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.)
*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
* 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.
The idea is for the layman Lua user to understand better what range of values to use for mobj types, states, sfxs, player #s etc. Additionally, mobjinfo/states/sfxinfo/hudinfo tables all now have actual bound checks when accessing/editing them. Yikes, why didn't they have any before?!
*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
Angles now go from 0 to 0xFFFF (360 degrees == FRACUNIT) instead
of using a full UINT32. Lua only has one number type, so signedness
gets in the way of using angle_t directly. This handling of angles
matches up with how ZDoom ACS scripting and the like does it.
I also changed all the integer casts and pushes of fixed_t to
their own macro in preperation for possible future seperation.
