Currently just plays the squishy "nope" sound for "KICK PLAYER?", all others are functional
Shows whether vote is active or the cooldown is too recent (via numerical timer) as reasons for why you can't select it
- Only calls callback if you're the server (and not demo.playback, forward thinking for stored xcmd netreplays)
- G_GamestateUsesExitLevel() for homogenising the conditions that permit XD_EXITLEVEL to be dispatched and recieved
- Now actually from the relevant GP difficulty's Cupgrid, instead of the top-level Play choice
- Permits a much cleaner M_StartCup, combining two of the previously four copypasted, slightly modified level startup regions (which could be further combined for sanity's sake, but would take a LITTLE more work right now than I have in me)
- Shows a funny exclamation mark from Sonic Rush on the relevant cup on the grid
- Selected by default when loading the menu, if appropriate
The author of this commit ran into an issue while testing previous changes where a Menu Message had MM_NOTHING but a Yes and No string, leading to misleading appearances. This prevents that footgun from happening again.
- Re-saved every time you lose a life, to prevent scumming
- Force-deletion of your backup has changed
- Don't when saying NO to the GP Backup load prompt
- Don't when returning to titlescreen under non-DEVELOP
- DO when starting a new Grand Prix session of any cup
- Permits the use of the existing K_HandleMenuMessage MM_YESNO system, instead of the faked previous implementation
- Removes the "cl_requestmode" hack
- The only area of the game that fakes handling Menu Messages is the title screen, now, due to the lack of guarantees for menu inputs.
- *Also* permits Screenshots and video/lossless Recordings to be started/ended on this menu.
- M_StopMessage is now in charge of setting the answer to a given prompt.
- Menu Messages can now be dismissed on the title screen, instead of carried into the top-level menu transition.
- Have special message if cheats are enabled (it previously falsely said you could still save)
- Cleaner internal handling
- Always take you back to the title screen
Since it's a user-facing feature and not a speedrunner's assistant...
- If an issue is discovered, make a CONS_Alert instead of a complete failure and let the user know
- Replaces the unhelpful error of "Savegame %s corrupted"
- Store skins and cups as strings, not IDs
- Permits playing with differing mod loadouts if everything important is still loaded
- Won't error for bots having not-loaded skins - those are converted into Eggrobos.
- Instead of storing full roundqueue data, rebuild from the cup and check if the important details match
- Prevents having to include map name strings
- Add minor version to GP backups
- Permits more flexibility in future
Slicker, prevents the issue where a transition after pressing accept on a prompt would be instant.
Also guarantees M_StopMessage is called even for MM_NOTHING, even with a custom routine.
- Now called "Grand Prix Backup"
- Filename is now `gpringsav.bkp`
- Since available in standard contexts, do a little extra guarding against unsporting behaviour:
- In non-DEVELOP builds, delete Grand Prix Backup when returning to the titlescreen/menus.
- "undo your extra work and make it more generic" - Tyron
Associated menu stuff is rough and unpolished, but it's 1am for the author of this commit.
- Activated for this session by either of the following Passwords.
- `savetheframes`
- `savetheanimals`
- The idea is that if Ring Racers were ever ran at a GDQ, runners would swear their alliegance to a particular Metroid routing at the startup stage, because I think it's funny and cute.
- A live event backup is created/overwritten on non-cheated grandprix level change.
- It's wiped on reaching the podium.
- When hitting PLAY on the main menu, if a live event backup exists, make a Menu Message.
- If you hit A, turn live event backups on for this session, and load the backup.
- If you hit B/X, delete the backup and proceed to character select.
- Done this way to avoid cheating a different character to the end of GP.
- Unlike the (maybe a little over-)engineering of ringdata.dat, liveringbak.bkp is streamlined as all hells and has very little recovery for differing file lists.
