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
- New Rank icons
- Use Minimap-sized Emerald instead of Battle HUD
- Shows associated character you last updated (or matched) the position with
- Also removes the temporary printout display on G_LoadGameData.
Please note this is incompatible with gamedata from previous commits on this branch. As always, keep a backup of your last stable gamedata.
A system for record data to point to either loaded or unloaded skins.
- When writing to gamedata, stores a funny internal reference id on skinrecord_t.
- This ID is then used when writing out subsequent references ala mobjnum.
- As an example, has been attached to cup windata.
- Also assigned based on profile skin when gamedata importprofilewins event is occouring.
- Set to your current skin if you complete a Cup, OR if you get equal or better on any existing Cup.
- Successfully reassigned alongside unloadedskin records when a skin is added.
- TEMPORARY: Character ownership of Cup wins are displayed in your latest-log.txt, in lieu of an update to the cupgrid
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
- Use WRITESTRINGL and READSTRINGL instead of their N equivalents. These are mostly the same, but the macro length is inclusive of the null terminator, so this prevents one-byte overruns.
- Make sure datatype for iteration over nummapheaders is of sufficient unsigned region
- Make sure hashes are calculated based on final field for guaranteed consistency, not initial buffer
- Additional newlines for spacing
IMPORTANT NOTE - increments gamedata minor version to 3, as it is necessary to backfill windata to prevent losing existing cup records.
This is essentially commit 1482fd5 but for cups.
- All cups currently loaded with nonzero windata are written on gamedata save.
- This reduces gamedata size for a player who has not unlocked every cup!
- On gamedata load, if a cup is not loaded, store the extra windata on a linked list.
- On cup header creation, check the linked list to see if an associated unloaded cupheader windata exists.
- If it does, write the record onto the cup structure directly, and delete the "unloaded cupheader" storage struct!
- Then on the NEXT gamedata save, in addition to all loaded cupheaders, it writes the extra windata kept in long term storage in exactly the same format.
Only persist the full data while unloaded if player has explicitly achieved something on that level, rather than merely visited (such as in a netgame).
Achieving something counts as:
- Getting a best time
- Getting a best lap time (Race only)
- Getting MV_SPBATTACK (completing an SPB run)
- Completing the level IF the level has LF2_FINISHNEEDED (finish level in GP/MP before you see it in Time Attack)
You will run into memory limits before this happens, but... if you have major quantities of unloaded mapheader record data, avoid a rollover in the counter of records to write.
In the previous entry in the series, due to level header records existing in a NUMMAPS-sized table always saved and loaded in full, Time Attack times persisted even across game loads without the relevant custom levels added.
However, this was changed with the long map name system. Map records were assigned to level headers, which were only created on level load.
This new system brings Ring Racers up to parity (or better, due to the reduced incidence of header conflicts!)
- All levels currently loaded with records attached are written on gamedata save.
- This reduces gamedata size for a player who has not unlocked every level!
- On gamedata load, if a level is not loaded, store those extra records on a linked list.
- On level header creation, check the linked list to see if an associated unloaded mapheader record exists.
- If it does, write the record onto the map structure directly, and delete the "unloaded mapheader" storage struct!
- Then on the NEXT gamedata save, in addition to all loaded mapheaders, it writes the extra records kept in long term storage in exactly the same format.
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.
Map things are writeable in Lua, which I am pretty certain is a mistake because mapthings are not sent over the network at all. I considered making them net-synced (it would be relatively easy), but it also aligns with another, more "philosophical" issue: Doom generally copies over properties from mapthing_t into mobj_t, and then only refers to it again when needing to respawn an object -- mapthing_t is not really intended to be referred to very often at runtime. At best it's slightly annoying since some objects rely on a spawnpoint for behavior changes, at worst it may make ACS more confusing in the future since Thing and Mobj tags are mixed together or less useful since they wouldn't be able to modify behaviors of objects that are based on args.
So I decided to solve these two issues at the same time; just treat mapthing_t as something to copy values from, like OG Doom does it. This basically just means that special and args are also part of the mobj now instead of the mapthing, which should fill any desire to edit this stuff from Lua, and reduces the number of instances where objects need to check for their spawnpoint to function properly.
Also includes secret support for widescreen.
I was planning to put this on tab rankings, which doesn't have borders.
Pause menu does, but it would be a waste to strip it back out again.
- Show if you've ever visited a Special Stage
- Show if you're on the final non-Special Stage cup round and you're on pace to enter
- A horizontal line to the Prize option, which has its own unique bump around it.
- Frustratingly has to be done inside the loop, due to overlap and order of operation issues.
- "QueueStart"
- Activates just before RoundStart, but only if a roundqueue is being started
- "QueueEnd"
- Activates just before IntermissionStart, but only if the roundqueue has just finished its final map
I chose before in both instances because Automate_Run runs off COM_BufAddText, and I don't completely trust that the buffer won't overflow for particularly complicated server commands, so prioritising the rarer event. However, this is open for discussion
- Quake epicenter + radius now work.
- Since quake epicenter works, removed the display player check on all of the quakes, so other players can feel them.
- Multiple quake effects are stored in a linked list and dynamically created/freed, so they can stack together.
- Made in china
- Made the quake effects only work on the z axis.
- Quakes now alternate their intensity and dampen it over time, instead of randomly picking values.
- Added quake effects for offroad and stair-jank
- Disabled quakes in reducevfx
- Removed actionmovie and windowquake (sorry jartha)
- Increments a timer on human players who aren't making progress, does it even faster if they're going backwards.
- Only applies in:
- Netgames
- GTR_CIRCUIT after the timer starts
- If there's no timelimit, pointlimit, or K_Cooperative (because unproductive behaviour there will be punished by other rules)
- The rate at which this changes needs trial and error, but getting the feature functional is more important to start out with.
- If this timer reaches cv_antigrief's value in seconds , the player gets a "Grief Strike"
- This doesn't happen if:
- There's only one active player in the server, so FREE PLAY permits mappers to test what increments/decrements the counter
- Turn `debugwaypoints` on to observe this
- The cvar is set to 0
- Less than 3 grief strikes is a forced spectate
- Anything more is a kick via "automatic grief detection"
- Unless your node is the host (or an admin)
- Remove grief strike strike for finishing normally
# Conflicts:

- On becoming a spectator in a netgame, there is a delay before you can de-spectate.
- 30 seconds by default.
- This can be changed using the cvar `spectatorreentry`.
- ...unless there's only two people left including you, in which case it's three minutes!!
- This can be changed using the cvar `duelspectatorreentry`.
- If spectatorreentry is set to greater than duelspectatorrentry, the former is used instead.
- This timer is wiped on mapload and intermission, so NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHING !! and level changes in general allow people in.
- General purpose cleanup of K_CheckSpectateStatus
A system for level completion jingles.
- G_Ticker
- Call P_EndingMusic after a certain amount of time has elapsed to begin a jingle
- Play O_RACENT after the jingle's completion instead of baking it or an equivalent into the music
- P_EndingMusic
- Change the function signature to not take a player
- Pick from a series of const char* jingles, instead of sprintfing into a buffer
- _first
- _win
- _lose
- RETIRE
- Simplifying logic to handle intermission music
- Y is now additionally another macro for HOLD!
- Disable HOLD! drop from respawning when done with Ring Shooter.
- Immediate release Ring Shooter now goes back a waypoint, and does not have a minimum distance to go forward anymore.
- Only send from the server when an update to roundqueue state is relevant
- Perform sanity checking on reciept
- Initialise when map command is sent with roundqueue size greater than the client's
- Correct gametype/encore state on reciept
- Only permit from the server, forbid admin clients from providing it on penalty of kick
A general purpose system that permits cacheing of GP progression in one place, but which permits future expansion and brings Online GP a little closer to reality.
- Stores a bunch of levels, gametypes, encore state, and restricted-by-rank-ness in sequence.
- Initialised on GP cup select.
- FUTURE WORK: Open to being initialised by other methods
- Digests its way through that sequence as maps are completed.
- Stores round number instead of `grandprixinfo`.
- Map commands as sent over the wire have been adjusted.
- Sends round number and size of/position in roundqueue.
- Now figures out GP Event Type from gametype.
- Can be swung in the direction of a Special Stage with a hint flag.
- This hint flag replaces "fromlevelselect", which was functionally vestigal.
- Maps build anger every time a map isn't selected by anyone.
- If a map is ignored for 4 votes in a row, then on the 5th vote it shows up it will be angry enough to vote for itself when everyone else finishes voting.
- Once it gives its funny vote, or it gets played, it will calm down again.
- 13P+ vote icons are implemented; it's just a basic circle though cuz lazy.
- Made the roulette finish even faster.
- Bots can vote again but now behind a debug cvar.
Each map now just has a countdown for when they'll reappear (stored in mapheader), which gets decremented each time a new map is played. This means it's now compatible across gametype switches, is a lot less complex, and is easy to retrieve the value for a specific map without needing to iterate constantly.
Lots of the old unused code surrounding this function was also removed. Lastly, added a PARANOIA check for callAgainSoon being mishandled.
