* 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.
* 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.
- 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.
* Lots of menu changes!
* Little arrows next to changeable cvars!
* Show default value for sliders!
* Pretty pretty pretty.
* I don't know how to describe some of these changes.
* Effectively nuke MIDI music support!
* Skiddown at the start of a race is more interesting!
* Spinning in waterslides!
* Tiny bugfix in voting, plus a little celebration...
- SPB multiplier depending on 1st-2nd distance
- Removed the Battle-only k_poweritemtimer (hold over from when you could easily get invuln items all of the time), replaced it with a 2 invincibility item cap in ALL modes.
- Spinout is affected by boosters, *properly*
- Can no longer strafe while spinning out on speed bumps
- Messed with how other items interact with speed bumps, again.
- Old bounce code has been ported for non-players
- Fixed Karma players being able to do anything after the round has ended.
- Fixed sneaker and spinout timer weirdness
- Fixed Mines still being hold-use
- Fixed rubber-burn turn not working
- Removed redundant k_spinout and unused k_boosting variables
- Filled out the Color_Opposite table with Kart's new colors. Not really relevant right now (besides some extra Lua functionality) since nothing uses it, but will be nice for if we do the signpost from the sky idea.
- 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.
- cmd->driftturn exists now, for figuring out how far you're turning. Added to prevent analog sticks from being able to get drift sparks faster.
- Feather bounce strafing moved to use cmd->sidemove, which means it also supports analog now.
- Braking now waits a few tics for you to be stopped for a few tics before it lets you go in reverse, as per Sev's request.
- Removed a lot of unused/redundant/commented out control code, and reorganized some of the existing code.
Also move the Bouncy FOF sector special check above the FOF heights checking in P_CheckBouncySectors, because it means not having to waste time calculating FOF heights only for it not to be bouncy anyway :P
Set up similar to NiGHTS Mare linedef executors. Give a sector the "Race
Lap" sector type, tag it, then set the frontside x-offset on the trigger
line to the lap it should activate on minus 1. There are a few flags you
can check on the trigger line to modify its behavior.
- Normally the executor will only trigger if its exactly on the lap
specified. Check Not Climbable to make it execute on laps equal to or
greater than, or check Block Enemies to make it execute on laps equal to
or less than.
- By default, the executor will check current lap with the person in
last's lap. Check E4 to instead find the current lap from the player who
triggered it. This flag is better for triggering events ahead of the
players, while the default effect is better for triggering events behind
the players.
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
Anyone in the top 50% gets winning music & blue position, everyone below
gets the losing music & red position. For odd numbers, it rounds up.
2p: 1st wins, 2nd loses
3p: 1-2 win, 3rd loses
4p: 1-2 win, 3-4 lose
5p: 1-3 win, 4-5 lose
6p: 1-3 win, 4-6 lose
7p: 1-4 win, 5-7 lose
8p: 1-4 win, 5-8 lose (SMK)
12p: 1-6 win, 7-12 lose (modern MK)
16p: 1-8 win, 9-16 lose (max player count)
In big netgames you won't just hear the losing music all of the time now
:V
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
- 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:<)
- MAXSTEPMOVE is affected by mobjscale
- Minimum bump speeds (both wall & object) are affected by mobjscale
- Minimum speed required for drifting is affected by player scale
- Speedometer speeds are proportional to mobjscale
- Camera no longer scales with player scale, to make the fact that
you're either Lightning'd or Mega'd more obvious :V
- Sevvvvvv go work on Dimension Heist
- Added kartmirror cvar, flips the screen & player controls. The
post-processing effect is currently Software only; will need an OpenGL
implementation but I don't know enough to make that happen
- Moved adminplayer = -1 setting to SV_ResetServer instead of
SV_StartServer
- SMK-style wipeout
- 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
- Improve balloon-based items. Much more distinguished differences
between the different ranks
- Reverted Feather strafing. You can now just... properly move in the
air, if you're using a Feather or a Bounce Pad.
- Bounce pads are now stronger while using speed items.
- Fixed the long standing bug about offroad & ziplines working when
you're on FOFs above them. This is a tricky subject, so please report
any issues you may come across related to this.
- Shells should no longer travel to Mars, nor will they when using
bounce pads. They should now do a gentle hop.
- :WIP: new MP Player Setup screen, now shows character stats. Will
later feature the list of characters in a row of icons, and a backported
2.2 color selector with toast's permission
- Renamed "Match" to "Battle" :p
- Yet MORE minor cases where kartspeed & kartweight were being read as
fixed_t when they're freakin' UINT8's, people!
- 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
- 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.
- Position number still flashes after you've won, and it flashes rainbow
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
when it's almost up
- Show comeback timer on HUD
- Feather is stronger & has more gravity
- Option to use SMK star alarm instead of overlapping music
- Using P_MobjDamage normally on players now defaults to normal spinout
instead of shell's instant stop
- Some general gametype case fixes (most notably, being able to spin
people out in Race using a mushroom)
- Comeback timer gets higher the more you get hit
- Your ghost appears over the bomb
- Speed & accel is set to worst while a bomb
- CHECK range scales with kartcc
- Player arrows now show if a player is in the item roulette
- Boo has been improved, and added back to Battle's item roulette
- The CHECK HUD item is now more accurate, and should appear more often
- Early comeback mechanic. Functional, but really unpolished
- Attempted (again) to make the first player to join in a netgame spawn
with balloons
- No longer shows respawn text on death
- Different sizes for the balloons, depending on how many you have
- Balloons are fullbright, cast shadows, and stick closer to players
- Mega Mushrooms can now appear
- Can steal items with Boo in Battle Mode now, as intended
- Death pits make you lose only 1 balloon
- Balloons disappear properly if you use Boo
- Boo item icon should no longer appear if you're out of balloons
- You can now properly respawn in Battle Mode
- Can no longer collide with items if you are already holding one
Basically:
1.) farther camera defaults
2.) different camera settings save
3.) cam_dist automatically increases with splitscreen (& analog mode,
but that's irrelevant for kart :p)
(IIRC someone said that this branch is fine to commit directly to,
please feel free to revert immediately if this isn't the case :V)
- 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"
--------
Fireballs narrower
Fake Item is no longer restricted while held
Held items that are restricted remain in the item wheel until used
Magnet now correctly hits nearby players and objects
-------
Accelcode now factors in forwardmove value rather than a boolean. This is used to enable clutching (or whatever you call it; accel+brake) to give its own result.
Fixed Thwomps killing players rather than crushing them.
Reverted buggy collision experiment from previous version.
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
I believe editing the player data in G_BuildTiccmd will cause desync, especially for anything that would effect gameplay
driftfix didn't seem to do much, will find a way to re-enable looking backwards properly later (probably change one of the buttons, DRIFTLEFT or DRIFRRIGHT?)
Consolidated the turning and drifting values to k_kart functions for easier editing
Removed 200cc. 50/100/150ccs are a weird amalgamation of the prior values.
* Space sector support complete, bounds of drowning now altered slightly.
* Knuckles climb now has symmetrical slope support for both normal and reverse gravity.
* All slope-determining topheight and bottomheight code is now identical in form.
* Camera postimages now support slopes properly.
Moved the handling of P_PlayerInSpecialSector to P_PlayerAfterThink from P_PlayerThink.
* This allows the player to get hurt on sloped lava surfaces that are moving downwards.
* Also prevents the player from standing on death pits for 1 tic.
* Prevents the player moving 1 extra tic's worth of movement of pain when hit by sector.
* Thankfully, no consequences re conveyors.
* Like, the only consequences I've found have been positive. However, this DOES need to be thoroughly investigated before it can be allowed anywhere near Next itself.
(neither does P_CanRunOnWater, but I don't think it's necessary to make that check more complicated as you probably shouldn't be able to waterrun up steep surfaces anyways)
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.
Some slope improvements/fixes (plus P_GetMobjGravity)
Dear Red, I did some things.
* Made the slope flag SL_NOPHYSICS actually have an effect like we wanted to, but didn't get around to implementing yet - activated by setting the slope's linedef flags to have ML_NOSONIC.
* Made downhill slope thrusts proportional to an object's gravity and friction.
* To make the above happen - seperated out the gravity value finding code in P_CheckGravity into a seperate function, P_GetMobjGravity. (p_mobj.c, p_local.h) I also made this function available to Lua.
* Turned those PANIC n console messages (which would inevitably be followed up with a crash, since we're accessing invalid memory immediately after) into a descriptive I_Error.
* Put the SRB2CB type-shimming behind an ESLOPE_TYPESHIM ifdef.
* Removed SPRINGCLEAN-ifdef'd code.
* Cleaned up some eosteric comments.
* NEW SINCE RED +1'd THIS: The teetering code now takes slopes into account pretty well. There are edge circumstances as outlined in commit 9d221f4f3f, but this is unilaterally better behaviour in every way and the teetering code was kind of a mess anyways.
* NEW SINCE RED AND ALAM +1'd THIS: P_ReverseQuantiseMomentumToSlope. Simple function that replaces the inverse angle stuff (which also wasn't using InvAngle, just ANGLE_MAX - angle - which is inaccurate!!)
Current testing files available at /toaster/slptst3.wad and /toaster/gravitytest.lua on the ftp.
I want to do more to the branch like implement SL_ANCHORVERTEX in the near future, but this is probably safe to merge in its current state.
See merge request !77
The whole thing needs a refactor in general, but it's almost 2am here, I need my sleeb, and this fix would probably break something with 2.1 climbing if I made it any more/less (depending on viewpoint) complicated.
Also, the teetering angle on slopes is now FRACUNIT/2 because there's literally no way to stand still on a slope that steep unless it doesn't have physics.
Two interesting points of note:
* The touchspecial sector flag seems to actually do its job now.
* Detection of sectors with polyobjects in seems to have done this incorrectly, but this doesn't mess with anything about touching the polies themselves so it seems to really only handle edge cases where the polyobject was too close to the border of another sector (which would've likely made rendering glitches anyways).
* There was a whole swathe of teetering code that was basically never run properly because of this mistake. I did a simple fix at first, but you started teetering whenever you were slightly less than your radius away from a sector's edge, which was completely different and undesirable behaviour. Instead, I cut out the code that was never running, and just left the hacky method in instead since it was more accurate to what we want in general.
Issue was caused by attempting to traverse the sector's thing-touching-list across all the things in the sector (which would inevitably have the same sector as the first node in mobj->touching_sectorlist) instead of traversing the thing's sector-touching-list (which has the same thing but different sector references).
I wonder how many times AJ copypasted this code with absolutely no idea why it wasn't working properly. I'll figure that out tomorrow, maybe set up some compiler macros so this mistake is never made again. For now, I must sleeb.
Behaves ALMOST as you'd expect. It gets the z position of the slope at the player coordinates when it comes to the sectorlist check (which is first), though, so there's a few oddities that are amplified with steep slopes:
* If the slope's sloping away from you at a steep angle, you might not be able to step down onto it, but you won't teeter (because it's at a step-down-able height if it extended to directly beneath you)
* If the slope's sloping towards you at a steep angle, you might end up in teetering frames when you're able to step down onto it (because it's NOT at a step-down-able height if it extended to directly beneath you)
HOWEVER, it would be pretty obnoxious to hold back code which is functionally superior in every way otherwise, and it doesn't really seem like there's a good way to get that checked tbph
*The No Physics flag now works (Red, you might want to doublecheck this to see whether I haven't missed any eosteric stuff out). Going downhill is a little bumpy, and I'm not sure whether that's good or not. Someone help me out here?
*The SRB2CB typeshims are now behind #ifdef ESLOPE_TYPESHIM instead of #if 1 for easier disabling.
*Slopes' downhill thrusts are now scaled with regards to object gravity. This is actually untested in gravities other than normal and reverse normal but it's one line which can be easily reverted in that circumstance. I also checked with MI to make sure this is how it's calculated elsewhere, so fingers crossed this doesn't cause any edge cases.
*As a consequence of the above point, there's now a function in p_mobj.c/h that returns an object's internal gravity - seperated out from the logic of P_CheckGravity, which really didn't need to be so monolithic. Multiply by global gravity to get the thrust. This should probably be available to Lua somehow, but I have absolutely no idea where to start with that. Wolfs, maybe?
Non-comprehensive test file available at /toaster/slptst3.wad on the ftp.
NiGHTS hotfix
Fixes the following issues relating to playing as NiGHTS Super Sonic that apparently popped up between 2.1.14 and next (mostly due to the changes to SRB2's trig stuff it seems):
* Super Sonic drifts to the side at some angles around an axis, and is unable to go directly upwards or downwards as a result
* Drilling to the side when on the ground causes the drill sound to constantly restart
* CEZS's start not actually being lined up properly with the first axis means the player is not able to go backwards along the track (because the player is not actually aligned with the track properly, preventing you from touching the attached line transfer)
* trying to hug some walls such as the tall wall before the library section of CEZS allows Super Sonic to go through them
These fixes needs proper testing before this branch can be merged in, in case they accidentally break other things as a result or something.
See merge request !71
Basically I kind of worked around any potential trig inaccuracies by not using the player position directly for setting momx/momy. This way, if player->angle_pos == player->old_angle_pos, momx/momy are zero
Demo replay fixes
Changes made/bugs fixed in this branch:
* Replay camera is now controllable when climbing (https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=38668), and in waterslides
* localangle (read: the angle between you and the camera, I think) now doesn't change during demo replays in most situations, unless the player is in analog mode. Exceptions include zoomtubes and NiGHTS super
* Replay camera now doesn't act silly if the player is in analog mode (assuming you also recorded it in that mode to begin with, anyway)
See merge request !66
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
xorshift* PRNG
This needs testing to ensure I didn't mess anything up switching function names around.
Our PRNG sucks. This is probably obvious. I wish I had known better at the time I implemented it, but oh well.
The replacement is an xorshift* PRNG variant with period 2^32 - 1 (meaning that the PRNG state will loop after four billion calls ... that's not likely to happen), versus the old PRNG's period of about 2^22 (?). The output is also much more random and less predictable; the old PRNG would fall into a predictable loop of output after about 4000 numbers were generated, which isn't much.
The PRNG here also outputs numbers as fixed point from [0,1) (that's 0 to FRACUNIT-1, in other words) instead of single bytes at a time. This makes it much easier to calculate things for, say, P_RandomRange and P_RandomKey. A new macro, P_RandomChance(p), is now in use that returns true _p_ percent of the time, where _p_ is a fixed_t probability from 0 (0%) to FRACUNIT (100%).
This doesn't affect netgames at all; the code for seed saving and restoring is identical (aside from a check to prevent seed being set to 0, which breaks xorshift PRNGs). Demos break, but A: _duh_ and B: they're already broken by all the changes to physics to accommodate slopes.
P_Random is deprecated in Lua, as the function was renamed to P_RandomByte. Aside from that, nothing special.
See merge request !64
Fix for teetering on PolyObjects
So... somebody goofed and didn't realise PolyObject sectors could be added to the sector node list for each object (which is referenced by mobj->touching_sectorlist), via their linedefs if they are nearby the player (yes, PolyObject linedefs are special and get to move about the level). As it turns out, this allows even INTANGIBLE PolyObjects to make you teeter in a seemingly inexplicable way.
What is happening is that PolyObject sectors, when they are added to the mentioned lists, are then checked under normal sector teetering conditions - if the player is above the floorheight by 24 FUs, you're officially teetering unless stated otherwise. The actual PolyObject teetering code can't help you here if the conditions are right, especially if they're taller than 24 FU in height.
There are a number of things wrong with the teetering code in general that I'd like to sort eventually, but at least now teetering on PolyObjects is fixed at last ...right? Please check the branch out if you can to check this, obviously.

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.
