The overlay object now has a hitbox which handles all of the item giving/bombing code, and no longer takes up the player's tracer. This is to give them a bigger hitbox without any bad side-effects of changing the player's hitbox directly (shadow size). Should make bombing more useful, and just sliiiightly less missed high-fives from items.
It now does its job properly: repairing races when there is one straggler far in the back.
- Wipeout instead of spinout, to prevent cheap deaths
- Lose all of your items when you get shrunk.
- You cannot pick up any items while shrunk.
- x2 duration.
- Appears in the very back, with 10% chance.
- Fix merge issues
- Update invincibility flash to use its own object instead of MT_OVERLAY, so extra hacks don't need baked into overlay thinking
- K_SpawnSparkleTrail can accept mobjs now, since there really wasn't any reason it needed a player.
- Comment out a few old MK/vanilla SRB2 effects for now
Instead of returning at the very start of P_MoveChaseCamera, just set camstill to true, and add another exiting check to momentum. This lets the mirror mode post process effect to continue working.
Removed Magnet item box pulling code. It's a mess, hacky, doesn't really help in races, and breaks things. We will implement something new for it soon.
Should make it a lot easier to add more gametypes later.
Also some minor fixes:
- Changed up how shell speed scales in mobjscale juuuust slightly, so
it's less messy
- Fixed CHECK showing spectators
- Menus now have all of the Kart cvars
- Removed any cvars that aren't useful for Kart from the menu (they
still exist in the console, though)
- Removed SP and NiGHTS Mode options from the main menu
- "kartcc" is renamed "kartspeed", uses values 0-2 instead of multiples
of 50, or the terms "Relaxed", "Standard", and "Turbo"
- Many gametype options (game speed, frantic, mirror, & karma comeback)
are now changed on map load instead of instantly
- New cvar, "kartminimap", for disabling the minimap
- The maxplayers cvar now actually matches up with our 16 player limit
- Game now keeps track of matches played. Has a condition type
associated with it, as well.
- Game checks for unlocks and saves gamedata when finishing a match,
even in MP
- Removed most of the normal emblems, added a single emblem for Green
Hills. Didn't know what to do with extra emblems and such so I just left
them (FOR NOW c:<)
- MT_FALLINGROCK bumps you instead of spinning you out! RIP annoying af apples
- Made some Battle-related messages only happen in netgames
- Messed with the timing on the intro

- Using goldshroom removes some of its timer again
- Karma item boxes follow the player more closely
- "ATTACK OR PROTECT" no longer appears when you die if you've already
seen it
- Lua support for our SOC actions
- Fixed KARTSTUFF_LIST for Lua/SOC
- "Battle" is now an accepted word in level headers for setting
TOL_MATCH
- Default map numlaps is now 3 instead of 4
- Reverted making LF2_RECORDATTACK and LF2_NOVISITNEEDED default menu
flags, needs to be set manually now
- Fixed position numbers; orders by balloons first then points (before
it was doing it the other way around), and the leading players should
never display as like 3 or something if there's ties :v
- Messed with Boo & Feather frequencies to be less common in Battle
- Fixed the issue when a karma bomb steals a balloon from one of the two
last people standing, kills them, and comes back, and the game ends
anyway, giving two players the "win" bonus
- Removed karma items being able to pass their items to other karma
bombs. This never worked correctly in the first place, and I'm 95% sure
it's what's been causing people to be ghosts forever
- Enemies can no longer award points
- You should no longer get karma for "bombing" someone during their
invincibility frames
- Red shells have slightly more friction in Battle
- Comeback players are now 1 speed with -20 friction
- Bombing gives 2 karma now
- Item players should no longer be able to be hit
- Attempted to fix instances of trying to bomb someone while they can't
be touched causing you to lose all your karma and start a console
message saying you're back in the game, despite not rewarding a balloon
- Fixed a few places where kartspeed & kartweight were being read as
fixed point numbers, despite being UINT8's
- Fixed up kartstuff Lua support more, functions properly now
- Comeback timer is now always 10 seconds instead of scaling

- 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
- You can now choose to carry an item to someone instead of bombing
- You need to bomb someone or give an item a combined total of three
times in order to come back.
- Bombing somone gives 2 points while giving items doesn't award you any
points.

for people who have won and are in 1st place!
- Flashing players can no longer eat items
- Fixed kartstarsfx playing the alarm in conjunction with music
- Fixed some items no longer causing wipeout
- Bomb overlay is invisible during comeback timer, and flickers back in

people out in Race using a mushroom)
