Originally written by x.organic, flattened rewrite due to massive changes between RR and SRB2Kart codebase
Notable changes:
- p_adding_file has been reworked into partadd_earliestfile to allow for final setup to use
- much like the public version required removing TEXTURE SOCs, this one required removing Flats support from ANIMDEFS
- Use `SpeedPad` to set the strength. Intended to be scaled like Trick Panels, so 1 for yellow, 2 for red, so on. Can use floating point.
- Use `SpeedPadAngle` to rotate the thrust direction. This is in the same system as map angles, so east is 0, north is 90, west is 180, and south is 270. Also accepts floating point.
- Speed Pad angle accounts for the flat alignment itself, as well.
- Like Sneaker and Trick Panels, the sector / line special are now deprecated.
- Uses args instead of texture offsets.
- Compares tag lists, instead of thing angle.
- Made the arguments accept 0 as a "catch-all" option (args[0] == 0 means don't care what type it is; line tag == 0 means don't care what tags they have)
- Auto accel
- 800% acceleration
- 110% top speed
- Infinite tether like Lightning Shield
- Resists going upward on slopes
- Less friction
- Can always turn your sprite
- Turning speed does not get weaker at high speeds
- Turning speed is normal underwater
- Keeps moving in momentum direction, regardless of how
you turn
- Releasing a drift redirects all your momentum in that
direction
- Floats over bananas, damage sectors and offroad
- No stair janking while floating
- Hold drift for extra gravity. Not only does this fast
fall (this stacks with true fast falling), it builds
momentum down slopes too!
- Parries Big Players (Grow), Invincibility, Flame Shield
and, of course, other Tops -- all except if you're
grinding
- Wipes out anyone you touch
- Infinite weight like Bubble Shield
- Does not water skip
- Does not water run while holding drift
* Instead of doing constant G_MapNumbers when finding the relationship between maps and cups...
* Add a cache of level IDs to cups, to go with the strings.
* Add a cache of the cup pointer to maps, so we don't have to search through all cups to find our map. (done in P_InitMapData)
* Pre-emptive work: G_IsSpecialStage and P_GetNextEmerald now reference cup data instead of a hardcoded ID set.
* Remove a bunch of old stuff from mapheaderinfo_t/associated, and reorder what stays
* Countdowntimer? 💥
* Startrings? 💥
* sstimer/ssspheres? 💥
* forcecharacter? 💥 (distinct from forceskin)
* interscreen? 💥
* sstage_start/end and smpstage_start/end? 💥💥💥💥
* You've been blocked
* G_MapNumber now returns a special NEXTMAP_INVALID if not found, for more consistent reference.
* Incorporate a good chunk of the `edit-headers` branch. Can't clear maps individually because of the new restrictions on sequential mapheaders, but we can add a "disable in vote screen, not even for map hell/archive" flag to a map at some future juncture for equivalent functionality...
