Network synchronised(?) nextwaypoint in player struct
Make the waypointheap actually a heap and not allocate memory for every individual waypoint.
No need to store id in the waypoint struct, since it can be gotten from the waypointheap now.
Update player position using distance from finish line.
Minor Bug: At the start of a race for a split second the leading players will be last.
Proposed Fix: Start on lap 0 and Force a lap count update when crossing the finish line
Players afterimages have been colorized & flicker, ala Sonic Advance 2. The number of afterimages you get extends with how many boosts you have stacked.
Item afterimages have also been given a basic colorization.
Now triggers when locked on instead of when out, and has a temporary HUD colorize animation when ring pickup is locked.
also:
- SPB spawns rings more frequently
- There's only a chance for Super Ring while in debt if you mashed at all
- Added Battle fallback items when alone, for the future Break the Capsules
- Ring attraction is now much more preformant. Instead of each ring checking for all players for a shield & then doing a distance check, players with an attraction shield already will do a blockmap check around them for rings.
- Draft leeway period is longer, from 10 tics to 1 second
- During the draft leeway period, your draft sparkles will still be attached to the last player you drafted, but transparent
- Scale drafting speed requirements, distances, and visuals with player scale instead of map scale. While shrunk, this will make it so you need to be closer to draft, but don't need to be moving as fast.
- Thunder Shield now attracts rings
- Colorize the ring counter at max yellow
- Rings in the collecting animation are considered for determining if you can't pick up rings anymore, preventing a LOT of rings being deleted from the map over time.
- Flung rings don't lose speed over time anymore
- Flund rings last way longer
- Using rings is much less touchy (holding the button from before an item roulette will let you continue using them until you let go, using certain items won't make you use a couple rings afterwards)
- 0 rings is now counted as debt when getting hit, making debt easier to get out of (getting hit by a spike now would put you at -2 instead of -5)
- Move Super Ring toward the end of the item (so I don't have to modify gfx.kart to fix dropped items)
Force everyone beyond a certain point to spectate -- spectators get to queue up. In response to me doing a 1v1 match, tons of people wanting to join to watch, and just relying on honor system to prevent mid-joiners. Spectators are prioritized by how long they've been waiting. I'm thinking of hijacking base SRB2's team scramble for a scramble option later.
This broke MKSC in a minor way if you skip a specific item set and then take the big cut... I'll let it go anyway since its an improvement everywhere else.
- Colorize items, Combi-Catcher style, while the roulette is still going. Nice Chaotix reference, and tells you when the game's just lagged.
- Items blink when you first get them! They blink white when you wait out the whole roulette, red when you mash, or rainbow for enhanced items! Blinking prevents items from being stolen too, so items can't be literally stolen before you even have a chance to see what it was.
- New item roulette sound for mashing
- Fix TC_ limits in Lua
