Discussed in DMs
- All other `MainCfg` block properties require a custom gamedata (or be a main file) to be modified
- When a custom gamedata is set, clear all unlockables, conditionsets, and emblems are unconditionally cleared
- You may also Clear Levels only if a custom gamedata is used
- You can now create an unlockable that gives you an emblem only with SECRET_EXTRAEMBLEM.
- One step above the completely rewardless squares from Kirby Air Ride.
- Added color to `unlockable_t`.
- Can be used both with user-specified icons (remappable green->color) and with non-SECRET_SKIN default graphics (invincibility full-range remap)
- Replaced condition type UC_EXTRAEMBLEM with the more general UC_UNLOCKABLE.
- MAXUNLOCKABLES is now == MAXCONDITIONSETS
Mammoth commit, sorry. I only realised halfway through writing it that SECRET_SKIN was only partially merged.
Ports from 2.2:
- Merge SECRET_SKIN (STJr/SRB2!1474)
- Default skin is now handled by checking all skins for unlock status, and I_Erroring if none are available
- Don't show skin names on game startup, to keep our secrets hidden
- Unlockables now have string variables zallocated.
- For skin names rather than numbers.
- Correctly clean up memory when freeing unlockables and emblems.
Bespoke code:
- For temporary testing. `unlocks.pk3`
- Using this for rapid testing gameboot SOC instead of patch.pk3 because of the intent to turn that into scripts.pk3
- Don't not save gamedata in DEVELOP builds, even if you've used cheats!
- `player->availabilities` is now an array of UINT8
- (MAXSKINS + 7)/8 entries, or 32 bytes.
- Included with XD_ADDPLAYER instead of XD_NAMEANDCOLOR.
- Simplifies a lot of logic with respect to demos, skin changes mid-game, etc.
- Seriously, there's a lot of random places in the code that just iterate over MAXSPLITSCREENPLAYERS and g_localplayers to update availabilities in real time in a way that's not particularly netsafe...
- Lines up with the plan for handling unlocks when returning to menus.
- Was included with XD_ADDBOT, but that actually overruns the netxcmd buffer at first mapload with 7 bots. We might need to consider expanding the size of the netxcmd buffer...
- In demos, can be interpreted as both relative to the original replay and the current skin list depending on boolean context provided to R_SkinUsable.
- Used for SF_IRONMAN (and will crash if all other skins are inaccessible).
- Grand Prix bot randomisation uses the host's unlocks.
- Don't show locked characters on the fancy new character select.
- DXD_JOINDATA for demos
- Replaces the dual-purpose behaviour of DXD_PLAYSTATE
- Contains availabilities
- Handles bot material in a different way
- Forceskin restrictions
- Won't run in demos, because it's assumed recorded DXD_SKIN will handle all the conversions the original match had
- Won't run if K_CanChangeRules says no
- Correctly set `mapvisited` on level visit, even in [fake gasp] MULTIPLAYER/NETGAMES!! 🥹
- Added updating unlockables and extra emblems on `mapvisited` update.
- Currently fails to produce the cecho, but that'll be stripped out entirely in a future commit so I'm not bothered.
- Followers now have categories, definable in SOC
- New character select step: Follower category
- "None" is a category, just skips straight to Follower None
- Select a category to go to the previous regular follower selection step
- Press the C/Extra button to reset a character select step to its "default"
- Character: Center the character in the engine class (goes from [0,1] to [1,1], etc)
- Character alts: Centers the "primary" alt (prefers Eggman over Eggrobo)
- Skincolor: Centers the character's prefcolour
- Follower category: Centers on the "None" option
- Follower: [CURRENTLY NO BEHAVIOUR]
- Followercolor: Cycles between follower's defaultcolour, "Match", and "Opposite"
Allows for custom weather types.
In SOC:
```Freeslot
PRECIP_GROOVY
Weather PRECIP_GROOVY
Type = MT_PARTICLE
Effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING```
In Lua:
```freeslot("PRECIP_GROOVY")
precipprops[PRECIP_GROOVY] = {
type = MT_PARTICLE,
effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING
}```
Then in level header, simply set `Weather = PRECIP_GROOVY`.
Other properties are part of the object itself:
- Falling speed is set as the object's speed
- Sound ID is set via the object's SeeSound
- Sound frequency is set by the object's Mass.
* Rework HU_UpdatePatch to HU_UpdateOrBlankPatch with a "required" boolean.
* If desired graphic is not present in resources:
* If required is true, return `missingpat`.
* If false, return NULL as before (font compatibility).
* Add an alias with the previous function signature, so you don't need to add a million `true`s everywhere.
* Remove a ton of irrelevant graphics the game attempts to cache only because of code inherited from vanilla SRB2.
* Remove the unused hudinfo system, also inherited from vanilla SRB2.
