- 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.
- Fixes an issue where the card animation and the FINISH animation operating on two different timers, but using the same variable, would intefere with each other
- Also makes khud_fault use the same drawer, so it can benefit from interpolation
- 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.
* Set view context in the player HUD loop inside `ST_overlayDrawer()`.
* The HUD code now gets all interpolated camera data from the view context instead of half-heartedly recreating it.
* Move Lua HUDlib data to the view context system instead of an else ladder.
* View roll support in HUD tracking, because the other changes made this trivial.
* Remove old_viewrollangle as it is now redundant.
- Rename to Lightning Shield (it keeps fucking me up when I want to kartgiveitem it to myself)
- Fix inflictors causing damage being considered damage hitlag. Fixes the player using Lightning Shield being in damage hitlag state (most notable in the DI branch because hurting someone with it lets you DI afterwards, which also fucks with your turning)
- Rewrote attack function to use custom blockmap search instead of P_NukeEnemies.
- It can no longer attack below you, only above & around you.
- Increased the attack radius, so that it actually lines up with the sprites...
- Fixed extremely inconsistent ring blockmap search by moving it to playerafterthink (don't ask me why)
- Rings get joulsted by Lightning Shield when you pass by them without
- Added MAXRADIUS to the blockmap checks for lightning shield & mines, to reduce blockmap inconsistencies
* Rework HU_UpdatePatch to HU_UpdateOrBlankPatch with a "required" boolean.
* If desired graphic is not present in resources:
* If required is true, return `missingpat`.
* If false, return NULL as before (font compatibility).
* Add an alias with the previous function signature, so you don't need to add a million `true`s everywhere.
* Remove a ton of irrelevant graphics the game attempts to cache only because of code inherited from vanilla SRB2.
* Remove the unused hudinfo system, also inherited from vanilla SRB2.
* Replace the shitty vidwait option with Sal's shiny new fpscap option.
* Update the item toggles menu for all the new items (and re-enable shitsfree for the new empty spots).
* Fix majority of Battle resyncs.
* Change how Paperitem spawners work. Instead of rerolling the RNG if a map spot is already used, maintain a list of available spots...
* Correct over-the-network type of player->spheredigestion.
* Remove the condition that prevented the spheres' spawnpoints from being sent over the network, which meant they were only respawning on the host's end...
* Fix itemroulette on Battle playerarrow. (Rarely seen these days but still possible to observe as spectator for Break the Targets)
* Change draw order of Position Faces and Tab Rankings to allow for players' numbers to draw on top of the big out-of-bumpers X.
HUD:
* Miniaturised Spheres and Emeralds HUD for 3P/4P.
* Repair 3P minimap.
* Move accessibility icons in 3P/4P to next to the lap/bumper sticker (currently only kickstartaccel exists)
* Change language on menu retry to be more generalised.
* Adjust HUD code structuring a bit.
MECHANICAL:
* Now correctly set number of bumpers in Break the Capsules to 1 (from 3).
* The above required reworking K_SpawnBattleCapsules into K_BattleInit, which is a good staging ground to handle more battle-specific setup in future.
* Do not spawn Emeralds or Sphereboxes in Break the Capsules.
* If everyone is WANTED... nobody is.
* Try to handle exceptions to timelimits a little more thoroughly (still not perfect).
* Disable pointlimits in bosses.
* Add a little "ding" sound and HUD dorito bounce when your kickstartaccel reaches max, so you can let go of accelerate/know when you need to tap to stop.
* Make the name on top of the boss healthbar only show up once the titlecard is over.
* Properly reset boss healthbar fill between maploads.
