* A better representation of an Encore level, now with inverted graphics (a special remapping we can now use elsewhere whenever if we want!) and a floating Ruby!
* Decouple encore's setting from cv_kartencore on mapload. Instead, bake it into D_MapChange and related, which will only some of the time be fed by cv_kartencore's value.
* Encore mode now has a special mapheader palette setting, "encorepal", rather than using the same one as non-encore.
There may not be a point to this, other than to be consistent with how spheres are tracked. If non-special stage NiGHTS should tally a ring bonus, this may be useful.
* Make unlockables have a "showing" conditionset, for when you're able to see them on the Extras screen.
* A shorter Encore ruby-pulse fade, for when encore mode is already active!
* Palette remaps.
* Branding.
TODO:
* Doesn't work in GL. (Mostly.) I have SOME ideas on how to tackle this, but...
* Transmaps are broken in Encore for some reason.
* I tried to make in-level colormaps shimmy over, but it didn't quite work, so I commented it out and only semi-fixed it.
* Time overs now supported, see below.
* Ties now supported!
* Code cleaned up.
* Play more sonicy tally sounds when counting your points.
* A bunch of time over related stuff!
* Exitlevel time overs everyone, which means no points for you.
* F-Zero-sorta-maybe style death if you're the last person on the course (and not the ONLY one) when someone crosses the finish line! (Or switches to spectator.)
* A bunch of music related stuff!
* Functionally reverted many of my changes to splitscreen and ending music, although the major changes to simplify music code are still kept.
* P_EndingMusic is genericised across gametypes, and only switches a single letter (and looping-ness) now!
* Fix exitlevel in race causing whatever you're listening to to keep playing.
* Make powerups call P_RestoreMusic.
* Put a call to P_EndingMusic into P_RestoreMusic.
* Unrelated crap.
* Make all palette swaps happen at the black point of fades, so they don't stick around awkwardly.
* Huh, I thought I did more than that. Oh well!
* Deaths in record attack no longer put you into a glitchy singleplayer game-over state that we somehow both kept around and also broke since we branched Kart off of Vanilla..
* Fix non-standard mapscales making the Death Egg respawn octagons dissasemble themselves.
* Allow for MULTIPLE TIME EMBLEMS PER MAP, at least in the emblem UI on the timer. It shows all completed emblems plus the uncompleted emblem up to a total of three.
* Major tweaks to the First Person HUD.
* I know this was your baby, Sal, and some of the changes may prove controversial - so I've put the ones that are likely to cause the most fuss inside an ifndef block, so that you can toggle it as you please with minimal code changes.
* Dontdraw-ness, transparency, and colorization match the player's object!
* Moves around on the screen with respect to the direction of the player object's motion, to make drifting look nicer!
* Flashes the colour of your drift sparks.
* Did a WHOLE bunch of things with respect to music. I'm not sure how to describe this, so I'll go through step-by-step.
* Countdowns now play the drowning music again.
* Removed/disabled extraenous P_RestoreMusics.
* Made map-ending music called by its own function, P_EndingMusic(player_t *player).
* Made the ending music play on the LAST player crossing the finishing line in splitscreen, rather than first.
* Make dead players spinout and clip through the floor, at least until we add the new death anims.
* Fix prior pogo spring usage making dead players fall faster.
* Make the time over countdown use the kart font when not splitscreen with 3 or 4 players.
* Removed a weird bonus HWR_DrawCroppedPatch function signature in the hardware header.
* Fixed the issue where your runs would be saved as belonging to the wrong character.
* Make the Ghost menu always visible. This isn't PERFECT, but it's better than hiding the option to toggle ghosts just because you're doing your first run as a new character.
* Fix the number of laps carrying over from MP(!!!!!!!!! plugged a huge security hole for the authenticity of replays...)
Other stuff!
* Hide map hell maps in the statistics.
* Clean up some nonet stuff in the menu.
* Put player setup last again, and tweaked its wording.
* Disable the special Kart waiting for players behaviour when not playing a netgame - seeing a double gamestate transition in record attack is weird.
* Lots of menu changes!
* Little arrows next to changeable cvars!
* Show default value for sliders!
* Pretty pretty pretty.
* I don't know how to describe some of these changes.
* Effectively nuke MIDI music support!
* Skiddown at the start of a race is more interesting!
* Spinning in waterslides!
* Tiny bugfix in voting, plus a little celebration...
* Combine the numlaps and usemapnumlaps functionality on the menu into basenumlaps, which numlaps is set to every race start, except when it's map default value (0) in which case it loads the map's lap count.
* https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/456833651645349888/srb20051.gif
* Fix some wipe bugs.
* Solved that thing where there was no fade between two back-to-back cutscenes.
* Fixed there being no effective wipe between the end of the vanilla intro cutscene and the title screen.
* Smoothed out the behaviour of titlemap fades to prevent conflicts.
* [COMPLETELY UNRELATED] Kill the pause graphic and replace with a blue box with text in it, like what happens when the window loses focus. Much harder to miss.
