* 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()`.
- Only show lap count and gamespeed on rankings if GTR_CIRCUIT
- Adjust offsets for speedometer/accessability icons with GTR_BUMPERS|GTR_SPHERES
- Only show Karma on Bumpers hud with GTR_KARMA
- Permit battle fullscreen without GTR_KARMA
- Make the Break The Capsules roulette show up with GTR_CAPSULES, not absence of GTR_CIRCUIT
- Don't push Break The Capsules roulette to the item list twice
- Make the special mode switching of int_battle happen for all instances of int_battle, not just GT_BATTLE
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
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)
- Precache M_NOLVL.
- Make all width calculations relative to a lump 320 pixels wide, to make outdated map thumbnails much, MUCH more visible.
- Add K_DrawLikeMapThumbnail to draw a 320x200 patch like a map thumbnail (currently used only for RANDOMLVL).
- Half the scale of the item graphics, and reduce the spacing, so more of the reel can fit in one column.
- Move the item table text over to the right, depending on how many columns were drawn.
- Display the item roulette speed, as well.
- Handles map thumbnail drawing in a way agnostic to patch size
- Specify a desired final width in pixels `<< FRACBITS`, not a scale - more specific for our incoming varied purposes.
- Encore and voting screen Random have to be handled externally
- Put in k_hud.c because I'm not sure where would be most appropriate snd it works well enough, can be moved later
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.
Instead of the absolute insanity that is V_DrawCroppedPatch, which makes you specify the number of pixels to crop off the top/left and then the number of pixels to show after the crop ... you just use V_SetClipRect to create a rectangle for any future draws to be cropped down to, and V_ClearClipRect afterwards to clear it.
Currently only supported by V_DrawStretchyFixedPatch. Ideally other drawing functions should also receive clipping rectangle support too.
* Icon selection
* You can use up, down, left, right, etc to select icons on the Challenges menu
* The text at the top changes based on the highlighted icon
* This text is now ??? if not yet unlocked
* Uses the border for character rank icons
* Challenges are now accessible on the Extras menu alongside Addons and Replay Hut.
* Previously there was a "Extras Checklist" dummy which did nothing when selected
* Now I won't have to clear my gamedata every time I want to check this menu!
* M_ChallengeGridExtraData's array is modified to now contain specific info on whether a given tile is connected to above or left (or both).
A small piece of (STJr/SRB2!1756).
Due to how RR currently handles time attack records and how it WILL handle unlocks, it's not currently feasible to split everything such that you can have two independent gamedata_t... but what's done so far is certainly more sane and less dependent on global variables
Other minor refactors:
- M_UpdateUnlockablesAndExtraEmblems and M_SilentUpdateUnlockablesAndEmblems are now one function with a boolean for loudness
- Unlock prints are currently living in the console, since the cecho stuff was a little broken
Notable new features:
- Guaranteed native compatibility with SF_IRONMAN even with differing # of skins
- Bots (todo: can still desync midway through round)
Implementation details:
- Demo code (skins):
- Instead of writing a skin name string, and the player's kartspeed, kartweight, and charflags for each player in the initial player-interpreting loop...
- Write a skinlist of EVERY skin's name string, kartspeed, kartweight, and flags next to the file list, to be read into `demo.skinlist`.
- If the skin name isn't loaded, find the skin with (in order)
- SF_IRONMAN if your skin had SF_IRONMAN, since that's more important to signal
- the closest stats otherwise (as per previous implementation)
- Just as tolerant to stats AND the number of base skins changing between versions (the bonuschars aegis situation)
- Not tolerant to restat, but we can add a DXD or EZT later if we want to natively support that kind of mod
- In the initial loop and DXD_SKIN, just write an index that can be used for `demo.skinlist`, and store it in `demo.currentskinid[p]`
- The player's skin is now encoded as EZT_IRONMAN for ghosts (and just in case RNG sync fails for unrelated reasons)
- In the SF_IRONMAN code when demo.playback is true
- everywhere where `skins[player->skin]` is referenced instead uses an index into `demo.skinlist`
- SetRandomFakePlayerSkin uses the `demo.skinlist` to build a table to ensure exact random call parity
- Also means it no longer double rejection-samples.
- `player->fakeskin` and `lastfakeskin` are always == their original recording values, a skin id which can be used into `demo.skinlist`
- Demo code (playstate, initial player setup loop):
- Add bot flag (`DXD_PST_ISBOT`, `DEMO_BOT`)
- Add in-between-level botvars (difficulty, diffincrease, rival)
- Don't rely on `PF_WANTSTOJOIN` to activate
Additional bugfixes:
- Followerskin set to -1 in CL_ClearPlayer so a bad follower isn't recorded on player join without name and color change arriving immediately
- Accomodate new joiners in demo code even if they're not on DXD_PST_SPECTATING for one reason or another
- Demo extra file list saving is now its own function for code cleanliness
- Actually only modify players relevant to the demo at the end of G_DoPlayDemo, not all 16 by supplying and overwriting garbage values (POSSIBLE MEMORY CORRUPTION FIX, mobj_t pointer was previously dereferenced)
This is instead of their flung body, which drifts significantly from where you died and muddies the "LOL YOU DIED THAT CLOSE TO THE FINISH!?" voicecall laughter moments
- Play a countdown sound (same as introcountdown) per each of the last 3 seconds
- Jitter the time display HUD extra strong in a two-tic window around the above
- Fix timelimitintics not being set in TESTOVERTIMEINFREEPLAY builds (which is now all DEVELOP builds)
- Battle Capsules for Break The Targets, to improve conveyability
- No Contest players have a special X icon
Also fixes a few issues with minimap rendering
- obviously written before netsplits and bots
- mixing up array indices and loop iteration for local players
- mixing up SPB object and target
- old version of hyudoro with double time in Race
- using explicit gametype comparisons instead of gametype rules
- SPBs with hitlag disappeared from the minimap
Also reduces some of the dead time before Break The Capsules begins by cutting out the majority of POSITION!! and hiding the one measly bulb that would otherwise appear
