- The function is back to producing zone-allocated memory copies, like its precursor V_WordWrap
- The author of this commit got rid of that dependency originally because it seemed like a fair part of the API, and meant static buffers could be used in certain circumstances, but it was necessary to revert for the following change.
- Newlines can now be inserted mid-word, treating the width provided as ironclad except in the case of single characters wider than the region.
- This will be necessary for future work with the in-game chat.
- Reserves 8 characters at first, then Z_Reallocs double that every time it runs out.
Moves WordWrap to the font/V_GetFontSpecification system.
Much healthier long-term for our purposes, including the possibility of changing fonts for various contexts freely.
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
- Handle removing GP Backups when any game end sequence is started, not just the Podium (in case no Podium exists)
- Guarantee removal in M_StartCup out-of-entries failure state
- 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
- 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.
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.
Cvar was previously "eggmanmonitor" inherited from a completely different implementation of the item
Menu was previously "Eggman Mark", which was good inspiration but too unwieldy
Has been blended together per Gardentop and VC discussion
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++
I considered restricting it even further to "unlock every minor unlock that can be unlocked by a Chao Key", but decided that if you haven't "completed the game" yet, you should still be periodically reminded of it.
- Anti-tailgate measure for the SMK titlescreen recreation (prevents slots on the same row from being used immediately one after the other)
- Slightly reduce spinout chance since it felt too frequent
`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.)
