For a cvar cheat to save in replays do this:
- Make sure it's a netvar
- Only netvars are saved in replays
- Use OnlineCheat
- Make sure it's not CV_HIDDEN
- CV_HIDDEN cvars are not added to the linked list, so
replays cannot find them
- Use CV_NOSHOWHELP instead, to prevent people from
modifying it in console
- Use CV_Set or CV_SetValue to change a cvar's value
- Setting cvar_t.value directly will not change its
string value
- The string value is used to determine how it should be
saved in replays
- Freeze finish line distance (instead of recalculating it
from old nextwaypoint)
- Reset auto respawn timer right before it runs out
(instead of AS SOON as finish line distance returns to
normal)
- Do not ever update respawn waypoint while auto respawn
timer is ticking
- Do not interact with finish line while auto respawn
timer is ticking
- Do not increment lap during lightsnake
- Symmetrical with decrement behavior
- Let lap be restored to higher safelap
- Prevent headaches if lap is erroneously decremented
- Previous order:
- K_HandleLapIncrement
- K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- !! Relies on player->exiting
- Set lap points
- !! Based on player->position
- Set latestlap
- P_DoPlayerExit
- Set player->exiting
- K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- Relies on player->exiting
- Overwrites latestlap if not set
- K_InitPlayerTally
- Based on lap points
- New order:
- K_HandleLapIncrement
- Set latestlap
- If ending last lap, P_DoPlayerExit
- Set player->exiting
- K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- Relies on player->exiting
- Overwrites latestlap if not set
- [NO LONGER INITS TALLY]
- OTHERWISE, K_UpdateAllPlayerPositions
- Sets player->position
- Relies on player->exiting
- Set lap points
- Based on player->position
- P_PlayerAfterThink
- If player is exiting and no tally, K_InitPlayerTally
Hopefully you can see the magnitude of the gordian knot I had to untangle to fix this
- Polyobject carrying set lastlook on mobjs for internal
tracking
- lastlook is used by some objects to track their own
state
- Ring Shooter uses lastlook to remember which player
summoned it
- A Ring Shooter spawned right next to a polyobject would
become buggy; If its owner player pressed the respawn
button again before the Ring Shooter despawned, that
player would be teleported back to the Ring Shooter
instead of spawning a new Ring Shooter (which would be
the correct behavior)
