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.
The rules for accompanying flags are:
* If FF_TRANSLUCENT, deflag FF_CUTLEVEL and flag FF_EXTRA | FF_CUTEXTRA.
* If not FF_TRANSLUCENT, flag FF_CUTLEVEL and deflag FF_EXTRA | FF_CUTEXTRA
* If FF_SOLID, deflag FF_CUTSPRITES
* If not FF_SOLID, flag FF_CUTSPRITES
This reverts commit 8f149075a6.
Why: FF_TRANSLUCENT is often packaged with flags FF_EXTRA, FF_CUTEXTRA; for intangibles, FF_CUTSPIRTES; in some cases (?), FF_CUTLEVEL. I *think* the rules are consistent amongst predefined FOFs, but maybe there are exceptions?
There's too much that can go wrong with assuming too many flags for an FOF. Just make it the modder's responsibility to tag this special to the proper translucent FOF.
* cv_powerupdisplay. Never, First-person only (default), Always.
* New monitor stuff.
* Fixed hitmessages.
* Some CTF stuff.
* Aaaaugh it's a lot I hate myself I need to work on my coursework.
* I'll figure out what I did here in the merge request when that's done.
Should make it a lot easier to add more gametypes later.
Also some minor fixes:
- Changed up how shell speed scales in mobjscale juuuust slightly, so
it's less messy
- Fixed CHECK showing spectators
Anyone in the top 50% gets winning music & blue position, everyone below
gets the losing music & red position. For odd numbers, it rounds up.
2p: 1st wins, 2nd loses
3p: 1-2 win, 3rd loses
4p: 1-2 win, 3-4 lose
5p: 1-3 win, 4-5 lose
6p: 1-3 win, 4-6 lose
7p: 1-4 win, 5-7 lose
8p: 1-4 win, 5-8 lose (SMK)
12p: 1-6 win, 7-12 lose (modern MK)
16p: 1-8 win, 9-16 lose (max player count)
In big netgames you won't just hear the losing music all of the time now
:V
- Record Attack replays now save best lap time
- Removed instances of NiGHTS Attack
- Removed a lot of unlockable that have no use in Kart (ultimate mode,
perfect bonus, score emblems, etc)
- Removed all methods of activating ultimate mode
- 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!
- Position faces are now drawn in Battle, categorized first by balloons,
then by points
- Balloon-based items, gives people who are worse off better items, and
people who are better off worse items.
- You can strafe while using feather or while using a bounce pad
- Reduced the strength of bounce pad thrust on items
- Increased bounce pad's minimum forward push on players
- Made Frantic Mode just a teeeeensy bit more frantic
- Fixed being able to use Feathers mid-air
- Fixed being unable to steal Feathers
- Drift sparks use frameangle instead of angle
- K_DoBouncePad now uses mobj_t instead of player_t
- Bounce pads can now bump thrown shells
- Bounce pads now give heavier gravity to players
- The suicide command now works in all gamemodes
- Comeback timer is now always 10 seconds instead of scaling
- Takes 10 seconds before exiting
- Flashing tics is doubled in Battle Mode
- Removed a bunch of bomb nerfs
- Bombs are back to making only 1 point per hit
- Exposed K_GetKartAccel & K_GetKartFlashing to Lua
- Item boxes should no longer drop while going up slopes
- Trading item boxes with a bomb should turn you back into a bomb
- Balloons should no longer all respawn when dying in pits in 2-player
games
- Flashing players are able to kill *thrown* shells again (shields and
trap items are still unkillable). Prevents red shells from being able to
stick to a flashing player and hurt them again as soon as they're done
flashing
- CHECK appears at a farther distance
- Player arrows now show if a player is in the item roulette
- Boo has been improved, and added back to Battle's item roulette
- The CHECK HUD item is now more accurate, and should appear more often
- Early comeback mechanic. Functional, but really unpolished
- Attempted (again) to make the first player to join in a netgame spawn
with balloons
- No longer shows respawn text on death
