Notably REALTIME - prevents the timer stopping when you get hit, but also:
- Typing indicator
- Airtime tracking
- Kickstart accel
- No Contesting due to racecountdown
- Spectator data wipe
- Stronger preventative measure for possible finish line multi-hit events
It's been used interchangably as "this is a singleplayer gameplay context" and "This is a no cvar changing context". This addition repairs some behaviour which might have been inconsistent between netgame and netreplay.
- Implementation details:
- grandprixinfo.eventmode is the reference point
- All bots have spectator applied and removed at map start depending on eventmode, and I've done my best to guard against side effects of not removing them entirely
- You shouldn't turn off grandprixinfo.gp when turning on things like specialStage.active or bossinfo.boss when pursuing eventmode behaviour
- Probably needs to be integrated into XD_MAP for any future netplay support, is currently disabled.
- You technically don't have to assign a Capsules map to be the bonus and a Special Stage to be the special. A Capsules map can be assigned to a Special Stage too, and a Boss can be assigned to either of them.
- Special Stages are still just as incomplete as they were before.
- Break the Capsules has special behaviour.
- Timelimit starts at 20 seconds.
- Earn 10 seconds (plus a little extra cheaty time) every capsule you destroy.
- WIN + extra life if you bust all the capsules, COOL if you get some but run out of time, LOSE if you lose your bumper or run out of time without breaking a single capsule.
- Supposed to also give you rings, but ran into a LOT of difficulty with this and didn't want to commit half-baked stuff, so it'll be a later project.
Also:
- Fix a long standing bug where totalring was reset between maps, preventing the sum from adding up across GP rounds and depriving you of extra lives you were owed.
- Fix an issue where Break the Capsules record attack was KARTSPEED_HARD.
- Send timelimitintics in savegames, since it's handled seperately now.
- exitcountdown is now used for both No Contest and regular exits
- Set in P_DoPlayerExit
- Handles sending XD_EXITLEVEL in P_Ticker
- player->exiting is now 0 or 1 (we can make it a bool or a new timer later)
- Fixes a longstanding bug where failing a GP round could restart multiple times
Also:
- Fix a possible waiting-in-the-wings issue where mapchanges would occour client-side in K_CheckBumpers
- Add `gptest` cheat - sets numlaps to 1 lap on mapload for quick but legitimate(ish) progression
- Auto accel
- 800% acceleration
- 110% top speed
- Infinite tether like Lightning Shield
- Resists going upward on slopes
- Less friction
- Can always turn your sprite
- Turning speed does not get weaker at high speeds
- Turning speed is normal underwater
- Keeps moving in momentum direction, regardless of how
you turn
- Releasing a drift redirects all your momentum in that
direction
- Floats over bananas, damage sectors and offroad
- No stair janking while floating
- Hold drift for extra gravity. Not only does this fast
fall (this stacks with true fast falling), it builds
momentum down slopes too!
- Parries Big Players (Grow), Invincibility, Flame Shield
and, of course, other Tops -- all except if you're
grinding
- Wipes out anyone you touch
- Infinite weight like Bubble Shield
- Does not water skip
- Does not water run while holding drift
This is all the visual effects and item logic of the Top
minus (almost all [1]) physics adjustments when a player is
riding one.
While on a Top:
- Otherwordly humming while floating
- Cannot drift [1]. Instead, holding drift begins grinding
the Top into the ground -- sparks fly out
- Sprite tilts left and right as you turn
- No wheel screech when turning too far
- Speed lines while holding drift
- Tripwire Boost effect scales to cover you AND the Top
- One hit and you lose it
- Throwing forward, getting hit or just losing it because
you were in first place for too long: the Top flies out
from under you and begins snaking like crazy
- Throwing backward also makes the Top fly out from under
you but it also thrusts you forward. The Top dies
instantly so it's not dangerous ;-)
- If you're in first for too long, it begins vibrating
- If you tumble, it dances across your entire screen
A loose top will tumble anyone it hits.
* 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...
- Refactor significantly (now has its own func, `G_GetNextMap`)
- If gametype uses cups, iterate through cups to find the current level, then grab the next valid level
- If not, get the next valid mapheader for your gametype
- SOC `nextmap`/`marathonnext` is not just deprecated but REMOVED
- Hide the NEXTMAP_ constants again, but leave support dummied out for if we have them publically accessible again
- Also get rid of a bunch of OTHER mapheader stuff we're never gonna use
- NiGHTS Grades? NOPE
- Vanilla titlecard patches? NOPE
- Boss music fadeout/replacement? NOPE
- Select Heading? NOPE
- You've been blocked.
- Don't show maps without lumps on the level select list
- this is me being petty, but making it NOTIMEATTACK in SOC instead of TIMEATTACK so we can reconsider the maps with/without them.
