More opportunities for early rejection in table-wide searches, in anticipation of future work.
- Many circumstances independently implemented string name comparisons. Most of these have been converted to use R_SkinAvailable, with one exception.
- M_CharacterSelectInit already needs to iterate over the characters, so produce the skin hash independently.
- `_OCEAN` on first launch without profile set, to avoid skipping between three different tracks in quick succession
- 'FILE' if you create a new profile on first launch OR if you go into Options->Profiles
- Online menu is inaccessible until unlocked.
- Unlike most unlocks, the fact that it's not enabled is very clearly signposted.
- This is because the previous entry in the series barely had any offline content at all, so the fact you'll have to work for it will catch a lot of people by surprise.
- Has a message that straight up tells you you need experience in Grand Prix mode.
- Has no affect in TESTERS builds, for which this is the only method of play available.
- Hides "A PLAYER/A $profilename" text
- Shows extra info relevant text
- Early stages: "[EXTRAINFOMODE]"
- Grid select: Speed and weight
- Clone select/READY!!: Character name
- Color: Color name
- Follower category: Category name
- Follower: Follower name
- Follower color: Follower color name
- The hidden setup_page toggle feature now only uses L button
- M_CharacterSelectTick: Initialise Online menu when setting up
- PLAY_MP_OptSelect: Hide entries 0 and 1 instead of removing them, to keep options aligned
If Playing(), does nothing.
- If NULL, cycle between Cascade Cave as is traditional.
- If ".", stop music. (will one day be used for sound test)
- Any other case, call S_ChangeMusicInternal on the string directly
Notable menu sets:
- All Extra menus, excepting the Replay Hut, use "EXTRAS"
- Replay Hut uses "REPLAY"
- All online menus use "NETMD2".
- I know we wanted to do something with switching between "NETMDE" and "NETMD2". I would prefer a more consistent API for transferring song position across between tracks be implemented before implementing this.
- Known bug: Music restarts when exiting from failed connection screen
- Known bug: Music goes back to Cascade Cave when selecting "GO" for server creation
- Wontfix as we want that button to go directly to the voting screen, which we can do in a voting revamp branch
- Data Erase, Profile Erase: "SHWDN2"
- Not in the spec but I think it's both funny and a valuable tell for the most "dangerous" menu to play with.
- Also shifts the background to SKINCOLOR_BLACK
- src/menu contains files for each menu's definitions.
- src/menu/transient contains menus which are reused in
many places or are separate from Main Menu entirely.
File names ending in "-1" are menus which contain
a submenu. The suffix is added so that the parent menu
sorts before all its children in directory lists.
It's also done so Tab completion doesn't stop such that
a hyphen (-) would need to be typed.
For example (this is how I auto complete file names):
"ex" <TAB> completes to "extras" because the choices are
"extras.c" or "extras-addons.c" etc. Now you need to reach
away from the home row of a keyboard to type a "-" in
order to complete any of the submenu file names.
VS
"ex" <TAB> completes to "extras-". You only need to reach
to type a "1" for one menu. There may be more than one
submenu and submenu names start with letters, which are
closer to the home row.
