- Re-saved every time you lose a life, to prevent scumming
- Force-deletion of your backup has changed
- Don't when saying NO to the GP Backup load prompt
- Don't when returning to titlescreen under non-DEVELOP
- DO when starting a new Grand Prix session of any cup
Since it's a user-facing feature and not a speedrunner's assistant...
- If an issue is discovered, make a CONS_Alert instead of a complete failure and let the user know
- Replaces the unhelpful error of "Savegame %s corrupted"
- Store skins and cups as strings, not IDs
- Permits playing with differing mod loadouts if everything important is still loaded
- Won't error for bots having not-loaded skins - those are converted into Eggrobos.
- Instead of storing full roundqueue data, rebuild from the cup and check if the important details match
- Prevents having to include map name strings
- Add minor version to GP backups
- Permits more flexibility in future
- Now called "Grand Prix Backup"
- Filename is now `gpringsav.bkp`
- Since available in standard contexts, do a little extra guarding against unsporting behaviour:
- In non-DEVELOP builds, delete Grand Prix Backup when returning to the titlescreen/menus.
- "undo your extra work and make it more generic" - Tyron
Associated menu stuff is rough and unpolished, but it's 1am for the author of this commit.
- Activated for this session by either of the following Passwords.
- `savetheframes`
- `savetheanimals`
- The idea is that if Ring Racers were ever ran at a GDQ, runners would swear their alliegance to a particular Metroid routing at the startup stage, because I think it's funny and cute.
- A live event backup is created/overwritten on non-cheated grandprix level change.
- It's wiped on reaching the podium.
- When hitting PLAY on the main menu, if a live event backup exists, make a Menu Message.
- If you hit A, turn live event backups on for this session, and load the backup.
- If you hit B/X, delete the backup and proceed to character select.
- Done this way to avoid cheating a different character to the end of GP.
- Unlike the (maybe a little over-)engineering of ringdata.dat, liveringbak.bkp is streamlined as all hells and has very little recovery for differing file lists.
- Points in the direction of the best waypoint to take
- Vwoops in and out like a drop target squash-n-stretch
- Shows WRONG WAY only on debugwaypoints
- Flexible enough to be used for custom purposes and other gametypes, the only caveat being if those gametypes use GTR_CIRCUIT conflicting with the other purpose of PF_WRONGWAY
Immense 25-file diff, so spun off into its own branch.
- Improved appearance
- Not just a big block of text on a blue background
- Well, OK, the main part is, but some stuff has been spun out into its own fields
- Title text
- Text and button prompt for Yes/No or OK
- Slides with pow on and off the screen
- Disabled MM_EVENTHANDLER, which has always been dog but got considerably worse after newmenus to the point nothing's using it anymore
- Required in order to reduce the reliance on FUNCPTRCAST, which prevents Eidolon from compiling some stuff because it's not valid C++
Attempts to recover Challenge Grids that aren't quite appropriate for the current suite of unlocks.
- If there's multiple small tiles pointing to the same unlock, turn the later ones empty.
- If there's a small tile that SHOULD present on the grid and an empty spot, put the needed tile in that spot.
- Otherwise, regenerate the entire grid.
This will permit us to change the number of unlockables without forcing people to run with the command line param `-resetchallengegrid` to see 'em.
- LF2_HIDEINMENU is considered equivalent to LF2_FINISHNEEDED for:
- S_SoundTestDefLocked
- So you don't see podium stuff without having beaten a GP
- MV_FINISHNEEDED
- So the status is saved to gamedata and persists between launches if custom
- G_UpdateVisited is now called in K_FinishCeremony, so level is marked as beaten
- The previous location for updating grandprixinfo.rank.position and grandprixinfo.rank.skin was too early.
- K_GetPodiumPosition checks player->score
- Y_StartIntermission calls Y_CalculateMatchData
- Y_CalculateMatchData checks K_CalculateGPGrade... which uses invalid position info to determine grade!
- Y_CalculateMatchData updates player score
- To this end, rearrange Y_CalculateMatchData to accomodate.
- Calls K_UpdateGPRank.
- Then, calls K_CalculateGPGrade.
- Also called after G_UpdateVisited if no intermission occours, for general consistency.
- In addition, adjust so earlier players have port priority for skin saved to gamedata.
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:
# src/d_clisrv.h
- 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
