- Now actually from the relevant GP difficulty's Cupgrid, instead of the top-level Play choice
- Permits a much cleaner M_StartCup, combining two of the previously four copypasted, slightly modified level startup regions (which could be further combined for sanity's sake, but would take a LITTLE more work right now than I have in me)
- Shows a funny exclamation mark from Sonic Rush on the relevant cup on the grid
- Selected by default when loading the menu, if appropriate
The author of this commit ran into an issue while testing previous changes where a Menu Message had MM_NOTHING but a Yes and No string, leading to misleading appearances. This prevents that footgun from happening again.
- 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
- M_StopMessage is now in charge of setting the answer to a given prompt.
- Menu Messages can now be dismissed on the title screen, instead of carried into the top-level menu transition.
Slicker, prevents the issue where a transition after pressing accept on a prompt would be instant.
Also guarantees M_StopMessage is called even for MM_NOTHING, even with a custom routine.
- 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.
Cvar was previously "eggmanmonitor" inherited from a completely different implementation of the item
Menu was previously "Eggman Mark", which was good inspiration but too unwieldy
Has been blended together per Gardentop and VC discussion
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++
I considered restricting it even further to "unlock every minor unlock that can be unlocked by a Chao Key", but decided that if you haven't "completed the game" yet, you should still be periodically reminded of it.
- Anti-tailgate measure for the SMK titlescreen recreation (prevents slots on the same row from being used immediately one after the other)
- Slightly reduce spinout chance since it felt too frequent
`banana` was the cheat for the previous entry in the series.
Visuals are incomplete but I have to go out in a little bit and the bulk of it is done
(The Tournament mode cheat's password is "placeholder" for now.)
- Type in anything you want
- On closing the field, if a cheat sequence is matched *exactly*, activate it!
- Directly hooked up to a modified form of the previously existing SCRAMBLE interpreter system in m_cheat.c
- The existing cht_Responder call in D_ProcessEvents is gone
- Done this way because the new input paragadim is not very friendly to unqualified keyboard/controller input, and we still want text
- Plenty of opportunity to add fun future passwords in addition to the currently underbaked Tournament Mode
- Got a debug M_StartMessage just so you can tell what's up without sound
- Takes a second and a half.
- No accidential usage of your hard-earned Chao Keys.
- Does a full clockwise rotation around the unlocked spot, so there's an intuitive understanding of how long you have to bail out.
- Fix a softlock caused by commit 8d9b42e4 (!!)
- If your profile's skin was locked, fix a softlock where control was never restored
- If your profile's skin didn't exist, fix an invalid skin id set
- Just straight up flatten out the nested complexity of this function
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
More opportunities for early rejection in table-wide searches, in anticipation of future work.
- Many circumstances independently implemented string name comparisons. Most of these have been converted to use R_SkinAvailable, with one exception.
- M_CharacterSelectInit already needs to iterate over the characters, so produce the skin hash independently.
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).
The intersection between processed buttons and raw keyboard data is a messy one and will probably never be perfect, but it is now consistent.
- Never overwrite a valid keyboard menuKey recieved this frame with a -1 if a different type of event is recieved as well.
- Store previous state of dpad_lr and dpad_ud on menucmd struct.
- Previously, if `a` was bound to Turn Left, it could produce a valid menuKey for one frame, then be considered a leftward input - switching from manual keyboard to Virtual Keyboard.
- It still only produces a valid menuKey for one frame... but we simply filter out leftward inputs that are older than this frame to keep things (relatively) clean.
- Show a textbox (with highlighted border) so the console font is more likely to be legible.
- Increases the width of the virtual keys to match this.
- Show menu entry name and tooltip on faded view (if they exist), for additional context for what you're writing
- Make the text entry and the virtual keys slide seperately
- `_OCEAN` on first launch without profile set, to avoid skipping between three different tracks in quick succession
- 'FILE' if you create a new profile on first launch OR if you go into Options->Profiles
- Variable width key support
- Rearrangement of keys to take advantage of this
- Uses thin strings
- Or arrow sigils for backspace/shift
- Shift and caps lock have been visually combined to match other virtual keyboards
- Press shift once to enable shift, press again to disable shift and enable caps lock
- Indicator light on shift to show capslock state
