Now that TA wipes are their intended length, holding Respawn during Time Attack for more than a single frame repeatedly restarts the run. This is not ideal, and frankly wasteful of CPU. Here is the specified replacement for this case:
- Holding gc_respawn will hold on a black(/white) screen before mapload.
- Allows for taking a conscious breather (or opportunity to curse) in the middle of long Time Attack sessions.
- Ticcmdbuilder will not interpret gc_respawn into BT_ constants in Time Attack contexts at all.
- Fixes the occasionally visible E-Brake when coming out of this breather state.
A lot of messy, copypasted boilerplate has been bundled together into a single function.
Programmers can now fire up a Match Race, the most basic type of gameplay, from menu code in only four steps (other modes take a little more attention):
- **M_MenuToLevelPreamble(UINT8 - splitscreen players #, boolean - false to extend wipe/true for short wipe)**
- set restoremenu
- D_MapChange(...)
- M_ClearMenus(...)
Includes the following fixes:
- Encore no longer has over-long wipes when started from menu, only standard-length
- "Boss Intro" and Encore start-of-round sounds will always play, even if no Title Card is drawn
- No long wipe when restarting a Time Attack run
- Auto Encore and Auto Gamespeed are no longer accidentially forced if you've manually changed them to Off and Gear 2 before starting netgame
A chunk of P_LoadLevel, extracted.
Calling it in D_ClearState should clear up some of the straggling pointers that might cause Laz' reported issue.
With any luck, it should also significantly reduce the amount of memory the menu uses.
- Built off g_fast_forward to utilise a lot of existing structure
- Only does steps of 5 seconds and therefore isn't precise, but that's better than having to rewatch/fastforward through the entire thing
- No single frame step back or general in-motion rewind preview, but that was all overkill
- If you've gotten every Spray Can, or you're on a custom course...
- Only one of these spawns per map
- Correctly save and load these
- Statistics menu counts base-game bonuses
- If there are gaps in the list, or new Spray Cans are added later, these base-game bonuses are converted into the new Spray Cans
- New graphics required so far:
- SBONA0 to SBONP0 - 16-frame prerendered circling sprite animation
- GOTBON - 8x8 representation of the SBON object
This should substantially reduce the number of malloc/free calls made to
create and destroy mobjs, especially during level load and net
save/load.
memory_resource standard header is not available on the OSX deployment
target we are using, so I had to write my own fixed size pool allocator.

Clear between maps
Takes two screenshots for a list of maps that have an "Alternate View Point" thing with tag 0 -- one intended for level select pictures and another for Discord Rich Presence. If no view point exists, the map is skipped.
- V_SLIDEIN: For (G_IsTitleCardAvailable == false)/(versus at map start == true) contexts, use timeinmap instead of leveltime
- Don't reset timeinmap when reloading gamestate, so it's more functionally equivalent to lt_ticker
These two changes also fix the hypothetical issue of titlecard-less custom gametypes having weird HUD state on late netgame join.
Timeinmap is exclusively used for HUD, as is st_fadein. timeinmap also doesn't increment under g_fastforward, therefore the best candidate to tie together
- You can spawn in Tutorial Challenge, but only if a single can has been picked up already
- Don't print a (DEVELOP-only, but still annoying) error when it doesn't spawn in Tutorial Challenge
Set a specific gamespeed per gametype. KARTSPEED_AUTO for it to be decided by game settings.
Wanted this for a while, but also it makes game speed display logic for DRP very straightforward.
