- Name buffers are the same size as everywhere else
- Billiards Cactus no longer gets cut short
- Long player names no longer get cut short
- System in place to allow easily changing the buffer
sizes across all the demo code
- `EncoreMusic` on mapheader
- Supports up to 3 alt musics, as with every other type
- Do not vape/nightcoreify if provided
- To avoid complicating the Alt Music logic too much, uses "side B" of the same Prison Egg CD
- That is to say, if there are 2 encore tracks and 3 normal tracks, the second Encore track will only play if you've gotten the CD associated with the second normal track
I haven't actually tested it *with* any Encore music, but I've triplechecked literally everywhere to make sure it didn't break standard play
- It is possible to have a circuit map separated into
sections, where there are multiple "laps" before making
a full loop
- Normally the lap count is used to multiply the finish
line distance, but it fails for these maps
- The LapsPerSection property fixes the calculation by
specifying how many laps make up a full loop
- Default = 1 lap (most maps)
- Prevents a map from appearing on the vote screen if
there are too many players
- LobbySize
- Duel - 2 players max
- Small - 5 players max
- Medium - 10 players max
- Large - 16 players max (default if not set)
- Future proofing
- Doesn't count bot players in gametypes that don't
support bots
Notable deletions:
- Metal Sonic Race
- Includes all the specialised recording/playback apparatus which made g_demo.c harder to read
- A bunch of hyperspecialised code inside several A_ actions
- EXCEPTION: intentfully left in the spriteless SMK stuff for Sal's add-on down the line.
All courses are restricted in Match Race/Time Attack/Online if not visited in GP UNLESS:
- It is the first Race Course of a Cup
- Course has "NoVisitNeeded = True`
- The Controls Tutorial and Test Run are the only two stages that will need this
The above replaces:
- A lot of restricted courses having to be marked with `FinishNeeded = True`
- Hidden Palace
- Sealed Stars 1-14
- Once Special Mode is unlocked, it will now be possible to practice Sealed Stars before rematching them in GP
- Almost all Tutorial-specific behaviour, since it was heinously hacky
HOWEVER, `FinishNeeded = True` was left in specifically for future releases, and I reserve the right to use it on Adventure Example again before launch.
- Always force a page seperation between the last core files cup and the first modded cup
- Lost and Found sits exactly between them
- If any cup on the last page of basegame is unlocked, place LnF on the last core page
- Else, LnF is the first "cup" on the first Modded page
- It's done this way so no Core material is spoiled if you haven't unlocked it yet. We want people to believe RR contains only 7 cups unless they go above and beyond
Also address Volt's bug report: Prevent the first page of cups from being overridden if everything is locked
- Controlled by M_CupSecondRowLocked
- Looks for any Cup with associated unlockable that's on the second row
- Cached on load for both relevant menus - Cupgrid and Challenges
- Custom cups will be stretched out onto more pages
- Side incentive of unlocking more material: Less annoying interactions with custom material
- Pages with nothing unlocked are completely skipped over
Also moves a bunch of minor things which previously used magic numbers to the CUPMENU_COLUMNS/CUPMENU_ROWS defines, for sanity
Resolves most of #772.
- Match maximum size of levels array to ROUNDQUEUE_MAX, to prevent edge cases
- Explicitly check that numLevels does not equal/exceed array size before writing
- Go to a MainCfg-specified map on its guessed gametype
- `TutorialChallengeMap = RR_ZonedCity`
- Some unique settings
- K_CanChangeRules() == false
- If GTR_CIRCUIT, make it Hard Speed
- If GTR_BUMPERS, die in one hit
- If GTR_BOTS, make them all difficulty 13 of the default bot skin
- No Medals or Spray Cans during the Tutorial Challenge
- Complete the stage in 1st place or don't bother at all
- Has the "Give up" menu option available, but no "Try Again"
- Condition for successfully completing the Tutorial Skip
- `Condition1 = TutorialSkip`
Related bugfixes:
- Correctly wipe skipstats when returning to the Title/menus
- Typing of `ultimatemode` (hey this isn't accessible by anything right now I wonder)
- Gametypes have "GPpic" and "GPpicMini" parameters
- These are shown in contexts where a Round Number would be shown in GP, but an eventmode is under way.
- Instead of having different rules to show up on the pause menu, titlecard, and tally/intermission...
- Pause Menu Roundqueue, Tally, and Intermission have all been aligned to the same rules.
- As long as the titlecard is standard, it will show the GP Pic per those rules. (GTR_SPECIALSTART and GTR_BOSS still have their unique behaviour here)
You have to destroy all objects of a certain list of types.
UNLIKE OTHER CHALLENGES, this is dependent on a mapheader parameter!!
The author of this commit just didn't want to create too laggy a condition check.
- `Condition1 = MapDestroyObjects RR_ESPRESSOLANE tables & chairs
- Map RR_ESPRESSOLANE
- DestroyObjectsForChallenges = MT_ESPTABLE,MT_ESPCHAIR
Determining whether a map or cup is unlocked or not is now linear-time.
- Attempted to cache SECRET_SKIN et al as well, but skins are loaded after unlocks... oh well.
- Was staring down the barrel of a triple-nested loop for implementing SECRET_ALTMUSIC, so did this first to set good precedent.
- If a follower with the specific Mystic Melody sound effect (DSMELODY) is used on the Shrine by a local player...
- Activates the shrine after two seconds!
- This is clientside only.
- Stores on the mapheaderinfo's mapvisited record
I would not be so heavy handed against preventing players from grabbing Spray Cans on custom levels, but designing a system that permits unloaded headers to retain their cans is frankly overkill. There are plenty of other ways the same kind of level-scouring play can be experienced on custom levels.
Instead of being specific to each level, Spray Cans are stored in a list on gamedata that will be stepped along each Spray Can you collect.
They are only assigned to a level on collection - which prevents you from farming the same easy location for every colour in the game.
In addition, this new system is one step short of dehardcoding them entirely. Now only Spray Cans specifically asked for by the existence of UC_SPRAYCAN will be put in the list, and if a secondary parameter is either "Yes" or "True", it will be put at the head of the list. This could technically support custom skincolours one day, but the author of this commit doesn't care to do the last bit of work necessary to make it happen.
There's a slight extra overhead in that skincolor_t now also holds a `cache_spraycan` (renamed from `cachedcan`, which maps had previously)
Currently, there's no safeguard against grabbing it on a custom course - you'll lose the Spray Can as soon as you load a fresh game again - but I consider that easy to fix (tomorrow) and necessary before merger, because the author of this commit does NOT want complaints on release because we forgot to protect users who keep on losing their skincolors.
