"cheats" is a proper cvar now. Enabling it allows for cheats to be used any time, even in multiplayer, and disables gamedata saving. Turning it off undoes as many cheat commands as reasonably possible. Based a little bit off of some vanilla work I also did.
Many cheat commands are still SP-only, but can reasonably be allowed in netgames now if a net command is created for them.
An explanation for the approach: I started writing a whole system where an extra pflag would be defined for "colour is not currently the player's ACTUAL colour". Then I looked at the actual code flow that would be affected by it - the single line guarded by `if (forcereset)` - and decided it was simpler to just do an extra write in this once-per-player-per-frame function instead of increasing across-the-board complexity.
- No more instant fuck you button. You charge up a meter instead by holding down attack, and let go to fire as many as you charged up. Tapping fires one out of five, holding for the entire duration shoots out all five like before, but anything inbetween is also possible.
- Ballhog projectiles scale up over time (like Contra spread shot), to help make it stronger again after players started getting faster.
Since your acceleration is tied to your top speed, we need to do this to ensure we're ONLY increasing the top speed, and not how fast they make it to that top speed.
- Reorganized bot traversal
- Blocking line traversal includes tripwire
- Next waypoint detection uses blocking line trace now (this means bots can't sit outside of a tripwire wanting to go through it)
An optimized error check was put into P_BlockThingsIterator for tmthing, but this meant that anything that was not using or even setting this variable (the supermajority of them) would exit after finding 1 thing in each block.
To keep this error check & keep it optimized, the PIT_ functions were expanded to three options instead of two: BMIT_CONTINUE lets the search continue. If used as the last mobj, it will return true when the iterator finishes. BMIT_ABORT ends the search and forces the iterator to return false.
BMIT_STOP ends the search and forces the iterator to return true.
* Allow colorisation types to not completely crowd each other out.
* For example, it's possible for invincibility + grow to flicker Invincibility, Eggman mark, and grow colours if the conditions for each type of flash are true on different frames!
