Some hacks from the snake minigame patch have been removed as they are
no longer needed.

Instead of modifying the game, cheats now set a separate "cheats were used in this session" variable, which returns some of the old behavior.
HOWEVER, cheats will STILL allow spawning / collecting emblems & unlocking unlockables. Cheats will purely prevent saving progress. (It was always frustrating that devmode would make debugging unlockable features harder...)
Lastly, the function to set no-saving was exposed to Lua (`G_SetUsedCheats(silent)`). Just thought it'd be useful for large-scale gamedata-using mods that want to add their own cheat commands.
- Emblems in a row now have a little bit of spacing between them.
- Score/time/ring emblems are drawn only once in the pause menu.
- Record Attack & NiGHTS Mode show in-level emblems as well.
System layer is greatly simplified and framecap
logic has been moved internally. I_Sleep now
takes a sleep duration and I_SleepDuration
generically implements a precise sleep with spin
loop.
Time is now tracked internally in the game using I_GetPreciseTime
and I_UpdateTime. I_Time now pulls from this internal timer. The
system code no longer needs to keep track of time itself.
This significantly improves frame and tic timing in interp mode,
resulting in a much smoother image with essentially no judder at
any framerate.
- Disabled VSync, due to the numerous problems it has.
- Instead, added an FPS cap.
- Frame interpolation is now tied to fpscap != 35.
- By default, the FPS cap is set to the monitor's refresh rate.
- Rewrote the FPS counter.
(This also consolidates several more commits ahead of this
fixing various issues. -eid)
`renderdeltatics` can be used as a standard delta time in any place,
allowing for smooth menus. It will always be equal to `realtics`
when frame interpolation is turned off, producing consistent
framerate behavior everywhere it is used.
- Windowed mode resolution can now be changed via the resolutions menu.
- F11 can also be used while in this menu.
- Removed usewindowedres cvar for ease of use.
- When starting in windowed mode, use the correct resolution.
- Renamed Simple to Automatic, and made it the default
- Renamed Standard to Manual
- Changed some camera settings to make Automatic easier to control
- Changed most default gamepad controls, to fit Automatic playstyle
- Changed a few default keyboard controls
- Added default binds for custom actions 1-3
- Removed forced camera settings in the tutorial (to account for
upcoming tutorial update)
- Also lowered default sound/music volume a little bit
- If a level is in-between two with the same header, it would previously create two headers with the same name. Now it groups all levels with the same header together.
- Previously, a header would only be visible if its first map was visible. Now it will show the header if you've visited any level under the header.
For SUGOI.
Locked skins now are a specific unlockable type, instead of being tied to the skin's properties.
This has plagued custom gamedata since 2.2 launch. It's extremely obnoxious having to set aside random numbers as dummy unlockables just to ensure that Amy Fang & Metal are unlocked from the start in a custom map pack.
Other changes made to accommodate this:
- R_GetSkinAvailabilities is now created from the list of unlockables set to skin type. (1st skin unlockable defined is (1), 2nd skin unlockable defined is (1 << 1), etc...)
- The "Added skin x" print shows up when loading addons but not at all for the base game, because the previous behavior of hiding based on if the skin was locked would now require iterating unlockables, which felt wrong to do during that stage of the loading process
- I noticed in my test wad that Sonic&Tails would give you Sonic&Sonic out if Tails was locked. I fixed that by making both skins required to show the character select option.
Mods that reserved empty dummy unlockables for Amy Fang and Metal won't have to do anything. Mods that wanted to re-lock them behind different requirements will have to update, but in the future they will not have to be in specific slots. Additionally, now Sonic Tails and Knuckles can also be locked for mods.
Separated X and Y scale, and added colormap argument
Added V_*SCALEPATCH and V_PERPLAYER flags support
Made sx,sy,w,h into fixed-point values
Exposed to Lua as "v.drawCropped(...)"
(Also fix HWR_DrawStretchyFixedPatch ignoring vscale without pscale)
If an add-on disabled an option, re-opening the 1 Player menu
multiple times would lower the above options multiple times
Also fix Marathon Run and Tutorial being "perma-(un)lock"-able
If an option in the "1 Player" menu is unavailable in an add-on,
lower the above options to close the gap from the invisible option
Also make Marathon Run display as question marks if locked
And also change "sploadgame" to "spstartgame"
Basically a dedicated Record Attack-like experience for speedrunning the game as a continuous chunk rather than ILs. Has several quality of life features.
Benefits include:
* An unambiguous real-time bar across the bottom of the screen, always displaying the current time, ticking up until you reach the ending.
* Disable the console (pausing is still allowed, but the timer will still increment).
* Automatically skip intermissions as if you're holding down the spin button.
* Show centiseconds on HUD automatically, like record attack.
* "Live Event Backups" - a category of run fit for major events like GDQ, where recovery from crashes or chokes makes for better entertainment. Essentially a modified SP savefile, down to using the same basic functions, but has its own filename and tweaked internal layout.
* "spmarathon_start" MainCfg block parameter and "marathonnext" mapheader parameter, allowing for a customised flow (makes this fit for purpose for an eventual SUGOI port).
* Disabling inter-level custom cutscenes by default with a menu option to toggle this (won't show up if the mod doesn't *have* any custom cutscenes), although either way ending cutscenes (vanilla or custom) remain intact since is time is called before them.
* Won't show up if you have a mod that consists of only one level (determined by spmarathon_start's nextlevel; this won't trip if you manually set its marathonnext).
* Unconditional gratitude on the evaluation screen, instead of a negging "Try again..." if you didn't get all the emeralds (which you may not have been aiming for).
* Gorgeous new menu (no new assets required, unless you wanna give it a header later).
Changes which were required for the above but affect other areas of the game include:
* "useBlackRock" MainCFG block parameter, which can be used to disable the presence of the Black Rock or Egg Rock in both the Evaluation screen and the Marathon Run menu (for total conversions with different stories).
* Disabling Continues in NiGHTS mode, to match the most common singleplayer experience post 2.2.4's release (is reverted if useContinues is set to true).
* Hiding the exitmove "powerup" outside of multiplayer. (Okay, this isn't really related, I just saw this bug in action a lot while doing test runs and got annoyed enough to fix it here.)
* The ability to use V_DrawPromptBack (in hardcode only at the moment, but) to draw in terms of pixels rather than rows of text, by providing negative instead of positive inputs).
* A refactoring of redundant game saves smattered across the ending, credits, and evaluation - in addition to saving the game slightly earlier.
* Minor m_menu.c touchups and refactorings here and there.
Built using feedback from the official server's #speedruns channel, among other places.
Adds musicpref to console and sound options menu, which allows users to select whether to prioritize MIDI or Digital music.
Functions GameMIDIMusic_OnChange and GameDigiMusic_OnChange updated to not assume digital music priority, and to have more consistent behavior between the two.
Positive side effect of using P_RestoreMusic in these functions means that powerup music (speed shoes, invincibility) will restore in the correct position when reenabling the original MusicType they loaded in with.
