- 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.

(cherry picked from commit eae5d3333f5001512c82f22f2b1433a955b3a6c3)
* S_Init -> S_InitSfxChannels because it did mostly SFX anyway
* S_MusicPlaying, S_MusicPaused, S_MusicName, S_MusicExists new status methods
* I_MusicPlaying, I_MusicPaused
(cherry picked from commit f5f0b5e76c2fd405c8cc895dde653c5ed2652622)
* In s_sound, they are merged to one method as well, but there are still two separate digvolume and seqvolume variables
* Simplified Dig/MidiMusicDisabled in s_sound
* Method reordering
(cherry picked from commit 701cc5a7dd1dfead87a42ec7558c9fa6a1deb193)
* 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.
