There may not be a point to this, other than to be consistent with how spheres are tracked. If non-special stage NiGHTS should tally a ring bonus, this may be useful.
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.)
* cv_useranalog is now hidden from the menu.
* Directionchar now attempts to face the camera direction when you're standing still, and handles a few other states with more decorum.
* Tailsbot is now slightly more capable of keeping up with Sonic.
* pflags rearranged/adjusted, combining a few non-simulstaneous ones and turning PF_NIGHTSFALL into CR_NIGHTSFALL.
* [unrelated to branch] all ground-impact based abilities now happen more consistently with quicksand.
*P_LookForEnemies is now side-effect-less and only provides a pointer to the found mobj
*player-jumping is dead, long live PF_STARTJUMP
*per Mystic's request, CA2_GUNSLINGER has a targeting icon. It also has a more restricted vertical aiming range.
*mobj for this is in the game as requested
*fast teetering animation flag
*general code cleanup
* Mildly hacky proof of concept! Will de-hack later.
* Charge up your ability!
* You can only damage others if it's at full power.
* Fires directly at enemies/bosses when at full power. Does NOT aim at players.
* PF_NIGHTSMODE is now CR_NIGHTSMODE as part of player->powers[pw_carry]. This is because it's mutually exclusive to every other "carry" type.
* PF_SUPERREADY is dead because it literally just checked for all 7 emeralds and 50 rings. That's it. You couldn't even appreciably alter its presence with Lua. That logic has been placed back in P_SuperReady.
* Super sprites are now deliniated via an additional S_SUPER lump between S_START and S_END. Above are normal sprites, below are super sprites. Handled internally via FF_SPR2SUPER.
* Sprite2 numbers are now appropriately limited for the data type that stores them.
* SPR2_SPIN is now SPR2_ROLL, SPR2_DASH is now SPR2_SPIN and SPR2_PEEL is now SPR2_DASH. Makes more sense, right?
Spindash dust
Charging a spindash kicks up dust, we all know this feature was dying to get in at some point. Bubble and flame forms of spin dust are included from FSonic, for underwater and elemental respectively.
Oh, and as a bonus I reorganised the spindash/spinning/other ability2 stuff code to look a bit neater and more organised.
New resources:
* MT_SPINDUST - the object
* S_SPINDUST1 to 4 - the normal form's states
* S_SPINDUST_BUBBLE1 to 4 - the bubble form's states
* S_SPINDUST_FIRE1 to 4 - the bubble form's states
* SPR_DUST - the normal form's sprite set (uses frames A to D, just pinch FSonic's sprites really)
* SPR_FPRT - the flame form's sprite set (frame A only)
SF_NOSPINDASHDUST disables spindash dust for a character
See merge request !52
* Bubblewrap shield bounce now no longer allows thokking post-bounce, but still allows bouncing
* plus a bunch of tiny changes to clean up code around the place.
* Some shield sounds swapped (can be reverted later).
* Partial implementation of S3K shield abilities.
* The ability to elemental-groundpound onto gold monitors without going straight through them.
* Force shield ability removed because nobody could agree on it, we'll keep it blank until another idea can get through the disagreement juggernaut.
* introducing the new friend, SH_FORCEHP (which is used as a bitmask to get the extra hitpoints of a force-shield user)
* P_DamageMobj now considers the unimplemented shield constants as well as the implemented ones.
* Camerascale, shieldscale, height and spinheight are now player attributes which are set to the skin attribute on skin change, not read directly from the skin.
* P_GetPlayerHeight and P_GetPlayerSpinHeight are now macros instead of functions.
* Extra protection against switching to a locked skin.
* When moving slowly, P_InstaThrust at S_SKIN's maxdash forward, and set momz to S_SKIN's mindash upwards. Plays a tok noise (not thok). Hurts enemies/bosses, busts spikes/monitors/all types of bustable blocks.
* When moving quickly... doesn't do anything yet, but WILL do a slide.
Also, P_DoSpinDash is now renamed to P_DoSpinAbility, and CA_TWINSPIN users can bust all bustable blocks on collision too.
* Electric sparks coming off entire body instead of bubbles coming out mouth
* Different sounds.
* Different icons.
These sprites are currently local only, but I'll be doing a lot of asset updating this evening since Rob asked me to so it won't be long until you can get them.
* SF_NOJUMPSPIN - Player's height is full whilst jumping, SPR2_JUMP defaults to SPR2_SPNG instead of SPR2_SPIN, and the player goes into fall frames if they start moving downwards or use their ability.
* PA_JUMP - for jumping (upwards in the case of SF_NOJUMPSPIN.
* SF_NOJUMPDAMAGE - Ala rosy.wad, don't damage enemies, etc when jumping into them.
* SF_STOMPDAMAGE - Just for fun. Ala in Mario, always damage enemies when you land on top of them (your gravity reference, not theirs).
* SF_MARIODAMAGE - SF_NOJUMPDAMAGE|SF_STOMPDAMAGE is reasonably accurate to the Mario games, and might as well be surfaced as such.
Also, a minor change:
* Instead of not spawning the revitem if your SPR2_ is SPR2_DASH, don't spawn it if it's set to 0. This requires the player.dta I uploaded a couple days ago to behave as it was previously.
* Don't get stuck in spindash frames if your maxdash is 0, and don't flash rolling frames if you're on goop.
* SPR2_PEEL, SPR2_SPEE.
* S_PLAY_PEEL, S_PLAY_SUPER_PEEL.
* PA_PEEL.
* Dashmode actually starts charging from runspeed instead of the arbitrarily calculated (normalspeed - 5*FRACUNIT). This just made things easier, honestly, and it's 1 FU of difference compared to the current test case.
* SPR2_JUMP and SPR2_SJMP are now the jump sprite sets for spin chars
* SPR2_SPNG and SPR2_SSPG are the new sprite sets for spring up anims (instead of JUMP/SJMP)
* S_PLAY_JUMP and S_PLAY_SUPER_JUMP are now the states for spin char jumps
* S_PLAY_SPRING and S_PLAY_SUPER_SPRING are the new states for spring up (instead of the "JUMP" states)
* PA_JUMP is now PA_SPRING (jumping anims are lumped with PA_ROLL)
This works fine in single player on vanilla builds, multiplayer is untested. This might not be the best way to handle the ability, so modifications for efficiency/sanity might be necessary.
*player->health (formerly the "HUD" health) is now to be known as player->rings, and now acts as the player's actual ring count
*player->mo->health (formerly rings + 1) is now always 1 when alive, regardless of ring count; if player with rings is damaged, this is untouched
Damage in normal SP/Coop gameplay has been tested and still works fine; still a lot of mess to clear up though
Tag damaging probably is broken now, I'll fix this later
