* 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.
