- Player arrows now show if a player is in the item roulette
- Boo has been improved, and added back to Battle's item roulette
- The CHECK HUD item is now more accurate, and should appear more often
- Early comeback mechanic. Functional, but really unpolished
- Attempted (again) to make the first player to join in a netgame spawn
with balloons
- No longer shows respawn text on death
- Different sizes for the balloons, depending on how many you have
- Balloons are fullbright, cast shadows, and stick closer to players
- Mega Mushrooms can now appear
- Can steal items with Boo in Battle Mode now, as intended
- Death pits make you lose only 1 balloon
- Balloons disappear properly if you use Boo
- Boo item icon should no longer appear if you're out of balloons
- You can now properly respawn in Battle Mode
- Can no longer collide with items if you are already holding one
* Add a default behaviour to followmobj (just basic A_CapeChase).
* Allow for modifying which character starting a new SP game should start you on, relative to the first valid character. (SOC's "startchar" variable)
* Make MF2_SHADOW transferrable via linkdraw.
* Modify P_GetSkinSprite2's recursion limiter to have zero chance of ever infinitely looping.
NiGHTS Paraloop-special emblems
Implemented the two NiGHTS Emblem types in the TUDD via var modifications to ET_GLOBAL!
* GE_NIGHTSPULL (for it to chase you once paralooped) - Sun emblem
* GE_NIGHTSITEM (for hidden until paralooped) - Moon emblem
* Combined means that you essentially have to loop it twice.
Also, revamped NIGHTSITEM to suck a little less (and have more compatibility with MT_EMBLEM).
Check out root/!LatestSRB2Files/srb2win_branch_nightsemblems.exe with the latest patch.dta, along with root/toaster/nightstest.soc for a sample in GFZS.
See merge request !94
* Improve the code for busting vertical spikes.
* Improve the frame arrangement for vertical spikes' spriteset. (Requires new patch.dta)
* Make all spikes consistently do damage with DMG_SPIKE.
* (unrelated) renamed "flame stomp" to "elemental stomp" in P_HitDeathMessages
-------
Lakitu returns from his ironically-not-pillowshaded-cloud grave
Dropboosting works on respawn
Players respawn "automatically after 2 seconds" instead of "*instantaneously* while accel is held"
Or rather, I killed anything to do with the old background orb, renamed all "EMMY" stuff to "TOKEN", and of course adjusted the new S_TOKEN accordingly
****
* MF2_MACEROTATE. Apply to any object. Replaces the indiscriminate spamming of A_MaceRotate each tic.
****
* Mace point mapthings have been slightly modified.
- MTF_AMBUSH: bigger luke theory (has no effect on custom mace, different effect on spring mace)
- MTF_OBJECTFLIP: flips the objects, but nothing else - just so it doesn't look out of place in gravflip sections
- MTF_OBJECTSPECIAL: keeps it from attempting to play swinging sounds
- angle: tag of controlling linedef
- parameter: number of "spokes" minus one - for example, a parameter of 2 results in 3 equidistant maces rotating around the same point.
****
* Mace linedefs have been significantly revamped.
- line dx: number of chain links
- line dy: speed (in FU)
- frontside floor height: Pitch (in degrees; how much it "tilts" over - Yaw influences the axis it's tilting on)
- frontside ceiling height: Yaw (in degrees; rotation of entire thing on xy plane)
- frontside x offset: Phase (in degrees; how far it is through the rotation cycle)
- frontside y offset: Max speed (in FU; if less than speed, set to speed*2)
- backside floor height: Pinch (in degrees; 0 if no backside; essentially makes rotation conical instead of wheel-like)
- backside ceiling height: Roll (in degrees; 0 if no backside; rotates on the axis of the spinning - identical to Phase for spinning maces, but useful for rotating swinging maces as opposed to just offsetting them)
- backside x offset: Number of "antispokes" (0 if no backside; makes that many spokes not exist so you can put another mace/chain type in there instead; for combo mace/chain instead turns them into chains directly)
- backside y offset: Width (in number of extra chains per side; 0 if no backside; creates a "skiprope" arrangement)
----
- ML_NOCLIMB: for chains and chain-mace combos, allow for player control of yaw through strafe keys
- ML_EFFECT1: replacing the seperate mapthings, this makes a mace type swing instead of spin.
- ML_EFFECT2: for all spokes of the mace wheel ending in maces, make the chains out of the mace type (inverted for firebars)
- ML_EFFECT3: spawn a bonus mace type at the center(s) of rotation
- ML_EFFECT4: don't clip inside ground
****
* Mapthing 1104 represents both spinning and swinging maces from prior versions of SRB2.
* Mapthing 1105 has gone from being a swinging mace variant to a combination of chains and maces in a single unit, provided the number of "spokes" is greater than one.
* Mapthing 1105 has gone from being a swinging chain variant to a vertical spring-on-a-ball-on-a-chain. Yellow by default, apply MTF_AMBUSH to turn into a red spring.
* Mapthing 1107 represents both spinning and swinging chains from prior versions of SRB2.
* Mapthing 1108 is completely untouched except to port over 2.1's functionality to the new backend.
* Mapthing 1109 is a Mario castle-level style firebar. This inverts the functionality of ML_EFFECT2 on the tagged linedef.
* Mapthing 1110 is a free slot should we want to implement another type of base-game mace.
* Mapthing 1111 is a custom mace. Use the linedef's frontside texture slots to identify a macetype mobjtype, then use the backside texture slots to identify a linktype mobjtype (defaults to MT_NULL if no backside).

Whooh. Requires new patch.dta for sprites.
* GE_NIGHTSPULL (for it to chase you once paralooped) - Sun emblem
* GE_NIGHTSITEM (for hidden until paralooped) - Moon emblem
Combined means that you essentially have to loop it twice.
Also, revamped NIGHTSITEM to suck a little less (and have more compatibility with MT_EMBLEM).
* Lock on targets bob now, and are used for CA_HOMINGTHOK and SH_ATTRACT as well.
* Flag stuff is now animated like it was designed to be but which was kinda messed up.
* Cork sounds.
* P_SpawnLockOn(player_t player, mobj_t lockon, statenum_t state) for Lua.
* Added homing/firing CA2_GUNSLINGER stuff at egg guard shields.
* Fixed homing stuff wrt egg guard shields and sea egg balloons.
* Fixed attract orb goin' gold when doing a CA_HOMINGTHOK homing ability.
* Fixed positioning of player during homing attack.
* Cleaned up lockon spawn code.
*P_LookForEnemies is now side-effect-less and only provides a pointer to the found mobj
*player-jumping is dead, long live PF_STARTJUMP
*per Mystic's request, CA2_GUNSLINGER has a targeting icon. It also has a more restricted vertical aiming range.
*mobj for this is in the game as requested
*fast teetering animation flag
*general code cleanup
* CA2_MELEE/CA_TWINSPIN combination abilities (ground hit, somersalt) disabled.
* Enabled movement controls whilst using CA2_MELEE in the air.
* CA2_GUNSLINGER no longer requires charging. In exchange, it involves a cooldown in which you can't move.
* CA2_GUNSLINGER lock-on distance improved, and aiming allowance reduced to compensate.
* Lots of cleanup/gravflip allowances for homing/targeting code.
* Unrelated: Flickies now properly face the direction they're supposed to when getting knocked out of the egg capsule.
* Unrelated: Thok trail fades like spindash trail now.
* Unrelated: Using CA_HOMINGATTACK when nowhere near an enemy uncurls you.
* Mildly hacky proof of concept! Will de-hack later.
* Charge up your ability!
* You can only damage others if it's at full power.
* Fires directly at enemies/bosses when at full power. Does NOT aim at players.
* Melee now has a proper weightiness to it with a landing frame.
* If you have twinspin too, do a somersalt when running and hitting the melee button.
* If you have melee, go into the melee landing frame when twinspinning into the ground.
* Speaking of, actively enforced not being able to be Super and NiGHTS at the same time.
* Also on that note - SPR2_TRNS is now the NiGHTS transformation. The Super transformation is (FF_SPR2SUPER|SPR2_TRNS).
* SPR2_NPAN is now SPR2_NSTN, since it matches Super Sonic's stun animation rather than the pain animation.
* Fixed a bunch of things where Super float was handled badly with 2AM brain.
* Fixed the R_ProjectSprite error going out of spr2names' bounds.
* Fixed order of FF's in dehackéd.
* Fixed that thing where Super Sonic was blue for 1 tic after transformation, and the life icon was a blue Super Sonic.
* Super sprites are now deliniated via an additional S_SUPER lump between S_START and S_END. Above are normal sprites, below are super sprites. Handled internally via FF_SPR2SUPER.
* Sprite2 numbers are now appropriately limited for the data type that stores them.
* SPR2_SPIN is now SPR2_ROLL, SPR2_DASH is now SPR2_SPIN and SPR2_PEEL is now SPR2_DASH. Makes more sense, right?
