- Clean up handling of goner_levelworking to retry current dialogue if something changes gamedata->gonerlevel
- Create wrapper func for resetting ALL text
- Gamedata-modifying cheats will set to GDGONER_DONE
- More dialogue
- Restrict access to your choices based on your progress through the Goner Setup.
- Save progress through the setup to gamedata
- Resets to beginning when Challenges is cleared
- Passwords
- Only permit the password entry in like the first two seconds
- Preemptively disarms potentially annoying people in stream chats
- Make wrongwarp also quit the game on exit instead of returning to the title screen
- Add GDQ cheats
- `savetheanimals`
- `savetheframes`
- Both do practically the same thing, with slightly modified dialogue.
- Skips all of the normal dialogue.
- Performing a social experiment on anyone who might stream this game at a charity event. :)
- There's a freeze cheat bool to freeze everything except for players.
- There's a level freeze bool to freeze literally everything.
- There's a frozen bool on mobj_t to explicitly control freeze status on an object.
- No need to call CV_RegisterVar
- Cvar definitions live in only one file, easier to locate
- Organized into sections -- netvars, cheats, etc.
- Use builder pattern to initialize cvars
- Still need to extern if you want to read the cvar value
- Fix the last few bugs I could find with thing args
- Move version update code
- Rename internal variables to `thing_[string]args` to make older code merge issues more obvious
SRB2 uses a LOT of mapthing args compared to Hexen (which has none) and ZDoom (which only has them on objects that will never ever activate scripts). So we really badly needed to separate the two if we want attaching scripts to things to be useful.
(This commit does not compile. Sound test and tunes
command code needs to be ported after this.)
This is a big one. Here's the rundown:
The old music system was very direct, much of the time
just a proxy to the real sound API in i_sound.h.
You could change the music on command, but there wasn't
a consistent way to prevent some music from playing over
others. P_RestoreMusic is one example of needing to
address this problem. The jingles system was intended as
another solution. Furthermore, sound test (Stereo) has its
own needs.
I am removing all of that. Music handling in general is
now a very deliberate system, kind of similar to jingles.
In the new system, "tunes" are registered. The tune stores
info such as whether it should loop or fade out. Most of
the configuration is intended to be initialized only ONCE.
Tunes can be mapped to an actual music lump. They can be
remapped at any time too.
Tunes are also configured with a priority number. This
determines which tune is heard, if multiple are supposed
to be playing at a time. You can even tell a tune how long
it should play, so it's unnecessary to track this with
bespoke timers.
- 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
- 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.
Immense 25-file diff, so spun off into its own branch.
- Improved appearance
- Not just a big block of text on a blue background
- Well, OK, the main part is, but some stuff has been spun out into its own fields
- Title text
- Text and button prompt for Yes/No or OK
- Slides with pow on and off the screen
- Disabled MM_EVENTHANDLER, which has always been dog but got considerably worse after newmenus to the point nothing's using it anymore
- Required in order to reduce the reliance on FUNCPTRCAST, which prevents Eidolon from compiling some stuff because it's not valid C++
`banana` was the cheat for the previous entry in the series.
Visuals are incomplete but I have to go out in a little bit and the bulk of it is done
(The Tournament mode cheat's password is "placeholder" for now.)
- Type in anything you want
- On closing the field, if a cheat sequence is matched *exactly*, activate it!
- Directly hooked up to a modified form of the previously existing SCRAMBLE interpreter system in m_cheat.c
- The existing cht_Responder call in D_ProcessEvents is gone
- Done this way because the new input paragadim is not very friendly to unqualified keyboard/controller input, and we still want text
- Plenty of opportunity to add fun future passwords in addition to the currently underbaked Tournament Mode
- Got a debug M_StartMessage just so you can tell what's up without sound
Made sure there is more than enough headroom for our current purposes.
It should be easy to double again if necessary now that the datatypes have been increased... but that would be obscene at this point
- 1024 Unlockables and 1024 Conditions (these were always tied together in slots)
- 2048 emblems (Medals + nonmedals). If we ship with ~250 maps this permits 8 Medals per map - which is higher than we intend right now but could easily fill out in patches
Old syntax with -x, -y, -z, -ang, -aim parameters is
simply replaced with 3 argument syntax like rteleport.
Before - teleport -x 100 -y 50 -z 25
After - teleport 100 50 25
The lost angle, aiming and star post features can be added
back in separate commands.
A small piece of (STJr/SRB2!1756).
Due to how RR currently handles time attack records and how it WILL handle unlocks, it's not currently feasible to split everything such that you can have two independent gamedata_t... but what's done so far is certainly more sane and less dependent on global variables
Other minor refactors:
- M_UpdateUnlockablesAndExtraEmblems and M_SilentUpdateUnlockablesAndEmblems are now one function with a boolean for loudness
- Unlock prints are currently living in the console, since the cecho stuff was a little broken
