- All inputs create input events that get stored in a very
small buffer
- Normally, the game listens for some inputs and then
immediately processes them and updates the button state
in-game
- However, during wipes the processing step would not
happen and it would just let the events pile up
- Because the buffer is small though, it would quickly
fill up and lose some events
- This would lead to button states getting stuck on some
controllers if you released a button during a wipe
- If you spun an analog stick around, this would cause
it to happen more frequently, because there is a new
event for every slight change of an analog stick's
position
Notable deletions:
- Metal Sonic Race
- Includes all the specialised recording/playback apparatus which made g_demo.c harder to read
- A bunch of hyperspecialised code inside several A_ actions
- EXCEPTION: intentfully left in the spriteless SMK stuff for Sal's add-on down the line.
- Go to a MainCfg-specified map on its guessed gametype
- `TutorialChallengeMap = RR_ZonedCity`
- Some unique settings
- K_CanChangeRules() == false
- If GTR_CIRCUIT, make it Hard Speed
- If GTR_BUMPERS, die in one hit
- If GTR_BOTS, make them all difficulty 13 of the default bot skin
- No Medals or Spray Cans during the Tutorial Challenge
- Complete the stage in 1st place or don't bother at all
- Has the "Give up" menu option available, but no "Try Again"
- Condition for successfully completing the Tutorial Skip
- `Condition1 = TutorialSkip`
Related bugfixes:
- Correctly wipe skipstats when returning to the Title/menus
- Typing of `ultimatemode` (hey this isn't accessible by anything right now I wonder)
- Add lua_profile cheat: calculate average time spent in
hooks over a period
- Show hook times in a sorted table, along with lump name,
script line number and hook type
- Show cumulative time spent in game logic hooks and
percentage of overhead to game logic
Fixes several things to do with the boss healthbar.
- Makes its randomised jitter work with interp/pause
- Constantly calling the external PRNG tanks performance, at least on Windows, so this solves that too
Done as a special non-netsynced random class so the author of this commit wouldn't have to create a third suite of duplicated Random functions.
