- Introduce `menugametype`
- Controlled by IT_KEYHANDLER/M_HandleMenuGametype
- Excludes gametypes that do not support multiplayer by default
- GTR_CAPSULES and GTR_BOSS for now, but also user-specifiable GTR_NOMP
- Remove gametype_cons_t and G_UpdateGametypeSelections, an obstacle in the way of infinitely allocatable custom gametypes
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
Removes rooms, replaced with cv_advertise and "Advertise" on the host menu.
According to the new API, SRB2APPLICATION is sent instead of MODID. A contact
field was added, but there is no means of accessing it or setting it.
As a slight change, the server list will be populated even on an outdated
version of the game. (The new API was designed with this in mind.) The update
alert is still presented first of course.
Not complex because we aren't sending anything that isn't easily accessible via the Master Server anyway, just means we aren't sending plain-text IPs to Discord. Might be improved by basing the XOR key on other values (base RNG, maybe version) so that it's not like *right* there
