Sea Egg is majorly changed according to Mystic's ancient instructions (excepting the flying FOF rock, I cared not for fucking around with FOFs).
Specifically:
* Faster paced fight.
* Instantly travels horizontal distance.
* Fakes no longer hurt papa, and spin out like a deflating balloon when he dies.
* New attack: When surfacing, produces an electric shockwave. Replaces underwater shock. Designed for new, shallow arena.
* Support for multiple bosses in the same map distinguished by parameter.
Will upload map to fight the new battle in on the MR.
* Add more context clues to his fight, including an indicator for which laser attack is being used after chargeup.
* Make missiles able to vectorise him.
* Add another laser orb attack - vertical slice - and change the laser orb sequence to accurately reflect that horizontal is the hardest of the ones in 2.1.
* Optimise TC_BLINK, and fix an issue with TC_ALLWHITE that somehow avoided coming up in testing.
* Fix colorized bosses losing their colorization when flashing, by forcing TC_ALLWHITE.
* Smoothen Pity Shield animation to go with sphere's updates to Nev3r's sprites.
* Added LHRT object, designed to be summoned with CA2_MELEE.
* Gives a pink Pity Shield (SH_PINK) on same-team player contact.
* Deals damage to non-player enemies.
* Harmlessly fades into nothing when touching an enemy player, players with SH_PINK already, and players capable of applying SH_PINK to others (through non-Lua methods).
* Basically, you-know-who is the Healer of the party whenever they're around. Fun consequences for the Co-op and CTF metas.
* Port across the additional colour translation maps, including mobj-level support for "colorized" objects.
* Make Fangboss and both Metal Sonic objects greyscale if, on spawn, there is a player in the game who is not a spectator whose skin is that character.
* Allow bosses with MF_GRENADEBOUNCE to opt out of the MF2_FRET colour-flashing tomfoolery, and give this flag to Fang.
This cannot be compiled as-is right now for the following reasons:
* Numerous actions still need to be hardcoded.
* MT_FBOMB uses the TNT barrel explosion (and by extention A_TNTExplode) for its death state. This is a pickle, I'll deal with it when I get to it.
Also missing:
* Fang waypoint object type+states.
* Fang's good looks (to be put in the resource files obviously).
* Fang's brain.
* Default hitbox height is 80
* Drone Thing parameter sets height to multiples of 32
* Player aligns by default to bottom+24 of hitbox (offsetted)
* `MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL` aligns player to hitbox top
* `MTF_EXTRA` aligns to hitbox center
* `MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL|MTF_EXTRA` aligns to real bottom of hitbox
* Goalpost and sparkle Z alignment is changed to reflect configurableness
* New entries: NIGHTSDRONE_MAN, NIGHTSDRONE_SPARKLING
* NIGHTSGOAL renamed to NIGHTSDRONE_GOAL
* MT_NIGHTSDRONE repurposed as an invisble, no-gravity hitbox
* Flames fall with flameholders.
* New modification to teleport cheat: -sp <val> <val> allows instantaneous jump to any starpost in the map, including spawnpoints as starpost index 0!
* Also, -ang <val> and -aim <val>, which can be combined with -nop to pivot on the spot.
* Bomb sphere! Paraloopable hazard. Replaces MT_SPECIALSPIKEBALL.
* Blueberry bushes, both normal and Xmas, from patch.dta.
* BSZ tulips, also from patch.dta!
* Frozen Hillside badniks - Penguinator and Pophat.
* Frozen Hillside ice decoration!
* Fixed some big bugs with the DSZ light beams.
* Made multi-mare special stages work, in a troll way - the Chaos Emerald disappears in a puff of smoke, and the Spinbobert laughter sound plays... >:3c
* Reverted the mobjtype number changes from the source SOC/Lua, which we can do later when doing a final pass of the levels.
* State optimisation.
* Serious cruft-removal of the NiGHTS drone thinker.
* Fix the issues where the player wouldn't curl into jump in waterslides or dropping off rope-hangs.
* Tweak NiGHTS player flashing.
* Add text colour support to the titlecard font.
* Use that to make the PRESS SPIN\nMID-JUMP thing when you get all Chaos Emeralds use the titlecard font for readability.
* Fix the GOT ALL EMERALDS page not lasting the correct, extended amount of time.
* Fix that thing where flying mid-spin didn't enact autobrake.
* Modify graymap a little on Sryder's suggestion.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] fix that thing where the addons menu will fail on files/paths with spaces in [/COMPLETELY UNRELATED]
OLD SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres in old special stages instead of rings!
* Individual timers in old special stages instead of a global one!
* Old special stages use a variant of the NiGHTS HUD now!
* Special stage damage in old special stages loses 5 seconds of time instead of 10 rings/spheres!
* All damage gained through old special stages is converted to special stage damage! As a consequence, the special spikeball has no need to be special anymore.
* Made emerald gaining function be based on special stage number rather than gained emeralds!
* Consistency with...
NiGHTS SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres now flash in bonus time. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452590553100713984/srb20032.gif
* Sphere and ring mapthingnums are now less fucked up in 'em. (Rings are 300, same as usual, while Spheres are now 1706 replacing NiGHTS Wings.)
SPECIAL STAGES IN GENERAL:
* useNightsSS is now dead. Each individual special stage is now assessed for NiGHTS-mode behaviour based on maptol & TOL_NIGHTS.
* CRAWLA HONCHO\n CAN NOW BE\n SUPER CRAWLA HONCHO end tally modification now also includes a mini-tutorial on turning super. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
* SONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452623869497573386/srb20034.gif
NiGHTS NON-SPECIAL STAGES:
* Colour Chips and Star Chips! Replaces Spheres and Rings of NiGHTS Special Stages.
* Colour Chips turn yellow in bonus time.
* Ideya!
* Its own "drowning" music!
* All of the object types for Dream Hill.
* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
RANDOM BS:
* Turn super with the spin button instead of the jump button!
* Followmobj now correctly set with P_SetTarget instead of pointer assignment.
* Emerald hunt uses new sprites!
* Made unlock noise different from emblem gain noise! (It's the CRAWLA HONCHO CAN NOW TURN yadda yadda sound from S3K now.)
* Better Robo Hood arrows.
* Shield break animation for Egg Guard. (Temporary state slot so I don't have to compile from scratch until I do something more complicated later.)
* Suspicious Facestabber Statue animates a little before bursting open.
* Fix Facestabber radius.
* Fix some stuff in Flicky functions that could be overwritten in Lua call actions by mistake.
* Facestabber statues now have fun breaking effects.
* Fake coronas for candles and prickets.
* hnext and hprev are properly dealt with in MobjThinker if P_MobjIsRemoved.
* Facestabber statues, of both the suspicious and non-suspicious kind.
* New object type for the end of grabbable chains.
* I moved my compilation .bat file to my Releases folder, so it should .gitignore .bat's.
* Random extra stuff.
* Blue diagonal springs, because that gap is very, very odd.
* Improved A_SpawnFreshCopy.
* Tweaked P_LookForEnemies for consistency's sake. (Previously, it was impossible to make a spring that could neither be homing-attacked or attraction-shotted.)
* Behaves a bit differently to the one in DSZres.pk3.
* Can now punch DSZ mines!
* Also has mapthingnum 126 instead of 610.
* Some other mapthingnum changes.
* DSZ2 stalagmite is now 1009, formerly 999.
* Big DSZ gargoyle is now 1011, formerly 1009.
* Make the MF_PAIN stuff ONLY depend on mass, using the bottom 8 bits for the type and the custom sound in the upper ones.
* A bunch of cleanup of random other stuff, including an unused Deton state and an unused Jetty type's sprite.
* Add damagetype to P_RadiusAttack (optinteger in lua, A_Explode var1).
* Removed the prevention of MF_BOSS objects from getting P_RadiusAttacked. This was a holdover from DooM (I checked) - a way to prevent the Cyberdemon from gibbing itself when firing point blank into a wall, and also a way to make it and the Spider Mastermind harder.
* Enemies are solid to other enemies movement-wise now.
* (Fun little aside - if you remove MF_SOLID from a monitor, it now behaves like they did in Sonic Adventure (poppable by colliding with, not just attacking).
* Fixed Metal Sonic battle conflict in MF_PAIN/mass not picked up earlier.
* Miscellaneous tiny code tweaks.
* Made Facestabbers take two hits and have associated pain/death animations. No other changes, just wanted to make sure THIS was done.
* Move Bubblebuzz-related stuff to go alongside the secret badniks and etc.
* MF2_INVERTAIMABLE. Inverts whether P_LookForEnemies can get at; replaces a hardcoded thingy.
* MF2_FRET application and removal.
* Flashing when flag present.
* Bounce player back on successful damaging.
* Add their spawnhealth to the chain.
* Reduce code duplication in P_TouchSpecialThing.
* Play with Crawla Commander a little bit as a test of its power.
* MF_PAIN and MF_MISSILE now support setting damagetype via their Mass parameter. The two existing conflicts - the fuse setting for the grenade weapon ring and the Cybrakdemon napalm bomb - had these moved to other free parameters.
* A_ConnectToGround is EXTREMELY useful for palmtrees and stuff.
* Some other, relatively hacky A_ functions.
* (Unrelated) Remove the need for a "Mario block mode" for the token by making it natively compatible.
* Spikes and their time-offsetting via that Lua script sphere made. Also allow for wallspikes to do it via their angle/360.
* Completely rework how mace/chainbars are spawned to reduce the number of matrix multiplications required EVEN FURTHER!
* Reimplement the maceretry solidity stuff (effect 4).
* Flip the mminlength stuff so that existing dev maps don't break badly.
* Fix hacky chainbar grabbing.
* Tweak height of tinychain a smidge.
* Handle all chain objects as a hnext/hprev chain.
* When removing mobjs with hnext/hprev, "repair the chain" (make the h links meet).
* Fix hidden slings, which I accidentially broke when I revamped maces the first time.
* Kill MF2_MACEROTATE. Not needed for anything anymore.
* P_MaceRotate now available to Lua to make up for it.
* Related: Made modifying hnext/hprev using Lua safer, so it keeps the reference counts in play.
* cv_powerupdisplay. Never, First-person only (default), Always.
* New monitor stuff.
* Fixed hitmessages.
* Some CTF stuff.
* Aaaaugh it's a lot I hate myself I need to work on my coursework.
* I'll figure out what I did here in the merge request when that's done.
* Add a default behaviour to followmobj (just basic A_CapeChase).
* Allow for modifying which character starting a new SP game should start you on, relative to the first valid character. (SOC's "startchar" variable)
* Make MF2_SHADOW transferrable via linkdraw.
* Modify P_GetSkinSprite2's recursion limiter to have zero chance of ever infinitely looping.
- Name each frame either SPR2_**** or SUPER**** (where **** is the 4-character name)
- If the name is 3 characters, '.' is accepted as a substitute for the '_', but a space/absent isn't (for tool-related reasons).
- Adds a big sprite2 index array to all models, even non-player ones. Sorry!
* Made MD2 frame interpoleration only work across the same spriteset (and sprite2set).
* Made MD2 frame interpoleration happen when there's less than a quarter of a second between frames, as opposed to the hardcoded specific animation disabling.
* Fixed sprite2-related typo in dehacked.c.
NiGHTS Paraloop-special emblems
Implemented the two NiGHTS Emblem types in the TUDD via var modifications to ET_GLOBAL!
* GE_NIGHTSPULL (for it to chase you once paralooped) - Sun emblem
* GE_NIGHTSITEM (for hidden until paralooped) - Moon emblem
* Combined means that you essentially have to loop it twice.
Also, revamped NIGHTSITEM to suck a little less (and have more compatibility with MT_EMBLEM).
Check out root/!LatestSRB2Files/srb2win_branch_nightsemblems.exe with the latest patch.dta, along with root/toaster/nightstest.soc for a sample in GFZS.
See merge request !94
* Improve the code for busting vertical spikes.
* Improve the frame arrangement for vertical spikes' spriteset. (Requires new patch.dta)
* Make all spikes consistently do damage with DMG_SPIKE.
* (unrelated) renamed "flame stomp" to "elemental stomp" in P_HitDeathMessages
Or rather, I killed anything to do with the old background orb, renamed all "EMMY" stuff to "TOKEN", and of course adjusted the new S_TOKEN accordingly
