Tyron said there is an "outstanding base game bug where an authenticated player can ghost and a new player will log in on their node, inheriting admin" ... wow that's terrifying! Let's reset admin for every instance of CL_ClearPlayer instead of only in CL_RemovePlayer.
- shout command to create a server message, with its own special sound cue & color
- shoutname to control the nametag, by default this is "SERVER"
- shoutcolor controls the color of the message. By default it's red, but there's also a option for player colored.
- autoshout makes any message sent by a admin/server automatically turn into a shout
- Unlike HOSTMOD shout, integrated it with the dedicated server say behavior -- using say on dedicated server is always a shout.
Length is determined by the "kicktime" cvar, in minutes. By default, this is set to 10, but I'm willing to adjust this. Only applies to manual kicks (in the future, maybe also name filter kicks).
The timestamp for the unban time is even saved in ban.txt, so long-term temporary bans are completely possible. (I checked, you can attempt to ban someone for up to 1902 years if you really want to.)
- Properly call D_SaveBan after remote bans. Bans are no longer saved in the ban command and instead wait for the actual kick to process, since before they were split between the two, which is what caused the discrepancy.
The part of HOSTMOD ministats that I wanted. Can go back to ms using the pingmeasurement cvar.
If Tyron wants to bring ministats fully in I think it'd be better to bring its ideas to replace the current HUD instead, ideally using the existing ping gfx, so they should bring it up with Oni
- Negative speed weather will spawn from a floor in a sector with a sky ceiling, and go up into the ceiling.
- (Not really the same as reverse gravity weather in that aspect, because that would be for sky floors.)
- Fixed invert precipitation flag for linedef type 8 being completely unimplemented. (How long has it been like this...?)
- Fix swapping weather on the fly having reversed momz
Allows for custom weather types.
In SOC:
```Freeslot
PRECIP_GROOVY
Weather PRECIP_GROOVY
Type = MT_PARTICLE
Effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING```
In Lua:
```freeslot("PRECIP_GROOVY")
precipprops[PRECIP_GROOVY] = {
type = MT_PARTICLE,
effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING
}```
Then in level header, simply set `Weather = PRECIP_GROOVY`.
Other properties are part of the object itself:
- Falling speed is set as the object's speed
- Sound ID is set via the object's SeeSound
- Sound frequency is set by the object's Mass.
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.
An explanation for the approach: I started writing a whole system where an extra pflag would be defined for "colour is not currently the player's ACTUAL colour". Then I looked at the actual code flow that would be affected by it - the single line guarded by `if (forcereset)` - and decided it was simpler to just do an extra write in this once-per-player-per-frame function instead of increasing across-the-board complexity.
