Associated menu stuff is rough and unpolished, but it's 1am for the author of this commit.
- Activated for this session by either of the following Passwords.
- `savetheframes`
- `savetheanimals`
- The idea is that if Ring Racers were ever ran at a GDQ, runners would swear their alliegance to a particular Metroid routing at the startup stage, because I think it's funny and cute.
- A live event backup is created/overwritten on non-cheated grandprix level change.
- It's wiped on reaching the podium.
- When hitting PLAY on the main menu, if a live event backup exists, make a Menu Message.
- If you hit A, turn live event backups on for this session, and load the backup.
- If you hit B/X, delete the backup and proceed to character select.
- Done this way to avoid cheating a different character to the end of GP.
- Unlike the (maybe a little over-)engineering of ringdata.dat, liveringbak.bkp is streamlined as all hells and has very little recovery for differing file lists.
A general purpose system that permits cacheing of GP progression in one place, but which permits future expansion and brings Online GP a little closer to reality.
- Stores a bunch of levels, gametypes, encore state, and restricted-by-rank-ness in sequence.
- Initialised on GP cup select.
- FUTURE WORK: Open to being initialised by other methods
- Digests its way through that sequence as maps are completed.
- Stores round number instead of `grandprixinfo`.
- Map commands as sent over the wire have been adjusted.
- Sends round number and size of/position in roundqueue.
- Now figures out GP Event Type from gametype.
- Can be swung in the direction of a Special Stage with a hint flag.
- This hint flag replaces "fromlevelselect", which was functionally vestigal.
Fixes exploiting retries after finishing in good standing
to farm lives and rank. These are now applied when you can
no longer retry.
Extra life sound effect still plays as soon as you finish
the race.
- Move ranking to its own file.
- gpRank (the variable) -> g_gpRank
- gpRank (the struct) -> gpRank_t
- Functions that worked on the global directly now take a pointer to a struct
- Fixed total ring increment
- Fixed final lap's lapPoints being discarded
- Capsules are now added when exiting with the rest of the stuff
Before we can add extra unlock features, we need to make sure we're not building on a house of sand.
- R_SkinUsable: Use Net Unlock system if playernum is -1
- R_BotDefaultSkin: Move to r_skins.c, cache skin search
- R_GetSkinAvailabilities: Use Net Unlock when called for bots (and always permit R_BotDefaultSkin)
- Got_AddBot: Call R_GetSkinAvailabilities for summoned bots to guarantee sync status of available skins
- K_UpdateMatchRaceBots: Tidy up to match grand prix bot skin selection system, hiding server-locked skins and defaulting to R_BotDefaultSkin if you don't have enough unlocked for the remaining player slots
It's been used interchangably as "this is a singleplayer gameplay context" and "This is a no cvar changing context". This addition repairs some behaviour which might have been inconsistent between netgame and netreplay.
- Implementation details:
- grandprixinfo.eventmode is the reference point
- All bots have spectator applied and removed at map start depending on eventmode, and I've done my best to guard against side effects of not removing them entirely
- You shouldn't turn off grandprixinfo.gp when turning on things like specialStage.active or bossinfo.boss when pursuing eventmode behaviour
- Probably needs to be integrated into XD_MAP for any future netplay support, is currently disabled.
- You technically don't have to assign a Capsules map to be the bonus and a Special Stage to be the special. A Capsules map can be assigned to a Special Stage too, and a Boss can be assigned to either of them.
- Special Stages are still just as incomplete as they were before.
- Break the Capsules has special behaviour.
- Timelimit starts at 20 seconds.
- Earn 10 seconds (plus a little extra cheaty time) every capsule you destroy.
- WIN + extra life if you bust all the capsules, COOL if you get some but run out of time, LOSE if you lose your bumper or run out of time without breaking a single capsule.
- Supposed to also give you rings, but ran into a LOT of difficulty with this and didn't want to commit half-baked stuff, so it'll be a later project.
Also:
- Fix a long standing bug where totalring was reset between maps, preventing the sum from adding up across GP rounds and depriving you of extra lives you were owed.
- Fix an issue where Break the Capsules record attack was KARTSPEED_HARD.
- Send timelimitintics in savegames, since it's handled seperately now.
- Instead of picking over numskins and adjust the number if it picks an already used skin, build and shuffle a list of allowed skins and pick over that instead.
- Fixes some issues with increased weighting towards the skins immediately after your rivals' skins.
- Use PR_RULESCRAMBLE instead of PR_UNDEFINED.
- Why am I doing it in this branch? I'm getting re-acquainted with how bots are handled between matches in advance of disabling them for bonus events without losing or corrupting data.
