* Deaths in record attack no longer put you into a glitchy singleplayer game-over state that we somehow both kept around and also broke since we branched Kart off of Vanilla..
* Fix non-standard mapscales making the Death Egg respawn octagons dissasemble themselves.
* Allow for MULTIPLE TIME EMBLEMS PER MAP, at least in the emblem UI on the timer. It shows all completed emblems plus the uncompleted emblem up to a total of three.
* Major tweaks to the First Person HUD.
* I know this was your baby, Sal, and some of the changes may prove controversial - so I've put the ones that are likely to cause the most fuss inside an ifndef block, so that you can toggle it as you please with minimal code changes.
* Dontdraw-ness, transparency, and colorization match the player's object!
* Moves around on the screen with respect to the direction of the player object's motion, to make drifting look nicer!
* Flashes the colour of your drift sparks.
* Did a WHOLE bunch of things with respect to music. I'm not sure how to describe this, so I'll go through step-by-step.
* Countdowns now play the drowning music again.
* Removed/disabled extraenous P_RestoreMusics.
* Made map-ending music called by its own function, P_EndingMusic(player_t *player).
* Made the ending music play on the LAST player crossing the finishing line in splitscreen, rather than first.
* Make dead players spinout and clip through the floor, at least until we add the new death anims.
* Fix prior pogo spring usage making dead players fall faster.
* Make the time over countdown use the kart font when not splitscreen with 3 or 4 players.
* Removed a weird bonus HWR_DrawCroppedPatch function signature in the hardware header.
OLD SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres in old special stages instead of rings!
* Individual timers in old special stages instead of a global one!
* Old special stages use a variant of the NiGHTS HUD now!
* Special stage damage in old special stages loses 5 seconds of time instead of 10 rings/spheres!
* All damage gained through old special stages is converted to special stage damage! As a consequence, the special spikeball has no need to be special anymore.
* Made emerald gaining function be based on special stage number rather than gained emeralds!
* Consistency with...
NiGHTS SPECIAL STAGES:
* Spheres now flash in bonus time. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452590553100713984/srb20032.gif
* Sphere and ring mapthingnums are now less fucked up in 'em. (Rings are 300, same as usual, while Spheres are now 1706 replacing NiGHTS Wings.)
SPECIAL STAGES IN GENERAL:
* useNightsSS is now dead. Each individual special stage is now assessed for NiGHTS-mode behaviour based on maptol & TOL_NIGHTS.
* CRAWLA HONCHO\n CAN NOW BE\n SUPER CRAWLA HONCHO end tally modification now also includes a mini-tutorial on turning super. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
* SONIC GOT A CHAOS EMERALD? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452623869497573386/srb20034.gif
NiGHTS NON-SPECIAL STAGES:
* Colour Chips and Star Chips! Replaces Spheres and Rings of NiGHTS Special Stages.
* Colour Chips turn yellow in bonus time.
* Ideya!
* Its own "drowning" music!
* All of the object types for Dream Hill.
* GIF: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400761370800422922/452844894113759233/srb20036.gif
RANDOM BS:
* Turn super with the spin button instead of the jump button!
* Followmobj now correctly set with P_SetTarget instead of pointer assignment.
* Emerald hunt uses new sprites!
* Made unlock noise different from emblem gain noise! (It's the CRAWLA HONCHO CAN NOW TURN yadda yadda sound from S3K now.)
* Add damagetype to P_RadiusAttack (optinteger in lua, A_Explode var1).
* Removed the prevention of MF_BOSS objects from getting P_RadiusAttacked. This was a holdover from DooM (I checked) - a way to prevent the Cyberdemon from gibbing itself when firing point blank into a wall, and also a way to make it and the Spider Mastermind harder.
* Enemies are solid to other enemies movement-wise now.
* (Fun little aside - if you remove MF_SOLID from a monitor, it now behaves like they did in Sonic Adventure (poppable by colliding with, not just attacking).
* Fixed Metal Sonic battle conflict in MF_PAIN/mass not picked up earlier.
* Miscellaneous tiny code tweaks.
* MF_PAIN and MF_MISSILE now support setting damagetype via their Mass parameter. The two existing conflicts - the fuse setting for the grenade weapon ring and the Cybrakdemon napalm bomb - had these moved to other free parameters.
* A_ConnectToGround is EXTREMELY useful for palmtrees and stuff.
* Some other, relatively hacky A_ functions.
* (Unrelated) Remove the need for a "Mario block mode" for the token by making it natively compatible.
* Spikes and their time-offsetting via that Lua script sphere made. Also allow for wallspikes to do it via their angle/360.
* Handle all chain objects as a hnext/hprev chain.
* When removing mobjs with hnext/hprev, "repair the chain" (make the h links meet).
* Fix hidden slings, which I accidentially broke when I revamped maces the first time.
* Kill MF2_MACEROTATE. Not needed for anything anymore.
* P_MaceRotate now available to Lua to make up for it.
* Related: Made modifying hnext/hprev using Lua safer, so it keeps the reference counts in play.
Set up similar to NiGHTS Mare linedef executors. Give a sector the "Race
Lap" sector type, tag it, then set the frontside x-offset on the trigger
line to the lap it should activate on minus 1. There are a few flags you
can check on the trigger line to modify its behavior.
- Normally the executor will only trigger if its exactly on the lap
specified. Check Not Climbable to make it execute on laps equal to or
greater than, or check Block Enemies to make it execute on laps equal to
or less than.
- By default, the executor will check current lap with the person in
last's lap. Check E4 to instead find the current lap from the player who
triggered it. This flag is better for triggering events ahead of the
players, while the default effect is better for triggering events behind
the players.
- Improve balloon-based items. Much more distinguished differences
between the different ranks
- Reverted Feather strafing. You can now just... properly move in the
air, if you're using a Feather or a Bounce Pad.
- Bounce pads are now stronger while using speed items.
- Fixed the long standing bug about offroad & ziplines working when
you're on FOFs above them. This is a tricky subject, so please report
any issues you may come across related to this.
- Shells should no longer travel to Mars, nor will they when using
bounce pads. They should now do a gentle hop.
- :WIP: new MP Player Setup screen, now shows character stats. Will
later feature the list of characters in a row of icons, and a backported
2.2 color selector with toast's permission
- Renamed "Match" to "Battle" :p
- Yet MORE minor cases where kartspeed & kartweight were being read as
fixed_t when they're freakin' UINT8's, people!
"movebob" lets you determine the strength of movement bobbing (does not
affect landing delta, that's technically not movement bobbing :p),
values range from 0.0 to 4.0. viewheight is now relative to
player->height.
* cv_useranalog is now hidden from the menu.
* Directionchar now attempts to face the camera direction when you're standing still, and handles a few other states with more decorum.
* Tailsbot is now slightly more capable of keeping up with Sonic.
* pflags rearranged/adjusted, combining a few non-simulstaneous ones and turning PF_NIGHTSFALL into CR_NIGHTSFALL.
* [unrelated to branch] all ground-impact based abilities now happen more consistently with quicksand.
* Make setting steallives to true respawn every game overed spectator.
* Make a minimum on the number of lives GetLives can get you.
* Add "You'll steal a life on respawn" to spectator screen.
* P_GiveCoopLives bundles the coop lives reward for everyone versus reward for one person in other gametypes thing into one function. Available in Lua.
Needs a bunch of changes to HUD rendering, especially in splitscreen, which doesn't try to show spectator stuff whatsoever. Also, if you're the player whose respawn determines when the map reloads, you'll see the spectator text during the front half of the fade. Unless, of course, it's 2-player mode.
MI's unimportant code cleanup
Just removing a bunch of unused variables/function prototypes from the source code and similarly minor stuff, nothing here should change gameplay much (if at all).
See merge request !71
* Getting hit whilst on a swinging mace doesn't send you off in roll/jump state.
* P_GetJumpFlags replaces a bunch of copypasted code.
* Homing attacking a spring sends you directly on its path, rather than rocketing off in the direction you were preiously hurtling in.
*P_LookForEnemies is now side-effect-less and only provides a pointer to the found mobj
*player-jumping is dead, long live PF_STARTJUMP
*per Mystic's request, CA2_GUNSLINGER has a targeting icon. It also has a more restricted vertical aiming range.
*mobj for this is in the game as requested
*fast teetering animation flag
*general code cleanup
* CA2_MELEE/CA_TWINSPIN combination abilities (ground hit, somersalt) disabled.
* Enabled movement controls whilst using CA2_MELEE in the air.
* CA2_GUNSLINGER no longer requires charging. In exchange, it involves a cooldown in which you can't move.
* CA2_GUNSLINGER lock-on distance improved, and aiming allowance reduced to compensate.
* Lots of cleanup/gravflip allowances for homing/targeting code.
* Unrelated: Flickies now properly face the direction they're supposed to when getting knocked out of the egg capsule.
* Unrelated: Thok trail fades like spindash trail now.
* Unrelated: Using CA_HOMINGATTACK when nowhere near an enemy uncurls you.
* Mildly hacky proof of concept! Will de-hack later.
* Charge up your ability!
* You can only damage others if it's at full power.
* Fires directly at enemies/bosses when at full power. Does NOT aim at players.
* Fixed a major hack from when I SPR2ised NiGHTS by spawning in a null object.
* Made P_LookForEnemies better in preperation for the future.
* Changed some defaulting characteristics of P_GetMobjSprite2.
* Fixed CA_DOUBLEJUMP potentially counting as a float.
* Killed some extremely small boolean functions and replaced them with #defines.
they are basically unused outside of timeattack and checkpointtimes isn't sent for netplay anyway
we can reimplement later with a more sensible solution for lap times in time attack
* MT_EXPLODE's anims partially FF_ANIMATE'd.
* A_FlickySpawn turned into a wrapper for internal function that does what A_FlickySpawn did but returns a pointer to the spawned flicky.
Sprite2 changes
Some stuff!
* Lua access to sprite2.
* Introducing new Lua-exclusive function, P_IsValidSprite2(mo, spr2). Basically just a wrapper for (((skin_t *)mobj->skin)->sprites[spr2].numframes > 0), useful for creating custom sprite2 defaulting functions since hooking into P_GetMobjSprite2 wouldn't be worth it.
* FF_ANIMATE support for sprite2s. The var2 of the state works identically to normal FF_ANIMATE, but var1 is completely disregarded - it just runs all of the frames available to that one sprite2 animation set.
* As a result, a bunch of states which were either not previously animatable or had animated at constant speed now get animation without state changes.
* P_SetMobjState now supports sprite2 defaulting like P_SetPlayerMobjState does.
See merge request !51
* All Lua-originated sprite2 settings are now forced through P_GetMobjSprite2. Makes sense because of SPR2_JUMP, which none of the main characters have sprites for yet all use.
* Cleaned up P_GetMobjSprite2 to not set irrelevant, otherwise-unused variable.
