Also makes gamedata save/load a little more forward compatible longterm by making a UINT32 bitfield for various once-event flags, with increased minor version
- Four evaluation modes.
- Perfect
- Currently no visual implementation
- All others have a cool set of visuals
- Multi-stage animation of a glowing threat and a Star that's Sealed
- If they're relevant, show the gems you HAVEN'T grabbed
- Three modes here
- No gems
- For Easy mode, asks you to brave a higher difficulty
- Chaos Emeralds
- Not all 7 chaos emeralds? Push your rank harder!
- Super Emeralds
- Not all 7 super emeralds? Further challenge awaits!
- `useBlackRock` to make evaluation context less specific for custom material is replaced with `useSeal` option
- M_CheckCupEmeralds(difficulty)
- Returns the Emeralds you have for that difficulty
- Obviously returns 0 for Easy
- Makes the method of checking collected Emeralds for cup contexts significantly easier
I considered restricting it even further to "unlock every minor unlock that can be unlocked by a Chao Key", but decided that if you haven't "completed the game" yet, you should still be periodically reminded of it.
Replaces existing musicflag system, which only had one flag, with a priority system that overrides menu music in general.
Also adds the CHAO KEY FREE DDL WORKING 2023 goofy music for matchesplayed Chao Key generation.
Attempts to recover Challenge Grids that aren't quite appropriate for the current suite of unlocks.
- If there's multiple small tiles pointing to the same unlock, turn the later ones empty.
- If there's a small tile that SHOULD present on the grid and an empty spot, put the needed tile in that spot.
- Otherwise, regenerate the entire grid.
This will permit us to change the number of unlockables without forcing people to run with the command line param `-resetchallengegrid` to see 'em.
Made sure there is more than enough headroom for our current purposes.
It should be easy to double again if necessary now that the datatypes have been increased... but that would be obscene at this point
- 1024 Unlockables and 1024 Conditions (these were always tied together in slots)
- 2048 emblems (Medals + nonmedals). If we ship with ~250 maps this permits 8 Medals per map - which is higher than we intend right now but could easily fill out in patches
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
Preperatory work for the next feature on my agenda.
- No longer independently allocated.
- This was a byproduct of the previous NUMMAPS-based implementation. It's just cleaner to have it live directly on the mapheader_t, no caveats about it.
- Now contains mapvisited bitflag array.
- Now all to-gamedata properties on a mapheader's struct are grouped together.
- I was of two minds about it, but decided that this would have cleaner guarantees for compartmentalisation, saving, and loading.
- They can still be wiped independently (G_ClearRecords for time/lap and M_ClearSecrets for mapvisited).
Foundational assistive work.
Also guarantees a consistent cup name length in memory, as some places read/wrote 15 bytes, and some places read/wrote 16 bytes. We settle on the latter (including null terminator) for the broadest backwards compatibility.
- Make the check consistent between HUD and Challenge conditions by revolving both around M_NotFreePlay.
- The HUD appearance checked every individual component of K_CanChangeRules, so just straight up do that here.
- If the rules can be changed, battleprisons is always FREE PLAY no matter how many players are present (because it can change quickly).
- Cooperative gametypes do not count as FREE PLAY
- Sealed Stars count as a Cooperative gametype
- Fix Battle Fullscreen having had inverted presence of FREE PLAY since bosses were added
- 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.
(The desired version of the string is "NO CONTEST on GREEN HILLS".)
Instead, searches for the first ':'.
- If found, goes to the first non-whitespace character afterwards and toupper's it.
- If not, goes to the first non-whitespace character at all and toupper's it.
- Chao Keys are now UINT16 instead of UINT8
- The maximum number of Chao Keys is now 9999, which is the largest number of 9s that can fit in a UINT16
- Used keys no longer count towards your total
Will mildly corrupt gamedatas made with previous conditions-cascading builds, but only in a way that gives you extra keys than you've earned.
- Revert the blanket exception so Lost and Found won't always have it available
- Won't be considered cheating to go to Test Run on game boot even if not unlocked
- Made the lack of exception for Test Run in Command_Map_f's cheat check more intentional
We had this collective consciousness bigbrain moment in VC together, and it can literally only happen in this branch because unlocks.pk3 is the only main-game asset that needs to change for it
Solves the big problem we had with mixing up Item Capsules and ~~Battle Capsules~~ PRISON EGGS
- For P_Ticker()'s calls to M_UpdateUnlockablesAndExtraEmblems
- Do not check non-UCRP_REQUIRESPLAYING conditions
- Controlled by a new `boolean doall` parameter to M_UpdateUnlockablesAndExtraEmblems
- Most other contexts have this as true
- Forced true if update is meant to be silent
- Only check UCRP_REQUIRESPLAYING conditions if a relevant property has been touched
- Controlled by a new `boolean checkthisframe` property on roundcondition_t
- Set in all contexts where roundcondition_t is modified
- Would also be set on lap change, but that case is already covered by the following
- Check all conditions, both UCRP_REQUIRESPLAYING and not, on:
- local player K_HandleLapIncrement
- local player P_DoPlayerExit
- local player P_DoTimeOver
- Controlled by a new `boolean deferredconditioncheck` property on gamedata_t
- UCRP_ISDIFFICULTY
- Example: IsDifficulty Hard - "on Hard difficulty"
- Does what it says on the tin
- You can't specify Easy because there is nothing easier than Easy
- Does it based on the GPsetting if in grand prix, or the level setting otherwise
- UCRP_PODIUMCUP
- Example: PodiumCup Ring - "complete RING CUP"
- Example: PodiumCup Barrier Silver - "get Silver or better on BARRIER CUP"
- Example: PodiumCup Goggles S - "get grade S on GOGGLES CUP"
- Basically a monolithic cup completion handler.
- Only happens after rankings begins in Podium ceremony.
- UCRP_PODIUMEMERALD
- Example: PodiumEmerald - "collect the Emerald"
- Get the Emerald to the ceremony and this is yours.
- UCRP_PODIUMPRIZE
- Example: PodiumPrize - "collect the prize"
- LITERALLY identical to PodiumEmerald except the string
- Doing it seperately from PodiumCup means we can't check whether that cup uses an Emerald or another Catcher Prize automagically
Measures whether you have all 7 Chaos Emeralds, 7 Super Emeralds, or 14 Emeralds
- Hidden if you haven't entered a special stage yet
- Checks all cups and all relevant difficulties outside of GS_LEVEL
- You can specify a difficulty of Normal, Hard, or Master
Record whether you've ever successfully entered a special stage
Used for conditions which were previously checking for whether you'd completed a special stage - which I think is a bit too restrictive for someone figuring out what next to lab
