* Standardises conditions under which the UFO Catcher can be "targeted" (Jawz, SPB, tether)
* Makes SPBs explode a little ahead of driving distance if UFO Catcher is no longer targetable
* Make everyone PF_NOCONTEST (but not explode) if the UFO/emerald reaches the end of its waypoint path.
- Possibly temporary: Make the UFO/emerald go straight up at its final waypoint
* If you have PF_NOCONTEST, K_IsPlayerLosing is true
* If special stage in action and the only reason you'd be behind is your position, nobody loses
* Never eliminate last in special stage
* Time Over funny camera no longer occurs when PF_NOCONTEST but not dead
- GTR_ROLLINGSTART
* Initial instathrust, as before
* Forced MAXPLMOVE forward
* Disable finish line beam
* "Super transformation" sound
- Reference to the previous entry in the series' Perfect Startboost mechanic
- GTR_SPECIALSTART
* Instant white fade
* No titlecard (overridden by Boss intro)
* Starting warp sound
- Match slidein time with no traditional titlecard to the end of the playsim intro fade
- Remove G_IsSpecialStage
* The existing structs are now exclusively for handling extra data.
* `specialStage` has been renamed to `specialstageinfo`, to reflect that it is not the sole arbiter.
* `specialstageinfo.valid` and `bossinfo.valid` are what must be checked before grabbing data from either struct.
* These are turned on when the gametype extra data is successfully initialised, not on map start.
* `K_InitBossHealthBar(...)` for `bossinfo.valid`
* `K_InitSpecialStage(void)` for `specialstageinfo.valid`
* `K_CanChangeRules(...)` no longer checks these
* No longer uses duplicate encore information.
* The map command (and -warp) now guesses gametype using a general `G_GuessGametypeByTOL(UINT32)` function
* Grabs the first gametype with an overlap between the requested TOL and the gametype's TOL.
* The cool Versus-specific intro is now checked via `K_CheckBossIntro()`.
- New array of pointers to structures in memory (currently mixing static for base-game and Callocated for custom)
- Centralises a metric-ton of previously seperately handled properties into one struct
- Gametype_Names[]
- Gametype_ConstantNames[]
- gametypetol[]
- timelimits[]
- pointlimits[]
- gametypedefaultrules[]
- Don't attempt to guess custom gametype in Replay Hut (requires more work to make custom gametypes behave across the entire experience)
- I_Error if invalid gametype set
- gametyperules is deprecated since it will never be modified seperately from gametype (temporarily a #define, don't wanna bloat this commit too much)
New:
- GTR_POWERSTONES
- Handles spawning in Battle Emeralds (currently only works stacked with GTR_PAPERITEMS)
- GTR_ENCORE
- Codifies that Race can use Encore and Battle can't.
- GTR_CLOSERPLAYERS
- A gametype where players are encouraged/expected to be closer together. (All of the following was GT_BATTLE specific)
- Drafting/tether has increased strength/effective distance
- Spindashing is stronger
- Invincibility chaining has less effect
- Grow has a lower total duration
- Flame shield is more uncontrollable
Extra functionality
- GTR_CAPSULES
- Prevents usage of lives in Grand Prix (so Race, and the upcoming Special and Boss gametypes, can have 'em)
- GTR_CIRCUIT
- When not present, Flame Shield has perma-full meter
- When not present, overrides gamespeed with KARTSPEED_EASY
- Presence of Best Lap sticker in Time Attack menu
- Seperation between Time Attack and Break The Capsules modeattacking roulettes
- GTR_POINTLIMIT
- Handles the switch between a gametype recording/displaying Times and Scores in a few places
- Handles displaying "WANTED" players on the minimap
Missing simple substitutions
- A whole bunch of cases where player->bumpers was checked with gametype == GT_BATTLE rather than GTR_BUMPER
- GTR_OVERTIME handles the overtime special icon on the minimap
- GTR_BATTLESTARTS is honoured in K_DoIngamerespawn
- The Replay hut is closer to supporting custom gametypes
Removals
- GTR_LIVES
- GTR_SPECIALBOTS
- Given that grand prix persists between modes, these are special game-controlled features and not gametype-specific.
- GTR_WANTED
- WANTED as it existed is functionally dead
* The consensus has moved against gametype changes in voting, so strip it out
* Encorescramble already independently controls setting Encore, so don't keep the outdated randomisation method
Done in this branch because it uses gametype constants directly, both in a cvar and function, and I want to get rid of as many of those as possible
This was carefully adjusted so that Mecha Sonic reaches
199% top speed, barely shy of 200%. Previously, Mecha and
even down to Espio could overcharge a spindash to reach
Tripwire Blaster state.
- UFO is able to be damaged. (No damage values set yet, so it has an obnoxious amount of health.)
- Emerald becomes collectible when fully damaged.
- Jawz can target the UFO.
- Tweaked some of the speed values.
- UFO spawns at first waypoint for TOL_SPECIAL maps
- UFO moves up the waypoints, the speed varying based on your position relative to it and your own speed.
- You are able to tether off of the UFO.
- Bugfix: PathfindThruCircuit no longer fails when reaching a one-ended waypoint.
Damage is my next project but I wanted to get this committed for now.
All of the player_t references are now full-const instead of const pointer after a certain point. This is because I've made two mistakes so far of modifying the player with this, when it's supposed to be safe to call for HUD as well.
Also uses this split to add a more efficient way to prevent multi-Shrink/SPB.
Also handles NULL player better, for the sake of Battle's K_CreatePaperItem.
- Most of it now requires a reference to itemroulette_t, rather than copying all of the variables over.
- Increased the effect of Frantic Items, as the old scaling was made extremely low because item distance was exponential back then.
- A lot of variables are pre-calculated in itemroulette_t instead of redoing the calculations every time (player count, first place's dist, etc)
- Make most of these functions only accessible by k_roulette.c
- Even when single items get forced into your roulette, the Super Ring Debt effect can happen
- Make the game support setting single items from other gametypes (Pogo Spring-only races work now)
- Fix some item distances not accounting for scale
- Prevent multiple of certain items from rolling at once; Shrinks (not a big deal) and SPBs (OH GOD NO)
The roulette contains NO (non-seeded) RNG anymore. You manually stop it at any time.
Still needs the visual of the items scrolling, to make it not blind.
Can be used to disable VFX, so it can only appear if its owner is a display player. If no owner is provided, then it will be removed entirely.
Applied to most things that Ivo asked for
