- 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
- Permits the use of the existing K_HandleMenuMessage MM_YESNO system, instead of the faked previous implementation
- Removes the "cl_requestmode" hack
- The only area of the game that fakes handling Menu Messages is the title screen, now, due to the lack of guarantees for menu inputs.
- *Also* permits Screenshots and video/lossless Recordings to be started/ended on this menu.
- 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.
- Type in anything you want
- On closing the field, if a cheat sequence is matched *exactly*, activate it!
- Directly hooked up to a modified form of the previously existing SCRAMBLE interpreter system in m_cheat.c
- The existing cht_Responder call in D_ProcessEvents is gone
- Done this way because the new input paragadim is not very friendly to unqualified keyboard/controller input, and we still want text
- Plenty of opportunity to add fun future passwords in addition to the currently underbaked Tournament Mode
- Got a debug M_StartMessage just so you can tell what's up without sound
Please note this is incompatible with gamedata from previous commits on this branch. As always, keep a backup of your last stable gamedata.
A system for record data to point to either loaded or unloaded skins.
- When writing to gamedata, stores a funny internal reference id on skinrecord_t.
- This ID is then used when writing out subsequent references ala mobjnum.
- As an example, has been attached to cup windata.
- Also assigned based on profile skin when gamedata importprofilewins event is occouring.
- Set to your current skin if you complete a Cup, OR if you get equal or better on any existing Cup.
- Successfully reassigned alongside unloadedskin records when a skin is added.
- TEMPORARY: Character ownership of Cup wins are displayed in your latest-log.txt, in lieu of an update to the cupgrid
Track wins per character.
- If you have an existing gamedata of minor version 2 or earlier, attempt to import your last-used profile's wins onto the character you last used on that profile, so you're not starting from nothing. It's not quite accurate, but it's something.
- Much like map headers and cups, these are also tracked in an unloaded_skins_t linked list. That work was done in this commit because gamedata is actually loaded before even base-game characters, which is annoying but at least confirmed it was working quicker.
- TEMPORARY: Your per-character wins are displayed in your latest-log.txt, in lieu of an update to the in-game statistics menu
In addition, don't show the pause menu PAUSED in modeattacking/netgames
This text is now snapto-affected, since we can't (or at least shouldn't) summon the widescreen border in regular pause instances.
A general purpose system that permits cacheing of GP progression in one place, but which permits future expansion and brings Online GP a little closer to reality.
- Stores a bunch of levels, gametypes, encore state, and restricted-by-rank-ness in sequence.
- Initialised on GP cup select.
- FUTURE WORK: Open to being initialised by other methods
- Digests its way through that sequence as maps are completed.
- Stores round number instead of `grandprixinfo`.
- Map commands as sent over the wire have been adjusted.
- Sends round number and size of/position in roundqueue.
- Now figures out GP Event Type from gametype.
- Can be swung in the direction of a Special Stage with a hint flag.
- This hint flag replaces "fromlevelselect", which was functionally vestigal.
- Replaces `tutorialmode`.
- Forces gamespeed to Easy, with no POSITION.
- Laps are currently disabled as well, but this can be changed if necessary.
- Hides Free Play.
- Does not count as a played round (except for Chao Keys).
`tutorialmap` has also been removed. This will be replaced in a later commit with something that plays nicer with Ring Racers' existing systems.
- Shown on the menu
- soundtest.autosequence
- Plays all songs in sequence, skipping over the soundtest entry.
- Plays each looping song twice (and fades out if it's the last one in the musicdef's tracks)
- Plays non-looping songs once with no fade ever
- Disabled when S_SoundTestStop called
- Songs that end outside of autosequence will now stop the visible Playing.
This doesn't need to be in a bunch of rendering code, simply only run it in TryRunTics.
Worst case scenario: if this sucks then it means dedicated servers have also sucked the whole time and we should come up with a new solution to fix both of them.
More likely scenario: nothing changes and we now aren't doing networking inside of the renderer.
- Unfortunately, the way this system previously worked, the unlock was given to you for free if you accidentially opened two copies of the game at once.
- Instead, open the file in r+ mode, shimmy along 5 bytes, and write a `true` to be read later.
- Far more memory safe than rewriting the entire gamedata out on crash.
ALSO:
- crashflags has been split into boolean evercrashed and UINT8 musicflags.
- We don't need to track if the LAST session was a crash, at least not right now.
- Opens the floor up to other music like Loser Club happening on the Challenges menu.
Record number of music files which we were able to add, so Addons menu shows the correct number of addons loaded.
Also marks main music files in `listwad` command.
