- Unfortunately, the way this system previously worked, the unlock was given to you for free if you accidentially opened two copies of the game at once.
- Instead, open the file in r+ mode, shimmy along 5 bytes, and write a `true` to be read later.
- Far more memory safe than rewriting the entire gamedata out on crash.
ALSO:
- crashflags has been split into boolean evercrashed and UINT8 musicflags.
- We don't need to track if the LAST session was a crash, at least not right now.
- Opens the floor up to other music like Loser Club happening on the Challenges menu.
- G_SaveGameData: correctly increase length of buffer to account for cup name
- G_LoadGameData: digest the cup's associated windata even if it's not loaded
(The desired version of the string is "NO CONTEST on GREEN HILLS".)
Instead, searches for the first ':'.
- If found, goes to the first non-whitespace character afterwards and toupper's it.
- If not, goes to the first non-whitespace character at all and toupper's it.
- Chao Keys are now UINT16 instead of UINT8
- The maximum number of Chao Keys is now 9999, which is the largest number of 9s that can fit in a UINT16
- Used keys no longer count towards your total
Will mildly corrupt gamedatas made with previous conditions-cascading builds, but only in a way that gives you extra keys than you've earned.
Discovered while self-reviewing that ACS has read access to this, not just write, so it has to be saved and loaded.
It is the only roundcondition which should be netsynced. Everything else is truly per-player progression.
- Adds headers to the list
- Adds indentation
- Doesn't show extra medals if there are none available
- Cleans up some of the undesired duplication in the drawer
- Even if there's only one level in the group, only skip over the mini linear list in a Time Attack mode
- Improves some of the jumpscare of looking into Lost and Found and being blasted to TEST RUN
- Fix lists of one map being wedged against the bottom of the screen
- Precache valid map count
- Revert the blanket exception so Lost and Found won't always have it available
- Won't be considered cheating to go to Test Run on game boot even if not unlocked
- Made the lack of exception for Test Run in Command_Map_f's cheat check more intentional
- Change scale and offsets of map icon to match other unlock types that show a single map
- Show a gametype string
- Fudges GT_VERSUS into GT_SPECIAL just like the menu does
- Shows "Match Race/Online" for a level with no preferred gametype like TEST RUN
- When selecting levels:
- If the gametype uses cups
- and a map has no cup
- and you're not in Grand Prix mode
- show those maps in a quasi-cup called "Lost and Found".
- Implementation details:
- a few == checks for the pointer to `cupheader_t dummy_lostandfound`
- Otherwise most of the apparatus was built as part of prior art!
- Defaults to 1, AKA Sonic 1/2 monitor
- Set to 2 for Sonic 3k monitor
- Supports a range of 1-9 and A-Z
- Permits fine-grained rapid-prototype stretch goal Chaotix monitor stuff later in development
- Fix the case where invalid levelsearch_t were providing values of false instead of NEXTMAP_INVALID
- Fix the case where M_GetFirstLevelInList was not returning NEXTMAP_INVALID for rearching nummapheaders
