This avoids an issue where the skins array takes up a fixed, but large
amount of memory at runtime. On x86_64 linux, that array is roughly 80
megabytes in memory, most of which is unused when the game is unmodded.
Instead, we treat `skins` as a dynamically resizing array, and it is an
array-of-pointers into separate allocated `skin_t`.
This is based on Lactozilla's skin limit MR for SRB2, but I've rewritten
it because RR has diverged quite a bit.
This was verified to check every access of `skins` by using clangd's
find-all-references function. However, I have only tested plain skins,
not Lua addons, so that could afford some extra checking.
- Fix GS_INTRO not being Title Screen
- Fix GS_EVALUATION not being Credits
- Use Watching Replays while browsing Egg TV menu
- Use GP difficulty names instead of speed names during GP
- No need to call CV_RegisterVar
- Cvar definitions live in only one file, easier to locate
- Organized into sections -- netvars, cheats, etc.
- Use builder pattern to initialize cvars
- Still need to extern if you want to read the cvar value
- Preliminary work so that the feature can be tested later down the line when the menu is reimplemented
- Made sure any secret revealing presence info is guarded behind a non-DEVELOP build check
- Introduce `menugametype`
- Controlled by IT_KEYHANDLER/M_HandleMenuGametype
- Excludes gametypes that do not support multiplayer by default
- GTR_CAPSULES and GTR_BOSS for now, but also user-specifiable GTR_NOMP
- Remove gametype_cons_t and G_UpdateGametypeSelections, an obstacle in the way of infinitely allocatable custom gametypes
New:
- GTR_POWERSTONES
- Handles spawning in Battle Emeralds (currently only works stacked with GTR_PAPERITEMS)
- GTR_ENCORE
- Codifies that Race can use Encore and Battle can't.
- GTR_CLOSERPLAYERS
- A gametype where players are encouraged/expected to be closer together. (All of the following was GT_BATTLE specific)
- Drafting/tether has increased strength/effective distance
- Spindashing is stronger
- Invincibility chaining has less effect
- Grow has a lower total duration
- Flame shield is more uncontrollable
Extra functionality
- GTR_CAPSULES
- Prevents usage of lives in Grand Prix (so Race, and the upcoming Special and Boss gametypes, can have 'em)
- GTR_CIRCUIT
- When not present, Flame Shield has perma-full meter
- When not present, overrides gamespeed with KARTSPEED_EASY
- Presence of Best Lap sticker in Time Attack menu
- Seperation between Time Attack and Break The Capsules modeattacking roulettes
- GTR_POINTLIMIT
- Handles the switch between a gametype recording/displaying Times and Scores in a few places
- Handles displaying "WANTED" players on the minimap
Missing simple substitutions
- A whole bunch of cases where player->bumpers was checked with gametype == GT_BATTLE rather than GTR_BUMPER
- GTR_OVERTIME handles the overtime special icon on the minimap
- GTR_BATTLESTARTS is honoured in K_DoIngamerespawn
- The Replay hut is closer to supporting custom gametypes
Removals
- GTR_LIVES
- GTR_SPECIALBOTS
- Given that grand prix persists between modes, these are special game-controlled features and not gametype-specific.
- GTR_WANTED
- WANTED as it existed is functionally dead
Removes rooms, replaced with cv_advertise and "Advertise" on the host menu.
According to the new API, SRB2APPLICATION is sent instead of MODID. A contact
field was added, but there is no means of accessing it or setting it.
As a slight change, the server list will be populated even on an outdated
version of the game. (The new API was designed with this in mind.) The update
alert is still presented first of course.
