- This is symmetrical with splitscreen behavior
- One edge case: if you switch away from the player after
the level music stops but before the intermission music
starts, then the silence will continue until you view
another tally that reaches the intermission music
- I think the benefit of doing the proper tally music at
all outweighs this edge case
- If emerald not yet collected on that cup, pick the first uncollected emerald, then get the cup's CUPCACHE_SPECIAL with that ID to pick the stage
- Already collected emeralds retain their swappage across gamedata saves
- Returns to normal order if you get all 7 OR Special Mode is unlocked (chao key? debug? password in modded games? sky's the limit)
- Pops up a Message from the Stars telling you the gems have been returned to their natural place
- Add-ons will always use their dedicated sealed star, since it's unordered material
If it weren't so last minute I could have a better solution for GP Backups, but right now what I've gone for is it always trusts whatever G_GPCupIntoRoundQueue does AS LONG AS THE COURSE ISN'T THE ONE YOU'RE RELOADING INTO. If it IS, then it checks to see if it's exactly what's been saved, and complains (with the generic error message, unfortunately) if it isn't.
- Previous order:
- K_HandleLapIncrement
- K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- !! Relies on player->exiting
- Set lap points
- !! Based on player->position
- Set latestlap
- P_DoPlayerExit
- Set player->exiting
- K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- Relies on player->exiting
- Overwrites latestlap if not set
- K_InitPlayerTally
- Based on lap points
- New order:
- K_HandleLapIncrement
- Set latestlap
- If ending last lap, P_DoPlayerExit
- Set player->exiting
- K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- Relies on player->exiting
- Overwrites latestlap if not set
- [NO LONGER INITS TALLY]
- OTHERWISE, K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- Relies on player->exiting
- Set lap points
- Based on player->position
- P_PlayerAfterThink
- If player is exiting and no tally, K_InitPlayerTally
Hopefully you can see the magnitude of the gordian knot I had to untangle to fix this
- Spins and zooms around a center point
- Freezes the level while spinning
- Pans over to follow and object after spinning ends
- Timing and speed completely customizable
I tried to fix the GP ending weirdness a long time ago by recalculating all player positions at time of exit... and then K_IsPlayerLosing gets to a variable before the recalculation and a bunch of crap uses it and completely undoes anything this might've fixed. DON'T DO THAT!
Notable deletions:
- Metal Sonic Race
- Includes all the specialised recording/playback apparatus which made g_demo.c harder to read
- A bunch of hyperspecialised code inside several A_ actions
- EXCEPTION: intentfully left in the spriteless SMK stuff for Sal's add-on down the line.
