Most of this work was completed last year by Sal.
- JT_INVINCIBILITY
- JT_GROW
Future work:
- Actually use the S_RecallMusic system (for some reason it doesn't play nice so had to disable it)
- For players interacting with terrain:
- If a terrain is tagged with offroad, only use footstep if player is being slowed by it
- If a player is not on terrain with footsteps but is being slowed down, use default footsteps as a substitute
This matches behaviour of the previous entry in the series, which was good for communicating the gameplay functionality of being slowed down.
MAXRADIUS was previously an arbitrary value id Software set as whatever their biggest object would be (which they broke that rule anyway). It is now the radius of a blockmap block, which should be a large enough of a nudge value to handle all cases. (Still don't recommend making objects any bigger than a Spider Mastermind though.)
- Random & Sphere Items are x3 bigger.
- Eggman Items grow to x3 bigger when they land.
- Eggman Item hitbox reverted from 24 to 16 again, since the x3 size increases their hitbox even more anyway.
- Random item temporarily moved to 2011 and 2000 objects ignored, as per Ivo's request.
The idea behind this branch is to start turning tons of item clusters into single file item rows with only a few items per. The original intent was to make 9P+ more bearable by making item sets no longer free, but in a way that's engaging & takes thought. This does eliminate one of the reasons I had originally standardized MK64-style clusters, but honestly no one really hides eggman items anymore :P
I'm not totally confident that this will make massive netgames enjoyable on its own, but it's one step towards that and this change has a lot of other benefits as well like less clutter and better visibility.
Due to the mapthing type shuffle, this needs to be tested on a few maps with changed item sets, and then swap it back before merging.
