* 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.
- Name each frame either SPR2_**** or SUPER**** (where **** is the 4-character name)
- If the name is 3 characters, '.' is accepted as a substitute for the '_', but a space/absent isn't (for tool-related reasons).
- Adds a big sprite2 index array to all models, even non-player ones. Sorry!
* Made MD2 frame interpoleration only work across the same spriteset (and sprite2set).
* Made MD2 frame interpoleration happen when there's less than a quarter of a second between frames, as opposed to the hardcoded specific animation disabling.
* Fixed sprite2-related typo in dehacked.c.
* Refactor of the unbundling to not involve modifying the next/prev links.
* Make the booleans in vissprite_t use flags stored in sprite->cut instead.
* Make the linkdrawn sprites much more linked - ie, same brightness (unless independently fullbright), same colormap, and don't draw if the tracer isn't being drawn.
* Other minor corrections.
Of particular note: Standing in shallow pools of water as Smiles will now reliably associate the bottom half of the tails following mobj with the underwater portion of Smiles' body, and the flicking ends with his un-submerged head.
Deliberately engineered to only affect objects with MF2_LINKDRAW applied.
-Folders aren't loaded as lumps anymore
-Can now load an arbitrary number of TEXTURES lumps in PK3s. Name them textures.gfz, textures.thz, ..., for example.
-Now can load map WAD files inside Maps/ directory, but they must only contain map data explicitly!
Known problems:
-There's an issue causing a crash with palettes and colormaps in PK3s.
-SS_START and SS_END don't work now. Will check later.
-Standalone lumps for maps in the Maps/ folder don't work anymore; perhaps I should keep that functionality?
Notes:
-It's now a mashup of something dumb that I wanted to do and yet piling hacks again.
-A lot of code duplicity with map lump loading functions.
-Expanded folder recognition for PK3s. Some resources are still not loaded from them yet.
-Took a glimpse at how maps are loaded, since the flat recognition is rooted somewhere there; did nothing yet about it though.
-Working towards "generalizing" how new resources are handled. Some var and functionality redundancy is still present.
--------
Driftboost formula changed to:
49 + player->kartspeed*2;
(No longer factors weight from previous version)
Collision code now factors character weight for players.
Collision code now only plays the collision sound once, rather than per player.
Weight now factors into drifting's base value. A heavier character will drift more straight with no input and have less control.
Added a cheat check in SetPlayerSkinByNum(), to force speed and weight within the boundaries of 1 and 9.
Nerfed orange turbo to 50 frames, down from 60.
* Made it so (player->availabilities & 1 << skinnum) is only true if skins[skinnum] DOES have an availability method, and always false otherwise.
* This means that setting your availabilities to INT32_MAX is no longer the equivalent of having gotten all skins.
* This means we can detect and kick cheat engine script kiddies who try to fool the server that they can use everything.
* This means availabilities of 0x00 is now valid, so make it all F's for an invalid not-in-game.
