- MT_HYUDORO itself was being relinked, causing the Hyudoro to not disappear after delivery
- MT_HYUDORO_CENTER is relinked instead; this is the object that actually holds a player reference
2.4 has player-buffing mechanics, especially item snatching.
2.4 also has damage frames for UFO, so UFO damage carryover probably *feels* more significant even if it's numerically worse.
Thus, UFO damage carryover:
- 1/6 of damage retained -> 1/12 of damage retained
- 40% cap -> 20% cap
Seems like an uncontroversial change.
- Fixed rocket sneaker tripwire state not activating
- Exposed sneaker boost variables to lua
- Made bots at least aware of the new sneaker boost type...? Probably.
More tripwire leniency after invinc + fixed netgame crash caused by rocketsneaker boost type separation

Previously the overshield you got from sneaker boosts could stack up to nonsensical amounts of overshield. This revises the behavior as follows:
- Sneakers give you 25 tics of overshield, but will never stack
- Rocket sneakers give you 1/2 second of overshield, but will never stack
- Sneaker panels extend your existing overshield for 1/3 seconds, but cap at 1 full second
- Only works in Match Race and Online level selects
- Shows in-progress state on Pause and Cup Grid, but no direct influence available on those screens
- Z to queue current highlighted map
- Pending until you press A, then sent to server
- When done online, tries to send one at a time to avoid overloading connection
- C to clear
- Removes one from pending first
- If you're out of pending maps, prompts whether you want to clear server's queue
Now that TA wipes are their intended length, holding Respawn during Time Attack for more than a single frame repeatedly restarts the run. This is not ideal, and frankly wasteful of CPU. Here is the specified replacement for this case:
- Holding gc_respawn will hold on a black(/white) screen before mapload.
- Allows for taking a conscious breather (or opportunity to curse) in the middle of long Time Attack sessions.
- Ticcmdbuilder will not interpret gc_respawn into BT_ constants in Time Attack contexts at all.
- Fixes the occasionally visible E-Brake when coming out of this breather state.
A lot of messy, copypasted boilerplate has been bundled together into a single function.
Programmers can now fire up a Match Race, the most basic type of gameplay, from menu code in only four steps (other modes take a little more attention):
- **M_MenuToLevelPreamble(UINT8 - splitscreen players #, boolean - false to extend wipe/true for short wipe)**
- set restoremenu
- D_MapChange(...)
- M_ClearMenus(...)
Includes the following fixes:
- Encore no longer has over-long wipes when started from menu, only standard-length
- "Boss Intro" and Encore start-of-round sounds will always play, even if no Title Card is drawn
- No long wipe when restarting a Time Attack run
- Auto Encore and Auto Gamespeed are no longer accidentially forced if you've manually changed them to Off and Gear 2 before starting netgame
A chunk of P_LoadLevel, extracted.
Calling it in D_ClearState should clear up some of the straggling pointers that might cause Laz' reported issue.
With any luck, it should also significantly reduce the amount of memory the menu uses.
- Built off g_fast_forward to utilise a lot of existing structure
- Only does steps of 5 seconds and therefore isn't precise, but that's better than having to rewatch/fastforward through the entire thing
- No single frame step back or general in-motion rewind preview, but that was all overkill
