- Characters is default page because it's Dr Eggman's game
- Keep page when exiting menu and returning
- Remove/comment out the overview page, since the overview is currently visible on all pages
- One extra row, to match the position of the headers on other pages
- Add "time" column if Time Attack for relevant gametypes is unlocked
- Seperate row header from Lost and Found for tutorial mode maps
- Add background lines to each row to increase parsability
- Shows wins for every character
- Shows heatmap of which stats are your favourite (of the loaded skins)
- Adds a header to the top of all statistics pages showing you can scroll left and right
- General spacing is adjusted to accomodate
Was previously a feature of older versions of SRB2, but newer releases have had more compact statistics menus.
However, we now have wayyyyy more to track than SRB2 ever did, so this is now actually justified.
Currently there are only two pages, and the first page is empty. This will change shortly.
(This commit does not compile. Sound test and tunes
command code needs to be ported after this.)
This is a big one. Here's the rundown:
The old music system was very direct, much of the time
just a proxy to the real sound API in i_sound.h.
You could change the music on command, but there wasn't
a consistent way to prevent some music from playing over
others. P_RestoreMusic is one example of needing to
address this problem. The jingles system was intended as
another solution. Furthermore, sound test (Stereo) has its
own needs.
I am removing all of that. Music handling in general is
now a very deliberate system, kind of similar to jingles.
In the new system, "tunes" are registered. The tune stores
info such as whether it should loop or fade out. Most of
the configuration is intended to be initialized only ONCE.
Tunes can be mapped to an actual music lump. They can be
remapped at any time too.
Tunes are also configured with a priority number. This
determines which tune is heard, if multiple are supposed
to be playing at a time. You can even tell a tune how long
it should play, so it's unnecessary to track this with
bespoke timers.
- The function is back to producing zone-allocated memory copies, like its precursor V_WordWrap
- The author of this commit got rid of that dependency originally because it seemed like a fair part of the API, and meant static buffers could be used in certain circumstances, but it was necessary to revert for the following change.
- Newlines can now be inserted mid-word, treating the width provided as ironclad except in the case of single characters wider than the region.
- This will be necessary for future work with the in-game chat.
- Reserves 8 characters at first, then Z_Reallocs double that every time it runs out.
Moves WordWrap to the font/V_GetFontSpecification system.
Much healthier long-term for our purposes, including the possibility of changing fonts for various contexts freely.
Currently just plays the squishy "nope" sound for "KICK PLAYER?", all others are functional
Shows whether vote is active or the cooldown is too recent (via numerical timer) as reasons for why you can't select it
- Handle removing GP Backups when any game end sequence is started, not just the Podium (in case no Podium exists)
- Guarantee removal in M_StartCup out-of-entries failure state
- Now actually from the relevant GP difficulty's Cupgrid, instead of the top-level Play choice
- Permits a much cleaner M_StartCup, combining two of the previously four copypasted, slightly modified level startup regions (which could be further combined for sanity's sake, but would take a LITTLE more work right now than I have in me)
- Shows a funny exclamation mark from Sonic Rush on the relevant cup on the grid
- Selected by default when loading the menu, if appropriate
The author of this commit ran into an issue while testing previous changes where a Menu Message had MM_NOTHING but a Yes and No string, leading to misleading appearances. This prevents that footgun from happening again.
- Re-saved every time you lose a life, to prevent scumming
- Force-deletion of your backup has changed
- Don't when saying NO to the GP Backup load prompt
- Don't when returning to titlescreen under non-DEVELOP
- DO when starting a new Grand Prix session of any cup
- M_StopMessage is now in charge of setting the answer to a given prompt.
- Menu Messages can now be dismissed on the title screen, instead of carried into the top-level menu transition.
Slicker, prevents the issue where a transition after pressing accept on a prompt would be instant.
Also guarantees M_StopMessage is called even for MM_NOTHING, even with a custom routine.
- Now called "Grand Prix Backup"
- Filename is now `gpringsav.bkp`
- Since available in standard contexts, do a little extra guarding against unsporting behaviour:
- In non-DEVELOP builds, delete Grand Prix Backup when returning to the titlescreen/menus.
- "undo your extra work and make it more generic" - Tyron
Associated menu stuff is rough and unpolished, but it's 1am for the author of this commit.
- Activated for this session by either of the following Passwords.
- `savetheframes`
- `savetheanimals`
- The idea is that if Ring Racers were ever ran at a GDQ, runners would swear their alliegance to a particular Metroid routing at the startup stage, because I think it's funny and cute.
- A live event backup is created/overwritten on non-cheated grandprix level change.
- It's wiped on reaching the podium.
- When hitting PLAY on the main menu, if a live event backup exists, make a Menu Message.
- If you hit A, turn live event backups on for this session, and load the backup.
- If you hit B/X, delete the backup and proceed to character select.
- Done this way to avoid cheating a different character to the end of GP.
- Unlike the (maybe a little over-)engineering of ringdata.dat, liveringbak.bkp is streamlined as all hells and has very little recovery for differing file lists.
Cvar was previously "eggmanmonitor" inherited from a completely different implementation of the item
Menu was previously "Eggman Mark", which was good inspiration but too unwieldy
Has been blended together per Gardentop and VC discussion
