- Add music to Perfect evaluation
- Thank you darling Tyron 😭
- Different evaluation durations
- 18 seconds for Perfect evaluation
- Extended because the music is too good
- 14 seconds for all other evaluation types
- Extended so it's not almost half the length of the perfect one
- Timed so the Seal can glow 5 times (instead of 3)
Replaces the previously uncommited recompilation-based hacks the author of this commit was using to test the previous ones on this branch
- 1 is Nothing
- 2 is Chaos Emerald
- 3 is Super Emerald
- 4 is Perfect
- 5, 6, 7, etc currently repeat
- Four evaluation modes.
- Perfect
- Currently no visual implementation
- All others have a cool set of visuals
- Multi-stage animation of a glowing threat and a Star that's Sealed
- If they're relevant, show the gems you HAVEN'T grabbed
- Three modes here
- No gems
- For Easy mode, asks you to brave a higher difficulty
- Chaos Emeralds
- Not all 7 chaos emeralds? Push your rank harder!
- Super Emeralds
- Not all 7 super emeralds? Further challenge awaits!
- `useBlackRock` to make evaluation context less specific for custom material is replaced with `useSeal` option
- M_CheckCupEmeralds(difficulty)
- Returns the Emeralds you have for that difficulty
- Obviously returns 0 for Easy
- Makes the method of checking collected Emeralds for cup contexts significantly easier
Hilariously broken due to the evaulation gamestate, but the first piece of the puzzle: gets the player into the Credits gamestate after the conclusion of a Podium, if the GP context's cup has this boolean set.
We're unlikely to utilise this, but permits creators of custom user-created cups to flex their own style without fighting to replace the default Podium.
- gametype has GTR_POWERSTONES and any one player has all 7 emeralds
- gametyperules & GTR_SPECIALSTART and any one player isn't losing
- GP after completing a GPEVENT_SPECIAL and any one player isn't losing
- Catches custom gametypes in place of Sealed Star at the end of a GP
- Now actually from the relevant GP difficulty's Cupgrid, instead of the top-level Play choice
- Permits a much cleaner M_StartCup, combining two of the previously four copypasted, slightly modified level startup regions (which could be further combined for sanity's sake, but would take a LITTLE more work right now than I have in me)
- Shows a funny exclamation mark from Sonic Rush on the relevant cup on the grid
- Selected by default when loading the menu, if appropriate
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
