Wall detection range was doubled, how much the prediction is adjusted was halved. This is a much nicer middle-ground compared to what it was doing before.
This means that if there's objects on both sides of the bot, then the tie is broken by which side has the most objects. Before, it would average out to the middle, so they wouldn't swerve at all, which is kind of stupid for rings, but can ruin the bot's performance for dodging items & players especially!
* Introducing K_GetKartButtons(player_t), for adding false presses to.
* K_GetForwardMove(player_t) takes kickstarting into account, and is now applied to engine sound generation too.
* BT_REALACCELERATE has been deleted.
* Display even if the player (or Lua) has disabled the speedometer.
* Support splits all the way up to 4p.
* Abstract out to a function that could hypothetically display more accessibility-related icons down the line.
It's no secret that holding down a button a lot can fuck with your wrists and fingers. It's too late for me to be damageless, but I can at least create an option to reduce further harm.
This accessibility feature, when enabled (kickstartaccel and kickstartaccel2/3/4 in the console) behaves with the following properties:
* Hold accelerate for 1 second to lock it down.
* Press again to release.
* Short holds/presses do nothing (good for POSITION).
* Continue holding it during the releasing press to re-lock it.
* A small triangular UI element is added next to the speedometer sticker, which displays the current state of the acceleration kickstart for visual feedback. (NO SPLITS SUPPORT YET)
In addition:
* Add PF_ACCELDOWN and PF_BRAKEDOWN, and BT_REALACCELERATE (which ACCELDOWN tracks). Even if this feature never gets merged, BT_REALACCELERATE is required because sneakers and boosters force it on too (extending this is how I implemented it).
* Fix the dehacked playerflag list being out of shape.
* I replaced some existing flags during development of this branch, so their old uses have been whittled away.
Two notable consequences of this bug:
* The delay when pressing the item button as a spectator to toggle PF_WANTSTOJOIN was not present, leading to a rapid toggle and spurious changeteam commands.
* Lightsnaking through map hazards such as Lavender Shrine's stabbies caused you extra spicy unavoidable pain.
