-------
Braking no longer stops on a dime, and instead reduces your speed input. The effect is different between braking and accelerating at the same time, and braking on its own.
Increased 'driftweight' to player->kartweight*14, up from player->kartweight*12.
Changed the base drift curve formula from a range of 447 - 303, to 415 - 303. This will result in a very slightly wider drift arc at low weights. This does not effect the strength of steering while drifting.
Drifting without holding a direction now has a bonus of 0.5 frames, up from 0.
Added kartweight to the required number of drift frames, at half value. Lighter characters take up to 4 additional frames to earn blue sparks, 8 for orange.
-------
Accelcode now factors in forwardmove value rather than a boolean. This is used to enable clutching (or whatever you call it; accel+brake) to give its own result.
Fixed Thwomps killing players rather than crushing them.
Reverted buggy collision experiment from previous version.
-------
Reverted drift timer to 52 + player->kartspeed;
Reduced weight's effect on neutral drifting by 10%
Reduced weight's effect on collision by 50%
*EXPERIMENTAL*: Inverted collision's x and y. This should shunt players to the side instead of bump them forward?
--------
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.
-------
Changed the drift spark formula from:
51 + player->kartspeed;
To:
43 + player->kartspeed*2 + (10 - player->kartweight);
This allows an extreme heavy/accel to get sparks more often than an extreme light/speed character. Other extremes should be roughly where they were before.
--------
Hardcoded Collide.lua.
Added player boolean array "Collide", used by Collide.lua.
Walls are now bouncy by default again, like they were in 1.09.
Buffed Orange Drift sparks, the boost now lasts 60 frames up from 40.
-------
Diagonal springs now keep your current speed if you are faster than their set speed. This only affects players for now.
Offroad is no longer handled by &256, and is now handled by &2, &3, &4; Damage (Damage (Water), Damage (Fire), and Damage (Electric))
Starpost mobj radius and height have been reduced to 1*FRACUNIT, this should fix the checkpoint infinispawn bug.
* Melee now has a proper weightiness to it with a landing frame.
* If you have twinspin too, do a somersalt when running and hitting the melee button.
* If you have melee, go into the melee landing frame when twinspinning into the ground.
Mushrooms rewritten to not use Instathrust, instead they jack up your accel to 10x. Feels nicer.
Floor mushroom panels no longer activate while above them
Mushrooms force player to accelerate (and cannot brake)
K_PlayTauntSound works now. (YES YES YES HUP HUP YES HUP HERE WE GO)
Star and Mega sfx might stop correctly now in netgames (need to test)
Item box radius and height increased from 32 to 36.
Intermission timer is back down to 20 seconds unless something breaks with auto-transmissions again.
Also I remembered to enable Magnets this time. Super low odds on it though.
Consolidated the turning and drifting values to k_kart functions for easier editing
Removed 200cc. 50/100/150ccs are a weird amalgamation of the prior values.
* Create a normal skin, but replace the S_SKIN lump with an almost empty one named P_SKIN.
* Provide "name = existing skin name as one of the first line (comments allowed)
* Reset individual spritenames back to zero sprite2s (or one for SPR2_STND to prevent complete removal) via "reset = SPR2_****" statements.
* No support for changing skin properties that are non-visual at the moment, but I don't really feel like it's wise to have those changable with patch alone. (Hello, tons of "modern Sonic" wadfiles which just change vanilla Sonic's ability to CA_HOMINGTHOK!)
* Sprites patch over.
To see an example in action, look at <root>/toaster/smilespatch.wad.
Other notes:
* on second thought I'll keep the hw_clip functions' gld prefixes rather than HWR, not like it matters either way
* despite the extra lag it does fix the issues with translucent walls and such when displayed at different vertical angles, such as with the GFZ1 waterfall
Moved the handling of P_PlayerInSpecialSector to P_PlayerAfterThink from P_PlayerThink.
* This allows the player to get hurt on sloped lava surfaces that are moving downwards.
* Also prevents the player from standing on death pits for 1 tic.
* Prevents the player moving 1 extra tic's worth of movement of pain when hit by sector.
* Thankfully, no consequences re conveyors.
* Like, the only consequences I've found have been positive. However, this DOES need to be thoroughly investigated before it can be allowed anywhere near Next itself.
