- Most R_SkinAvailable calls should be returning index into demo.skinlist (same numerical value as when demo was recorded), for demo sync
- A handful of general things permit exception for this
- Expose `replaynumskins` (calculated as `(demo.playback ? demo.numskins : numskins)`) to Lua
- There's *always* more that can be done for this, but this is the minimum spec that can at least be somewhat stable
- 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)
- A method to access Encore in Time Attack
- so we have SOME Encore singleplayer content on launch
- Also available for Versus mode (in Special Attack)
- Finally, Encore rematches have a way to access them!
- Obviously will not spawn a chasing SPB, it's just a signal for "hard mode"
- Relevant gametype + unlock checks have been abstracted into M_EncoreAttackTogglePermitted
- cursongcredit behaves the same as before
- Always compose song credit string
- g_realsongcredit always stores the song credit for the
current music, even if no song credit is displayed on
the HUD
As per many previous conversations, we need to enforce the UDMF
requirement now if we want to introduce a new hardware renderer in the
future. Requiring UDMF ensures that maps are always built with extended
nodes, which both solves vertex imprecision issues and ensures all
subsectors are closed, making writing a hardware renderer significantly
easier and less prone to subsector bugs.
- Spins and zooms around a center point
- Freezes the level while spinning
- Pans over to follow and object after spinning ends
- Timing and speed completely customizable
- 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.
