* CA_TWINSPIN - you can do it multiple times
* CA_DOUBLEJUMP - your jump height is reduced each time, like in Kirby games. The number of extra jumps once you've left the ground that are available is determined by the character's actionspd.
* 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.
Sideways springs, horizontal hog-launchers, perpendicular plungers...
Call them what you like, they're in the code now. And have been for months!
Nev3r uses the hell out of these and I'm fed up of them being <!>'s all over the place, so please have 'em in master so we can update srb2.srb and make things better for all of us.
See merge request !30
* FF_MIDDLESTARTCHANCE - has a 50% chance of starting the spr2 or FF_ANIMATE animation halfway in
* FF_SPR2ENDSTATE - if var1 == S_NULL, don't loop, just stop incrementing the frames. Otherwise, go to the state represented by var1.
The former is just something I did for fun, the latter is something that'll come in handy when porting in new-character-moves.
Setup:
* S_SKIN needs an "availability" line. Set to 0 to have always available, otherwise is assumed to be UINT8 unlockable number. If it's a valid unlockable, its name will be copied over with the character's realname.
* Define an unlockable via SOC or hardcode. If you don't want it visible on the Secrets menu, just set its type to None. Everything else is as normal - you can set the conditionset to whatever, objective, height, nochecklist, nocecho...
* radius - sets the player's radius for that skin.
* height - sets the player's normal height for that skin.
* spinheight - sets the player's spinheight for that skin.
* shieldscale - see http://i.imgur.com/BQ5DhKC.png for justification
R_SkinUnlock defines the circumstances under which a skin is available. For simplicty's sake, I've currently bound it to an S_SKIN variable so I can toggle it easily, but it WILL be replaced with a hook into the savegame system at some point.
* Currently has three tiers of unlock - freebie (forceskin or modeattacking via a loaded replay), Ringslinger Only, and SP/Coop and Ringslinger.
* I don't know anything about netcode so I basically decided to make R_SkinUnlock relevant only under local circumstances, try as hard as possible to stop bad skin info from getting sent to the server, and then admit defeat once the server has the information. If this is a bad choice, please discipline me and show me how to fix it.
* Character Select now checks for whether the character is hidden or not on menu load and does/undoes it based on that info, but will never touch one disabled via SOC. I also used this opportunity to optimise, checking for/filling out charsel pictures instead of doing it later. (It now also includes special casing for a select screen with zero characters!)
* Mode Attack now hides hidden characters in its character select based on SP rules.
Things that still need to be done:
* ForceSkin_OnChange. Is there a graceful way to handle this?
* No obvious skin name conflicts. Add a salt to the names of hidden skins, and then remove it when they're unhidden?
* The gap between Knuckles' skin number and the first custom character anybody adds will be way too obvious. A seperate hidden skin numbering system? Start at 32 and count up from there? There's a few ways...
* If a character select character image is not set, don't iterate every tic - iterate on first image get and then save to the struct.
* A character select screen with only two characters now has special case handling.
* A memory leak in the making has been plugged. (specifically, picname not being Z_Free'd if the loop fails to do so)
* Logic/operation simplification.
Also, some typo corrections and clarity case movements of stuff in other files I've been looking at.
