* Don't loop every frame for menu drawing parameters
* Fixed in-game escape menu not dimming correctly
* Fixed glitches on default title screen parameters
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.)
* fix screen to properly truncate the filename to just the real name only
* if the real name itself is too long, use ellipsis and paste in parts of the start and end of the actual name
note: I haven't actually tested if this works or compiles yet, I haven't the time right now
- controllable strengths between 0-31 for COLORMAP lump like before
- arbitrary colour indices in the palette via TRANSMAP lumps, with strengths 0-9
- exposed to Lua as v.fadeScreen(color, strength)!
* Remove last vestiges of V_STATICPATCH.
* 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.
*Add CONS_Printf messages for !netgame checks
*Arg count is checked first regardless of netgame status for both kick and ban, < 2 is checked instead of == 1 just in case these weren't called from console for some stupid reason?
*Moved Command_Kick's buffer vars to within the code that actually does kicking stuff
* if you sent it to a client rather than the server, game over, your connection is closed
* if files that don't exist or are too large are requested are listed, game over, your connection is closed (they should have been checked on YOUR side beforehand, silly)
* if the server has downloading disabled anyway, ...yeah, you get the idea
Don't worry, I made sure Got_RequestFilePak cleaned up the full file request list for the node in case of failure
MI's unimportant code cleanup
Just removing a bunch of unused variables/function prototypes from the source code and similarly minor stuff, nothing here should change gameplay much (if at all).
See merge request !71
*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
* Made it so (player->availabilities & 1 << skinnum) is only true if skins[skinnum] DOES have an availability method, and always false otherwise.
* This means that setting your availabilities to INT32_MAX is no longer the equivalent of having gotten all skins.
* This means we can detect and kick cheat engine script kiddies who try to fool the server that they can use everything.
* This means availabilities of 0x00 is now valid, so make it all F's for an invalid not-in-game.
There's an outstanding issue - you can set forceskin to whatever you want to as the host. This needs to be fixed, but I'm commiting my successes first.
-If the server tries to kick a joiner who is downloading the game state, they will get a timeout instead, because a regular kick would only happen once the game state has been downloaded
-Added a timeout for player ticcmd packets, again to prevent freezes to happen in some cases
-File/game state downloading is now faster, the speed is controlled by the "downloadspeed" cvar, in packets per tic
-The reason is now properly shown when the server refuses connection
-Changed the default values of "nettimeout" to 10 seconds (previously 15) and "maxsend" to 4 MB (previously 1)
-Added a "noticedownload" cvar that displays a message in the server console when someone is downloading a file
-Updated packet name list so the debug file no longer shows garbage packet names
-Replaced byte values with actual net command names in the debug file. Only the first net command in a packet will be shown though
-Added a MOBJCONSISTANCY define that makes the game takes all revelant mobjs to be counted in the synch seed
-Added a PACKETDROP define that adds two console commands "drop" and "droprate" to simulate bad internet by dropping packets
-Added/changed comments here in there in the netcode
-Fixed a minor error that would ignore one of the urgent ack slots
-Added a space between the map name and "zone" for the messages shown in a joiner's console
* 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.
