Previously it was using P_SetRandSeed, which sets both initial and current seed to the same thing, since it's meant for level load init. It first set all RNG seeds to the current seed, and then it set all of the seeds to their initial value. The comment about this just says its "stupid and hacky", and I have no idea how it even worked before.
Now we send over both init seed and current seed independently and set them both. Hopefully this will fix the desyncs.
* Instead of doing constant G_MapNumbers when finding the relationship between maps and cups...
* Add a cache of level IDs to cups, to go with the strings.
* Add a cache of the cup pointer to maps, so we don't have to search through all cups to find our map. (done in P_InitMapData)
* Pre-emptive work: G_IsSpecialStage and P_GetNextEmerald now reference cup data instead of a hardcoded ID set.
* Remove a bunch of old stuff from mapheaderinfo_t/associated, and reorder what stays
* Countdowntimer? 💥
* Startrings? 💥
* sstimer/ssspheres? 💥
* forcecharacter? 💥 (distinct from forceskin)
* interscreen? 💥
* sstage_start/end and smpstage_start/end? 💥💥💥💥
* You've been blocked
* G_MapNumber now returns a special NEXTMAP_INVALID if not found, for more consistent reference.
* Incorporate a good chunk of the `edit-headers` branch. Can't clear maps individually because of the new restrictions on sequential mapheaders, but we can add a "disable in vote screen, not even for map hell/archive" flag to a map at some future juncture for equivalent functionality...
Also:
- improved error prints for SOC condition definitions
- improved bounds checking to use `nummapheaders` for iterating over mapheaderinfo
There are still situations that use NUMMAPS like mapvisited, randmapbuffer, etc, which need to be addressed before merger.
- The pain + hit confirm delay is done for all players, instead of only the damaged player.
- The player who got the hit also gets to hear their pain sound at full volume.
- Changed the code so that your hit confirm sound effect will no longer be interrupted if the player who got hit left the game.
- `schedule_add <seconds> <command>` to add a command that runs on a recurring timer.
- `schedule_list` to print out all of the scheduled tasks.
- NEW: `schedule_clear` to revert the schedule to a blank slate.
- `schedule` cvar determines whenever or not to run the scheduled tasks. Unlike HOSTMOD, turning this off will reset the timers of the tasks, instead of freezing them.
- I did not implement HOSTMOD's ability to pick from several random command per scheduled task. Would drastically increase the code complexity when you can just use a choose command in your schedule_add for the exact same effect.
- No more instant fuck you button. You charge up a meter instead by holding down attack, and let go to fire as many as you charged up. Tapping fires one out of five, holding for the entire duration shoots out all five like before, but anything inbetween is also possible.
- Ballhog projectiles scale up over time (like Contra spread shot), to help make it stronger again after players started getting faster.
Makes slopes at a great enough steepness able to match the contrast of walls.
COMING SOON: Directional lighting & contrast modifier, as options for map header.
Pretty much just copy+pasted from Snap the Sentinel!!
- Hold left/right to adjust the momentum angle after hitlag, up to 22.5 degrees. (Only angle can be adjusted, so you can't adjust your speed, only your direction.)
- It's relative to your angle, so sometimes you need to use forward/back, or even diagonals (forward/back throws now store full analog data for this to work)
- Bananas flip DI direction, to make them not baby easy mode
- Tumble has x3 DI (so angle adjustments of 67.5!!), and hitlag on each bounce to allow even more control.
