- Item count has always scaled up with player count. Items
spawn every N tics. Previously, these items were evenly
distributed across all item spots. Now, only one monitor
is spawned at a time and the number of items inside scales
up.
- Emeralds spawn inside of monitors instead of loosely.
- Sphere boxes should spawn in the same way as before.
- Once a monitor has been spawned at an item spot, no more
monitors can be spawned there until that one is destroyed.
There's an additional delay of one spawn interval before
a monitor can be spawned in that location again. This is
so a monitor cannot ever instantly spawn back if one is
destroyed at just the right time.
- Includes a struct definition for symmetrical objects
made out of papersprite sides.
- Dimensions of papersprite sides are looked up using
sprite cache.
- Monitors may contain multiple types of items.
- Item RNG is deterministic from the time the monitor is
spawned but the item types are not stored in memory.
Instead the RNG seed is restored every time an item type
needs to be determined. Item types need to be determined
every time the icon on the monitor's screen changes and
when the monitor is popped and drops all its items.
- Monitors sparkle like emeralds if there is an emerald
inside.
- Monitors take damage from players simply bumping into
them. The damage scales up with speed and weight.
- Activating a lightning shield in proximity decimates the
monitor into being able to be destroyed in one hit by
anything thereafter.
- All throwable / deployable items destroy a monitor in
one hit.
- Don't spawn the KI if the duration <= 0
- If the KI spawned but the duration <= 0 for any other reason remove the object instead of performing the division
Requested by Charyb.
- LE_PINCHPHASE (-2 or 65534) for busting open the Catcher
- LE_BOSSDEAD (-4 or 65532) for grabbing the emerald
Would like to use args for UDMF compatibility but there is no spawnpoint for the Catcher so it's hardcoded for now
If you smuggle an SPB to after the death of the UFO Catcher, spawn a single, free-on-straightways manta ring before it blows up.
Testing shows that you can get hit by the SPB's explosion only if you use the free manta ring just before a sneaker panel... but also Sal thinks it's cool and I think it adds depth
* Standardises conditions under which the UFO Catcher can be "targeted" (Jawz, SPB, tether)
* Makes SPBs explode a little ahead of driving distance if UFO Catcher is no longer targetable
* Make everyone PF_NOCONTEST (but not explode) if the UFO/emerald reaches the end of its waypoint path.
- Possibly temporary: Make the UFO/emerald go straight up at its final waypoint
* If you have PF_NOCONTEST, K_IsPlayerLosing is true
* If special stage in action and the only reason you'd be behind is your position, nobody loses
* Never eliminate last in special stage
* Time Over funny camera no longer occurs when PF_NOCONTEST but not dead
* 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()`.
- Damage depends on item thrown at it.
- UFO speeds up when getting damaged.
- Made UFO speed up more often.
- First Special Stage item column is active farther back.
- Items can't be disabled if rules can't be changed.
- Item column code with items disabled uses fractional precision.
- Fixed bug with the new item table code to support different lengths better.
- Tweaked UFO speed values again.
- UFO is no longer solid.
- UFO is able to be damaged. (No damage values set yet, so it has an obnoxious amount of health.)
- Emerald becomes collectible when fully damaged.
- Jawz can target the UFO.
- Tweaked some of the speed values.
- UFO spawns at first waypoint for TOL_SPECIAL maps
- UFO moves up the waypoints, the speed varying based on your position relative to it and your own speed.
- You are able to tether off of the UFO.
- Bugfix: PathfindThruCircuit no longer fails when reaching a one-ended waypoint.
Damage is my next project but I wanted to get this committed for now.
Gremlins happened whenever P_TryMove and P_SlideMove/P_BounceMove disagreed on what an object collided with. When TryMove said you collided with a line, but P_BounceMove said that you didn't, then you'd get gremlin'd.
To fix this, P_TryMove now can edit a struct to contain information on what it collides with. P_SlideMove and P_BounceMove no longer try to detect walls on their own and now requires this result from P_TryMove. If a slide/bounce is needed without moving the object, then you'd want to use P_CheckMove to get the result.
Lua is not supported right now.
