* At the start of the first bar, everyone digests spheres at 1 per second, same as before.
* This actually only starts counting down from the most recent moment your spheres becomes nonzero, which is a very, VERY tiny buff to prevent their instant depletion.
* At around 40 spheres:
* Chao digests them at 1 sphere per *tic*. Might be slightly too punishing.
* Mecha Sonic digests them at 1 sphere per... 33 tics, or barely faster than before. Might be slightly not punishing enough.
* Everyone else is linearily in between.
* Add a little "ding" sound and HUD dorito bounce when your kickstartaccel reaches max, so you can let go of accelerate/know when you need to tap to stop.
* Make the name on top of the boss healthbar only show up once the titlecard is over.
* Properly reset boss healthbar fill between maploads.
Set a sidedef's midtexture to "TRIPWIRE" to turn that line
into a tripwire.
Players can't drive through a tripwire and will bounce
back at high speed if they're in one of the following
states:
1. Invincibility / Grow
2. Sneakers
3. Flame Shield dash
4. >200% on the speedometer
Hitting a tripwire plays a sound, sends you into hitlag,
then plays another sound when the hitlag is over. The
sounds used depend on whether you can drive through the
tripwire.
- Invert high contrast greyscale colorization effect for damage hitlag
- Jitter is now also exclusive to damage-related hitlag
- Since jitter is now just tied to a flag, removed the old trick momentum hack
* Hold lookback to create a tiny twinkle in your eye.
* If an opponent is behind you, that sparkle is pretty big and plays a cool animation.
* If an opponent is behind you and you have an item, initiate the Chengi Gleam.
* These sparkles are only visible for every player except you. (Currently even with hyuu ghostliness)
They will no longer do it on a whim after getting bumped out of position of hitting walls, instead checks if they're trying to accelerate and they physically can't.
- Sprite tilts back and forth 5.625 degrees, two tics each
side, for 17 tics (half a second).
- Turning is ignored--as if in the air--every other tic
during those 17 tics.
Values are subject to tweaking.
(AngleDelta stuff is a leftover of the previous attempt, but I think the code's useful so I kept it in this commit anyway)
It's no secret that holding down a button a lot can fuck with your wrists and fingers. It's too late for me to be damageless, but I can at least create an option to reduce further harm.
This accessibility feature, when enabled (kickstartaccel and kickstartaccel2/3/4 in the console) behaves with the following properties:
* Hold accelerate for 1 second to lock it down.
* Press again to release.
* Short holds/presses do nothing (good for POSITION).
* Continue holding it during the releasing press to re-lock it.
* A small triangular UI element is added next to the speedometer sticker, which displays the current state of the acceleration kickstart for visual feedback. (NO SPLITS SUPPORT YET)
In addition:
* Add PF_ACCELDOWN and PF_BRAKEDOWN, and BT_REALACCELERATE (which ACCELDOWN tracks). Even if this feature never gets merged, BT_REALACCELERATE is required because sneakers and boosters force it on too (extending this is how I implemented it).
* Fix the dehacked playerflag list being out of shape.
* I replaced some existing flags during development of this branch, so their old uses have been whittled away.
While in the air: release accelerate while at nearly-still speeds, and you'll preform a minisucle air drift boost. This mechanic is meant to fix the long-standing issue where you can get stuck in 0 speed in the air and not be able to do anything.
