Before we can add extra unlock features, we need to make sure we're not building on a house of sand.
- R_SkinUsable: Use Net Unlock system if playernum is -1
- R_BotDefaultSkin: Move to r_skins.c, cache skin search
- R_GetSkinAvailabilities: Use Net Unlock when called for bots (and always permit R_BotDefaultSkin)
- Got_AddBot: Call R_GetSkinAvailabilities for summoned bots to guarantee sync status of available skins
- K_UpdateMatchRaceBots: Tidy up to match grand prix bot skin selection system, hiding server-locked skins and defaulting to R_BotDefaultSkin if you don't have enough unlocked for the remaining player slots
- Normalize turning stats
- More friction
- Less acceleration
- Podium bots will go at a reduced speed when going towards a No Respawn waypoint, so they can calm down a bit before they get on their platform.
- Made titlemap + ceremony code more straight-forward by being able to set gamestate in G_DoLoadLevel directly
- Demos are only recorded on GS_LEVEL (fixes crash for ceremony + titlemaps)
- Added G_GamestateUsesLevel to encapsulate all checks for using level rendering
- Added GS_CEREMONY to wipedefs
- K_PodiumSequence just checks for GS_CEREMONY now (optimization)
The game can now properly go to the podium after GP
- Bots follow a slightly more strict path via waypoints
- Bots decide their starting waypoint path depending on their position. (The 1st place winner will start by chasing waypoint ID 1, etc)
- The map used for podium sequence can be decided via `PodiumMap = x` in MainCfg.
TODO:
- Camera work
- Add Lose / Win animation states when stopping at final waypoint
- Adjust physics so that the bots can follow the path more strictly in this mode
- Actually go to it after GP
Predict can be NULL if the bot's nextwaypoint is NULL, which happens consistently at the beginning of Speed Highway and can sometimes also occour on other otherwise functionally-waypointed sprint courses.
* The existing structs are now exclusively for handling extra data.
* `specialStage` has been renamed to `specialstageinfo`, to reflect that it is not the sole arbiter.
* `specialstageinfo.valid` and `bossinfo.valid` are what must be checked before grabbing data from either struct.
* These are turned on when the gametype extra data is successfully initialised, not on map start.
* `K_InitBossHealthBar(...)` for `bossinfo.valid`
* `K_InitSpecialStage(void)` for `specialstageinfo.valid`
* `K_CanChangeRules(...)` no longer checks these
* No longer uses duplicate encore information.
* The map command (and -warp) now guesses gametype using a general `G_GuessGametypeByTOL(UINT32)` function
* Grabs the first gametype with an overlap between the requested TOL and the gametype's TOL.
* The cool Versus-specific intro is now checked via `K_CheckBossIntro()`.
- Implementation details:
- grandprixinfo.eventmode is the reference point
- All bots have spectator applied and removed at map start depending on eventmode, and I've done my best to guard against side effects of not removing them entirely
- You shouldn't turn off grandprixinfo.gp when turning on things like specialStage.active or bossinfo.boss when pursuing eventmode behaviour
- Probably needs to be integrated into XD_MAP for any future netplay support, is currently disabled.
- You technically don't have to assign a Capsules map to be the bonus and a Special Stage to be the special. A Capsules map can be assigned to a Special Stage too, and a Boss can be assigned to either of them.
- Special Stages are still just as incomplete as they were before.
- Break the Capsules has special behaviour.
- Timelimit starts at 20 seconds.
- Earn 10 seconds (plus a little extra cheaty time) every capsule you destroy.
- WIN + extra life if you bust all the capsules, COOL if you get some but run out of time, LOSE if you lose your bumper or run out of time without breaking a single capsule.
- Supposed to also give you rings, but ran into a LOT of difficulty with this and didn't want to commit half-baked stuff, so it'll be a later project.
Also:
- Fix a long standing bug where totalring was reset between maps, preventing the sum from adding up across GP rounds and depriving you of extra lives you were owed.
- Fix an issue where Break the Capsules record attack was KARTSPEED_HARD.
- Send timelimitintics in savegames, since it's handled seperately now.
They try to predict their direction while they respawn, which makes them go a bit nuts when air time compensation kicks in. Cap it so that this can't happen.
An alternative to the standard pathfind function. Instead of pathfinding to a specific waypoint, it always goes towards the finish line waypoint, but also won't stop when it reaches it. It only stops when it travels a far enough distance.
This is basically a cleaner, less hacky, and optimized version of the pathfinding I gave to the bots; instead of doing 1-2 full pathfinds to do this (depending on if they are near the finish line or not), it will instead always do a single small pathfind. I also need it for shrink laser behavior.
- Invinc and sneaker can go up to BLASTER.
- Flame shield and momentum make only the boost by themselves.
- Hyuu and grow ignore tripwire so don't make ANY aura without any of the prior also occouring.
A subtle change, but means the bots are thinking ahead more about the track's design, rather than just what's in front of them. Instead of just "convenient" paths, they'll actively think about which path is the shortest.
The most significant thing this effects is making them use shortcuts more often.
