* Decreasing number of writes - now the unchanging gametype is only written once, and both gametypes are written as UINT8s instead of UINT16s.
* Increasing size of buffer to match new threshold.
* Palette remaps.
* Branding.
TODO:
* Doesn't work in GL. (Mostly.) I have SOME ideas on how to tackle this, but...
* Transmaps are broken in Encore for some reason.
* I tried to make in-level colormaps shimmy over, but it didn't quite work, so I commented it out and only semi-fixed it.
* Force map hell if there are two or more non-spectators (ie, same condition as to not be in FREE PLAY) and everyone has selected the RANDOM level slot.
* Unique gasp-and-Shulk-based sounds for both forced and non-forced map hell occourances.
* Activates when there are less than two non-spectators in a netgame.
* Shows flashing text at the bottom of the screen.
* Prevents drawing several UI elements that only make sense with multiple players.
* Prevents matchesplayed being increased.
* Improve the mapreset timer's behaviour.
* Now you get to see the HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER screen as the starting frame of the relevant map transition, since it happens on mapreset being 1 rather than 0.
* Make a bunch of normal gameplay stuff that might've activated unnecessarily during mapreset now not able to.
* Hide some other stuff that might've been visible for no good reason.
* Improve Mirror mode.
* First person now works with it!
* Tweaked the minimap player heads. Although the main section of the automap is mirrored, it feels... wrong to mirror the player head? IDK, you may wish to revert this, but given that everything else is the right way around except for the level itself...* Disable the titlescreen demos, at least until we actually gear up for release and make real ones.
* Disable the titlescreen demos, at least until we actually gear up for release and make real ones.
* Stop respawning spectators when their PF_WANTSTOJOIN request hasn't been processed yet.
* Handle PF_WANTSTOJOIN requests in GS_WAITINGPLAYERS.
* Refactor K_CheckSpectateStatus, and make it so PF_WANTSTOJOIN requests are processed if there's only one player in the server, even if they're on lap 2 or up.
* Make the player entry mechanism in P_SpawnPlayer use the PF_WANTSTOJOIN mechanism so that it can also take advantage of the level refresh mechanism with no extra code.
* NOTE: This does a bad hack in order to not send multiple mapchanges while the joining timer is low! If you can think of a better way to do this, please let me know/commit it.
* Change the timer until you can hit ITEM again when a spectator who has to wait to join shorter.
* (controversial, but I think necessary) - flash the ITEM text when the above-mentioned timer is nonzero.
- New player flag, PF_WANTSTOJOIN, added for setting up a spectator queue. You are allowed to join as long as no one has started lap 2.
- Map resets when two people have entered the game, so matches can start naturally without the need of an admin.
- Getting wipeout bumped into offroad slows you down
- Orbinaut & Jawz are relative to your weight (Jawz is heavier), via new function K_GetMobjWeight
- Reorangized where K_KartBouncing is called so that wipeout changes don't affect Eggman Items
- You can bump other people during spinout.
- Bumping during spinout activates a "slow down" timer, which increases your friction after a few tics.
- You have a Smash-style dust effect after a spinout bump, indicating clearly if you'll slow down or not.
* Make it two seconds exactly, instead of two and change.
* Draw it in battle too!
* While testing the above, I discovered 3p's karma comeback timer drawing was slightly broken. Fixed that too.
* d_main.c - fix the wipedef for skipping to the titlescreen to be the checkered one again.
* k_kart.c - Tweak drawtime's setting slightly.
* y_inter.c - Make endtic ALWAYS set when not netgame/splitscreen, to prevent an undesirable, possible hang whenever we add more stuff later.
* Combine three basically-identical functions into a generic framework function that takes a function pointer for the purposes of comparison!
* Y_CalculateMatchData handles the (re)calculation of data.match whenever necessary.
* Y_CompareRace handles time comparisons for Race.
* Y_CompareBattle handles score comparisons for Battle.
* Y_CompareRank handles rank comparisons for both gametypes.
* Move the recalculation for the rankingsmode to a different, non-drawing function.
* Re-organise Y_Ticker for sanity purposes.
* Tweak the countdown timer on both intermission and vote screens.
* Per Sal's request, remove all commented out code that was just inhereted from vanilla (or is unlikely to ever be re-enabled again if it was written for Kart) in y_inter.c.
What the heck does THAT supposed to mean, I hear you ask? Well...
- Mashing for items' effect on chances is now relative to how fast you pressed it! I'll give a more detailed explanation in #main_kart_dev.
- Instead of coding the Auto Frantic Items setting like I said I would, I did the same effect in a completely different way! Odds will automatically get better depending on how many players below 5 there are.
Instead of comparing k_growshrinktimer in awkward ways, just make sure the squishing player's scale is high enough above the victim's scale. This way, we can allow shrunk players to bump other shrunk players, and grown players to bump other grown players.
- Further divide the 2 screens' functionality; the first screen is purely for match results, the second screen is purely for rank results. (only time/score is on the first page, only rank and rank increase is on the second page, instead of time/score and rank increase being on the first page, then rank increase carries over to the rank page...)
- The page switch now happens at exactly the halfway point of the intermission timer
- It now uses a cool picture of the view buffer, like SRB2 SP, except faded, instead of the previous intermission tile.
- Fixed an issue with the previous commit.
* Made Got_Teamchange's level-based stuff only happen in GS_LEVEL.
* If, by chance, DoTimeOver gets called on a player without an object, it won't crash either.
* Make ending music play when you get time overed.
* Make changing-to-spectators get removed from the intermission drawer.
* Fix both cv_timelimit and cv_pointlimit as "hidden options" for people to play with if they know about them via the console.
* Show GAME SPEED on the tab screen.
* Fix Invincibility and Grow's music changes being broken. (I didn't test them properly when making them P_RestoreMusic calls, sorry.)
* Stop showing the First Person Kart view in spectator mode, per Sal's request.
* Have the entire thing slide the fuck away a short while into the intermission.
* The tab screen is modified to work off similar behaviour and presentation.
* To go with it, a revamp of how Battle's scoring is handled.
* It's now considered "hits", and is stored in a reuse in one of the vanilla NiGHTS variables, allowing it to use exactly the same ranking mechanisms as race.
* No more resetting of score between battle rounds.
* Minor, unrelated general code cleanup in places.
* Disable the YEEEAH in splitscreen, otherwise you'll hear it *all the time*.
