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
- Permits the use of the existing K_HandleMenuMessage MM_YESNO system, instead of the faked previous implementation
- Removes the "cl_requestmode" hack
- The only area of the game that fakes handling Menu Messages is the title screen, now, due to the lack of guarantees for menu inputs.
- *Also* permits Screenshots and video/lossless Recordings to be started/ended on this menu.
- 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.
- Have special message if cheats are enabled (it previously falsely said you could still save)
- Cleaner internal handling
- Always take you back to the title screen
Since it's a user-facing feature and not a speedrunner's assistant...
- If an issue is discovered, make a CONS_Alert instead of a complete failure and let the user know
- Replaces the unhelpful error of "Savegame %s corrupted"
- Store skins and cups as strings, not IDs
- Permits playing with differing mod loadouts if everything important is still loaded
- Won't error for bots having not-loaded skins - those are converted into Eggrobos.
- Instead of storing full roundqueue data, rebuild from the cup and check if the important details match
- Prevents having to include map name strings
- Add minor version to GP backups
- Permits more flexibility in future
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.
- If follower audience member has a certain flag, the bob/jump height is forced to zero
- UDMF: args[2] & 2
- Binary: The "Extra" flag
- If a follower audience member (or MT_EMBLEM with GE_FOLLOWER) has a bob/jump height of 0, use the idlestate instead of the movement state
- 3 splats spawn before the instawhip cooldown runs out
- Splats angle steeply outward in a triangle formation
- VFX is animated, animation runs out right when instawhip
cooldown completely runs out
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
- Points in the direction of the best waypoint to take
- Vwoops in and out like a drop target squash-n-stretch
- Shows WRONG WAY only on debugwaypoints
- Flexible enough to be used for custom purposes and other gametypes, the only caveat being if those gametypes use GTR_CIRCUIT conflicting with the other purpose of PF_WRONGWAY
Fixes the loops issue Tyron ran into. Way, way too much stuff was being initialized after P_SetupSpawnedMapThing instead of before.
Also get rid of weird doangle pointer crap, I don't understand why it did it that way to begin with? The only thing that I didn't write that needed to set it was P_SetupMace, which just seemed to be a weird hack to get around the weird ordering, instead of just changing the ordering? A lot of objects even double-calculate the angle just because it hasn't been set yet...
- Sprites have directional lighting, like walls
- For normal sprites: contrast is much stronger than walls
- Papersprites look the same as walls
- SpriteBacklight option in level header weakens the contrast for sprites only
- SpriteBacklight subtracts from LightContrast
- E.g. SpriteBacklight = 0 would let it match LightContrast
- E.g. SpriteBacklight = 60 would make the contrast much weaker
- Negative values make the contrast stronger
- Bird slopes can be made from UDMF sectors
- Group is now argument 3 on the line/sector action and argument 1 on the anchor, instead of using tags.
- The terminology no longer swaps between "tag" and "paramater" -- it's just called "group" now.
- Spawn them after player count has been calculated properly.
- Move gametype spawning into its own argument. Now instead of 1 flag that said it inverted Time Attack spawning but ACTUALLY just made it spawn in all modes, there's flags for the two gametypes which can be combined. Not setting any will use the old default behavior (rings are in both modes, items are multiplayer-only).
