicker out of existence on a second-long timer.
This is the *absolute* last in-game thing I'm doing before the original freeze deadline. Hardcoding and menu pokes are all that remain of my code development...
* 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)
* Fixed the conditionals for `suicide` and `retry` commands - `suicide` is now allowed in singleplayer, and `retry` no longer checks your lives (for now).
* Disable the "traditional" level reload method (which `retry` tried to use), since it was completely broken with the other changes we've made. Mapchanges only.
* Made retries cause a mapchange, per the above.
* Disable the last source of skincolor trampling in the game - loading a level while not netgame or record attacking.
The Menu Queen is in the house~ ✨
* Magical, single-page player select and general netgamey stuff, while still remaining both pretty and functional.
* Death to NOFOURPLAYER, now that the cat's out the bag.
* Clean up NONET, assuming people try to make DD builds on release.
* Minor tweaks across the board, mostly places where I wanted to pilfer minor code from and realised it wasn't done optimally originally.
Now that we figured out that the sound cut-outs were due to a race condition and not this option, I feel content putting it with these other engine tweaks.
Minor priority change to two voice lines; the "passing someone" line has the same priority as every other line, and gave it's boosted priority to the way more gameplay-important "hit 'em" line.
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.
* Multiplied rain speed by 3, per Oni's request.
* Disable weather density - force to 1 if weather draw distance, otherwise zero
* Move the ceilingpic check into a more convenient part of the weather spawning loop.
* `drawdist_precip_cons_t` - replaces "Infinite" with "None".
* Disable the lowest normal draw distance (256), given... both kart and srb2 are basically unplayable like that.
* Disable cv_drawdist_nights entirely.
I've voided this out on other sound interfaces than SDL Mixer ones because I'm both not sure whether they need it, and not sure how to make them work with it if they do.
- 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.
A value of 1 in freesrc for Mix_LoadWAV_RW and Mix_LoadMus_RW calls SDL_RWclose on the RWops anyway.
For Mix_LoadWAV_RW the RWops is freed right after the data is loaded (because it makes a copy of the data in memory)
For Mix_LoadMUS_RW the RWops is freed when Mix_FreeMusic is called (because the data is not a copy)
So setting 1 on freesrc doesn't actually free the RWops immediately on Mix_LoadMus_RW *unless* it failed to load any music.
Checks for the flag when freeing, and if it's 0, we free the data manually after Mix_FreeChunk.
I went back to Z_Malloc and Z_Free for this because they still work after this.
Also: temporarily cleaned up the M_CanShowLevelInList record attack conditions to automatically match what we want, instead of requiring us to apply a bunch of vanilla flags just to emulate our "available unless explicitly hidden" MP mechanism like is currently in maps.kart.
* Add the customary LUA_CallAction call to A_GrenadeRing.
* Revamp A_MineExplode into using a blockmap iterator. Having tested it it might be less laggy in some situations, but I think the drawing is causing the bulk of the problems here.
* Re-order the conditions within it such that it quickly checks for shootability and absence of scenery BEFORE it performs the more costly range or parentage checks.
* Make its explosion radius take mapscale into account. (This is the only off-topic change made in this branch. I have made it here because half of this commit, which doing the other half in a seperate branch would conflict with, is on-topic.)

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.

2D mode? In a kart racer? :nick:
In offline splitscreen it should now always pick the win theme (the one that's timed with the signpost), and in online splitscreen it should now pick the best ranked local player (previously it'd always play the OK theme, unless if you time over'd)
Will also be extremely relevant for SMK-style cooperative grand prix!
Also, some camera tweaks:
* Force chasecam when exiting, just like it's forced when you're dead and not a spectator.
* Force a horizontal camera angle aiming when spectator and dead, to avoid skybox bugs.
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)
You can now remap Change Viewpoint, Screenshot, and Toggle GIF Recording to other keys, mainly for gamepads
They also pushed me to my breaking point and I couldn't tolerate the control menu anymore, thanks to toaster for the scrolling backport
- Change from "v1.4.8" to "v1.0.0"
- Remove the random additional "DevEXE" moniker outside of DEVELOP mode
- For some reason, the version number of "1.4.8" was also set separately in DEVELOP mode, even though in vanilla it's intended to always be 0. Changed this back.
TODO (*after* feature freeze):
- Request and update MODID
- Undef DEVELOP mode
* Revamp the saycmd colour list to take advantage of them. Peach and Purple are used the least...
* In all of the string drawers, replace colormap only when charflags changes.
* Add V_SKYMAP to dehacked.c alongside the above (oversight from when I added it yonks ago...)
Also, thank you for reminding me, Sryder - disable my very, very limited progress on encore mode in openGL so that stages aren't an unintended hodgepodge of different colourschemes for the objects versus the level environment.
- 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
Squares the colors to get nicer looking results (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKnqECcg6Gw), as well as only blending a small chunk of the skincolor to prevent desaturation from the brightest/darkest values.
* Mixer code has been in mixer_sound.c; this file is not invoked unless compiling with NOMIXER=1
* Remove everything under #ifdef HAVE_MIXER because this is never triggered
* Comment out #ifdef HAVE_LIBGME because we don't support playing music anyway (but theoretically, it could have worked separately from Mixer)
* Stub new music calls
* Stop-gap for now. Ideally the logic would be in the respective places.

Use > 90 && < 270 instead of >= 90 && <= 270. Fixes a bug where if you fly directly up (flyangle 90) or directly down (flyangle 270), that registers as a backwards direction, so you trigger the loop detection by flying BACKWARDS, not FORWARDS. This edge case (only possible via JUMPTOAXIS) should default to FORWARDS looping.
(cherry picked from commit ce215195f89bf52e5c2e2ddd7d5444685edf835d)
* 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.
* Replaces the CZ64-era hopping Mario guys.
* ~50% randomised colours!
* 1/9 are FANS!
* On mapload, some Chao select a random player in the server (even spectators) as their idol.
* The fans cheer for their idol when they cross the finish line in a winning position!
* They also sob when their idol loses.
* The remaining percentage are the canon Aqua.
* Minor on-field spikeball/fake radius alterations requested by Oni.
* 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.
With that, I moved R_CreateColormap2's exclusive software colormap malloc code to R_CreateColormap, and merged the two software-only blocks of code into one. I also disabled any unneeded variables and fixed a preprocessor-related goofup
* Some visual ordering fixes for the item menu, plus a #define-toggleable option for the bottom right slot to be traversable for ease-of-use purposes (even if it doesn't do anything).
* 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.
Sink would only spawn its trail ever if you threw it on a tic that was (leveltime % 4 == 0), because it called its action every 4 tics instead of every tic
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
- Fixed remaining instances where camera position would scale with the player instead of the level; the camera should almost 100% certainly not change now when you get Grown/Shrunk
- Reset camera when switching viewpoint, to make it not look *as* weird when switching after you've finished (needs tested)
* Change `MM:SS.MS` to `MM'SS"MS' to match all other recorded instances of time in-game.
* Add a full stop to NO CONTEST to scrounge up an extra four pixels to match the increased width of above.
* Make it such that the number of players per column will never be desynced with future code changes by tying it to a local #define.
* Other minor code improvements.
1.) Instead of prioritizing best angle above all else, it averages both distance and angle to figure out which is the best overall target.
2.) Jawz will completely cut out angles higher than 45 degrees, preventing instances where someone behind you is considered a better target than who you're looking at.
3.) Jawz does the 45 degree angle checking in Race as well, meaning that they will ignore racers that are neck & neck with you, even if they're technically the next place above you, so that Jawz doesn't take a hard left into a wall.
* 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.
* Make the I_Errors in filesrch.c more descriptive.
* Fix up the loading of sounds.kart such that it has SOME protection against being loaded with game-modifying lumps.
* SERIOUSLY fix up the MD5/mainwads++ section in D_SRB2Main, since 1) I broke it and 2) it was already a little broken in the first place but we just didn't notice it because #ifndef DEVELOP.
1.) I mixed it up, so opponent win/lose quotes would play globally instead of your own
2.) You can't even play skin-specific sounds globally, so it'd always be Sonic
- 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
Also features jittering of the intermission elements because I thought it'd be fun, plus some better handling of players leaving (and then new ones joining) mid-intermission.
* Make MT_GHOST's encoremapping depend on whether the source was encoremapped.
* Revamp how sector typegroup 2, type 15 inverts the encoremapping (so planes don't get awkwardly desynchronised).
* V_DrawFixedPatch and ilk:
* Change the offset of V_FLIP so it's not one screen-pixel off where its non-flipped sprite would have started being drawn from.
* Write to x and y as well as desttop so that anti-screen-overflow checks later in the function behave properly with non-green resolutions.
* V_DrawFill:
* Reduce number of operations performed upon `c`.
* V_DrawString and ilk:
* Offset the left and right boundary checks in non-green resolutions such that you can actually draw stuff to the left of basevid screen x coordinate 0.
* Stop orphaning their memory. They ARE PU_LEVEL, so they'll disappear eventually, but, like... it's not good memory management practice to just *orphan* them when you're literally never going to do anything with them ever again. Y'know?
* Make ghosts spawn properly on slopes.
* Fix that thing where ALL transparent FOF planes were continuously fullbright unless encased in a fog which disables sprite fullbrightness, which was long-hated by many people in the community!
* For backwards compatibility, setting flag 1 in that fog field (which is probably the most common "in-the-wild" usage of this feature) will continue to make objects un-fullbright.
* For situations where you desperately want the behaviour to be enabled, you can apply fog flag 2.
* Change the fadestart and fadeend range in which colormaps are generated.
* The problem HERE was that the darkest light level reached by generated colormaps was actually slightly brighter than the darkest level reached by normal colormaps.
* The typo I fixed does have SOME basis in fact - standard colormap lumps are 34 (33 in 0-indexing) long rather than 32 (31), but whoever wrote this didn't realise that the code for generating them didn't do it DooM style, just bright-to-dark with no extras on the end...
* 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.
* The tab and intermissions rankings...
* ...now have parity in behaviour!
* ...now properly handle player counts over 8, and no longer supports player counts over 16!
* The Item Arrow in Battle...
* No longer develops any extremely stupid bugs due to Orbinaut sprites that makes all objects in state S_INVISIBLE develop <!>'s! (Ask me about this if you're curious as to how it affected everything else too.)
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).
* Flashing Eggman-hit players.
* Fix typo with Rocket Shoe item bar, and make it extensible for potential future purposes since I was fiddling with it anyways.
* More complete playerarrow visuals for various items.
* Eggman fake (and debug) item get sounds.
* Correct a typo on Sal's part that meant flashingtics would continually grow larger and larger, slowly drifting between different clients.
* A more robust eggmanblame system.
* A better representation of an Encore level, now with inverted graphics (a special remapping we can now use elsewhere whenever if we want!) and a floating Ruby!
* Decouple encore's setting from cv_kartencore on mapload. Instead, bake it into D_MapChange and related, which will only some of the time be fed by cv_kartencore's value.
* Encore mode now has a special mapheader palette setting, "encorepal", rather than using the same one as non-encore.
* HOWEVER, we should seriously address this again later, because the antialiasing DOES result in some unfortunate bullshit...
* Encoremap maces per Oni's request and Sal's suggestion
* Objects!
* Gone is the arcane, difficult-to-remember list of random flags. Say hello to MF_DONTENCOREMAP!
* Alternatively, if the object has a skincolour applied to it, it isn't encoremapped either. (Useful for ghosts, for example.)
* Sectors!
* The autodetecting of sneaker and spring panels is now much more intelligent, and only avoids remapping the plane(s) the effect is availible upon.
* Sector special group 2 no. 15 is now "Invert Encore Remap". It inverts the above detection.
* Linedefs!
* The "Transfer Line" linedef flag can now also be used to deny Encore remappings on linedef textures.
* Right now it applies to every pixel drawn specifically belonging to that linedef, but if people decide it needs changing, we CAN make it apply to midtextures only (like linedef types 900-910).
* Make unlockables have a "showing" conditionset, for when you're able to see them on the Extras screen.
* A shorter Encore ruby-pulse fade, for when encore mode is already active!
* Correct the thing where it would print "music not found" when digital music is disabled.
* Make the MIDI music rejection text print if MIDI music is found (and digital music is on).
* Steal a point from Ballhog and give to Orbinaut.
* Make it based on the maximum number of bumpers someone has, not the average for everyone.
* Improve the odds a tad if you're Wanted.
* Tweak the score multiplication to give three points for Wanted and two for removing the last bumper (both disabled if you get the hit with a fake item).
* Allow Karma players to drop their Random box.
* These boxes flicker out of existence after 15 seconds.
* Causes a WAIT penalty, too.
* Remove some redundant PF_ATTACKDOWN stuff, given under the conditions the flag would be applied, it has definitely *already* been applied.
This now means:
* Lua strings longer than 1024 chars can now be read properly without awful crashes
* Lua strings with embedded zeros can be written/read without truncating anything (hopefully)
* Make Orbinaut Shields animate at 3 tics per frame, not 1.
* Make dead items flash in and out of visibility.
* Related to above, fix a few circumstances where returning was not properly handled after removing a mobj in mobjthinker.
* Fix an inconsistency in timing re a time over that involves a single person (the number of tics exiting usually takes), versus a time over that involves multiple people (8*TICRATE).
* Barebones preparatory work for F-Zero explosion, since I was futzing around in this already.
* Fix minor additional error in tab rankings.
* Remove FREE PLAY from intermission drawer, per Sal's request.
* Remove "second%s" from the end of the "Start in %d"/"Vote ends in %d" string.
* Rename cv_advancemap's "Off" value to "Same", to make the behaviour clearer.
* Make the "Start in %d" string now begin with cv_advancemap's string (ie, "Vote in %d", "Same in %d", "Random in %d, Next in %d"...
* Place FREE PLAY in a less contentous location.
* Fix comeback timer being incorrectly offset from the center of the screen.
* Prevent vote drawer from nuking itself (visual-wise) at the start of the level fade following it.
* "kartvoices" cvar. Possible values "Never", "Tasteful" (default), and "Meme".
* Added a way to move quickly through the credits, rather than skip them entirely (hold spacebar or down arrow).
* Fix a few mistakes in M_ChangeCvar, some of which I introduced and some of which were weird in the first place.
* Tweak the offset of the arrows that let you know you can modify a cvar by pressing left or right (some via a patch.kart change, but others via tweaking the drawing location).
- Turning dust is spawned in the correct position
- Turning dust sprites are flipped
- Shadows display on the ceiling for flipped objects
- Drift sparks display in the correct position for flipped players
Will continue with item fixes tomorrow
These are both huge boons for gamepad functionality. If we can add a way to add a menu key, then all of the controller requirements for v1 will be covered.
- A new variable, voteclient.loaded, for keeping track of whenever or not voting data has been set up or not. Gets set to true in Y_StartVote, false in Y_UnloadVoteData. This is used to prevent drawing the screen in cases where it would crash, and preventing duplicate Y_EndVote calls.
- The game checks for all spectator when transitioning to vote, to decide whenever or not it should skip it entirely or not.
- Unrelated: made the roulette cheating much more common. Hopefully it's as cheaty as Mario Party now :p
- Banana drag timer resets when placing one, for x3 & x10 bananas
- Banana dragging spawns transulcent dust
- Dragging bananas make them twitch up & down
- Ballhog has explosion + sound on death
- Ballhog shrinks to nothing if it didn't hit anything
- Replaced a Mario sound on Orbinaut
- Fixed Jawz's sound effect
- Fixed Mines not being removed on death pits
"It is only the *results* that remain in this world! All the *actions* you take in a world where time is erased are meaningless!" - Diavolo, Chapter 520
* Decreasing number of writes - now the unchanging gametype is only written once, and both gametypes are written as UINT8s instead of UINT16s.
* Increasing size of buffer to match new threshold.
* Palette remaps.
* Branding.
TODO:
* Doesn't work in GL. (Mostly.) I have SOME ideas on how to tackle this, but...
* Transmaps are broken in Encore for some reason.
* I tried to make in-level colormaps shimmy over, but it didn't quite work, so I commented it out and only semi-fixed it.
* Force map hell if there are two or more non-spectators (ie, same condition as to not be in FREE PLAY) and everyone has selected the RANDOM level slot.
* Unique gasp-and-Shulk-based sounds for both forced and non-forced map hell occourances.
* Activates when there are less than two non-spectators in a netgame.
* Shows flashing text at the bottom of the screen.
* Prevents drawing several UI elements that only make sense with multiple players.
* Prevents matchesplayed being increased.
* Improve the mapreset timer's behaviour.
* Now you get to see the HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER screen as the starting frame of the relevant map transition, since it happens on mapreset being 1 rather than 0.
* Make a bunch of normal gameplay stuff that might've activated unnecessarily during mapreset now not able to.
* Hide some other stuff that might've been visible for no good reason.
* Improve Mirror mode.
* First person now works with it!
* Tweaked the minimap player heads. Although the main section of the automap is mirrored, it feels... wrong to mirror the player head? IDK, you may wish to revert this, but given that everything else is the right way around except for the level itself...* Disable the titlescreen demos, at least until we actually gear up for release and make real ones.
* Disable the titlescreen demos, at least until we actually gear up for release and make real ones.
* Stop respawning spectators when their PF_WANTSTOJOIN request hasn't been processed yet.
* Handle PF_WANTSTOJOIN requests in GS_WAITINGPLAYERS.
* Refactor K_CheckSpectateStatus, and make it so PF_WANTSTOJOIN requests are processed if there's only one player in the server, even if they're on lap 2 or up.
* Make the player entry mechanism in P_SpawnPlayer use the PF_WANTSTOJOIN mechanism so that it can also take advantage of the level refresh mechanism with no extra code.
* NOTE: This does a bad hack in order to not send multiple mapchanges while the joining timer is low! If you can think of a better way to do this, please let me know/commit it.
* Change the timer until you can hit ITEM again when a spectator who has to wait to join shorter.
* (controversial, but I think necessary) - flash the ITEM text when the above-mentioned timer is nonzero.
- New player flag, PF_WANTSTOJOIN, added for setting up a spectator queue. You are allowed to join as long as no one has started lap 2.
- Map resets when two people have entered the game, so matches can start naturally without the need of an admin.
- Getting wipeout bumped into offroad slows you down
- Orbinaut & Jawz are relative to your weight (Jawz is heavier), via new function K_GetMobjWeight
- Reorangized where K_KartBouncing is called so that wipeout changes don't affect Eggman Items
- You can bump other people during spinout.
- Bumping during spinout activates a "slow down" timer, which increases your friction after a few tics.
- You have a Smash-style dust effect after a spinout bump, indicating clearly if you'll slow down or not.
* Make it two seconds exactly, instead of two and change.
* Draw it in battle too!
* While testing the above, I discovered 3p's karma comeback timer drawing was slightly broken. Fixed that too.
* d_main.c - fix the wipedef for skipping to the titlescreen to be the checkered one again.
* k_kart.c - Tweak drawtime's setting slightly.
* y_inter.c - Make endtic ALWAYS set when not netgame/splitscreen, to prevent an undesirable, possible hang whenever we add more stuff later.
* Combine three basically-identical functions into a generic framework function that takes a function pointer for the purposes of comparison!
* Y_CalculateMatchData handles the (re)calculation of data.match whenever necessary.
* Y_CompareRace handles time comparisons for Race.
* Y_CompareBattle handles score comparisons for Battle.
* Y_CompareRank handles rank comparisons for both gametypes.
* Move the recalculation for the rankingsmode to a different, non-drawing function.
* Re-organise Y_Ticker for sanity purposes.
* Tweak the countdown timer on both intermission and vote screens.
* Per Sal's request, remove all commented out code that was just inhereted from vanilla (or is unlikely to ever be re-enabled again if it was written for Kart) in y_inter.c.
What the heck does THAT supposed to mean, I hear you ask? Well...
- Mashing for items' effect on chances is now relative to how fast you pressed it! I'll give a more detailed explanation in #main_kart_dev.
- Instead of coding the Auto Frantic Items setting like I said I would, I did the same effect in a completely different way! Odds will automatically get better depending on how many players below 5 there are.
Instead of comparing k_growshrinktimer in awkward ways, just make sure the squishing player's scale is high enough above the victim's scale. This way, we can allow shrunk players to bump other shrunk players, and grown players to bump other grown players.
- Further divide the 2 screens' functionality; the first screen is purely for match results, the second screen is purely for rank results. (only time/score is on the first page, only rank and rank increase is on the second page, instead of time/score and rank increase being on the first page, then rank increase carries over to the rank page...)
- The page switch now happens at exactly the halfway point of the intermission timer
- It now uses a cool picture of the view buffer, like SRB2 SP, except faded, instead of the previous intermission tile.
- Fixed an issue with the previous commit.
* Made Got_Teamchange's level-based stuff only happen in GS_LEVEL.
* If, by chance, DoTimeOver gets called on a player without an object, it won't crash either.
* Make ending music play when you get time overed.
* Make changing-to-spectators get removed from the intermission drawer.
* Fix both cv_timelimit and cv_pointlimit as "hidden options" for people to play with if they know about them via the console.
* Show GAME SPEED on the tab screen.
* Fix Invincibility and Grow's music changes being broken. (I didn't test them properly when making them P_RestoreMusic calls, sorry.)
* Stop showing the First Person Kart view in spectator mode, per Sal's request.
* Have the entire thing slide the fuck away a short while into the intermission.
* The tab screen is modified to work off similar behaviour and presentation.
* To go with it, a revamp of how Battle's scoring is handled.
* It's now considered "hits", and is stored in a reuse in one of the vanilla NiGHTS variables, allowing it to use exactly the same ranking mechanisms as race.
* No more resetting of score between battle rounds.
* Minor, unrelated general code cleanup in places.
* Disable the YEEEAH in splitscreen, otherwise you'll hear it *all the time*.
* Time overs now supported, see below.
* Ties now supported!
* Code cleaned up.
* Play more sonicy tally sounds when counting your points.
* A bunch of time over related stuff!
* Exitlevel time overs everyone, which means no points for you.
* F-Zero-sorta-maybe style death if you're the last person on the course (and not the ONLY one) when someone crosses the finish line! (Or switches to spectator.)
* A bunch of music related stuff!
* Functionally reverted many of my changes to splitscreen and ending music, although the major changes to simplify music code are still kept.
* P_EndingMusic is genericised across gametypes, and only switches a single letter (and looping-ness) now!
* Fix exitlevel in race causing whatever you're listening to to keep playing.
* Make powerups call P_RestoreMusic.
* Put a call to P_EndingMusic into P_RestoreMusic.
* Unrelated crap.
* Make all palette swaps happen at the black point of fades, so they don't stick around awkwardly.
* Huh, I thought I did more than that. Oh well!
* Deaths in record attack no longer put you into a glitchy singleplayer game-over state that we somehow both kept around and also broke since we branched Kart off of Vanilla..
* Fix non-standard mapscales making the Death Egg respawn octagons dissasemble themselves.
* Allow for MULTIPLE TIME EMBLEMS PER MAP, at least in the emblem UI on the timer. It shows all completed emblems plus the uncompleted emblem up to a total of three.
* Major tweaks to the First Person HUD.
* I know this was your baby, Sal, and some of the changes may prove controversial - so I've put the ones that are likely to cause the most fuss inside an ifndef block, so that you can toggle it as you please with minimal code changes.
* Dontdraw-ness, transparency, and colorization match the player's object!
* Moves around on the screen with respect to the direction of the player object's motion, to make drifting look nicer!
* Flashes the colour of your drift sparks.
* Did a WHOLE bunch of things with respect to music. I'm not sure how to describe this, so I'll go through step-by-step.
* Countdowns now play the drowning music again.
* Removed/disabled extraenous P_RestoreMusics.
* Made map-ending music called by its own function, P_EndingMusic(player_t *player).
* Made the ending music play on the LAST player crossing the finishing line in splitscreen, rather than first.
* Make dead players spinout and clip through the floor, at least until we add the new death anims.
* Fix prior pogo spring usage making dead players fall faster.
* Make the time over countdown use the kart font when not splitscreen with 3 or 4 players.
* Removed a weird bonus HWR_DrawCroppedPatch function signature in the hardware header.
* Record Attack Input display!
* Show Record Attack emblem and emblem time on the HUD! Changes colours with the player, just like vanilla internal's.
* Remove the ugly dark blue box on the singleplayer (including pause screen) whose only purpose in Kart was to contain the Record Attack emblem info!
* Unrelated shit!
* Improve loading Kart HUD graphics.
* Fix mirrored HUD graphics being one screen pixel (not basevid pixel) offset.
- Spring panels have a higher minimum forward speed, and you can no longer drop below that speed.
- New, separate type of spring panel that has a maximum speed cap, for small jumps.
- Unrelated: The SMK Donut Plains bushes now have much less thinker overhead.
- Unrelated: Fixed my earlier attempt at getting momentum redirect to work when you just hit the ground.
- Don't decrease spinout when boosting
- Don't increase banana dragging when in the air or if you're not moving (Not sure about this one, just thought that this would feel better than it always increasing once we add the visual effect)
- Play a sound for banana dragging
- Correct finish line sounds
