* Instead of doing constant G_MapNumbers when finding the relationship between maps and cups...
* Add a cache of level IDs to cups, to go with the strings.
* Add a cache of the cup pointer to maps, so we don't have to search through all cups to find our map. (done in P_InitMapData)
* Pre-emptive work: G_IsSpecialStage and P_GetNextEmerald now reference cup data instead of a hardcoded ID set.
* Remove a bunch of old stuff from mapheaderinfo_t/associated, and reorder what stays
* Countdowntimer? 💥
* Startrings? 💥
* sstimer/ssspheres? 💥
* forcecharacter? 💥 (distinct from forceskin)
* interscreen? 💥
* sstage_start/end and smpstage_start/end? 💥💥💥💥
* You've been blocked
* G_MapNumber now returns a special NEXTMAP_INVALID if not found, for more consistent reference.
* Incorporate a good chunk of the `edit-headers` branch. Can't clear maps individually because of the new restrictions on sequential mapheaders, but we can add a "disable in vote screen, not even for map hell/archive" flag to a map at some future juncture for equivalent functionality...
- mapvisited and recorddata_t (previously mainrecords)
- Changed how gamedata is saved and loaded
- Change the versioncheck (funny hex provided by chengi) AND call it `developringdata.dat` in develop builds
- Fix a bunch of off-by-ones in condition and emblem data
ALSO, for Time Attack:
- Fix menu not showing off your times
- Now save times even when gamedata modified, since the menu didn't care (come back to it?)
- Don't save times or do intermission screen if the Capsule Attack ended because you lost all your bumpers
- Fix a crash adding ghosts in Capsule Attack
- Refactor significantly (now has its own func, `G_GetNextMap`)
- If gametype uses cups, iterate through cups to find the current level, then grab the next valid level
- If not, get the next valid mapheader for your gametype
- SOC `nextmap`/`marathonnext` is not just deprecated but REMOVED
- Hide the NEXTMAP_ constants again, but leave support dummied out for if we have them publically accessible again
- Also get rid of a bunch of OTHER mapheader stuff we're never gonna use
- NiGHTS Grades? NOPE
- Vanilla titlecard patches? NOPE
- Boss music fadeout/replacement? NOPE
- Select Heading? NOPE
- You've been blocked.
- Don't show maps without lumps on the level select list
- this is me being petty, but making it NOTIMEATTACK in SOC instead of TIMEATTACK so we can reconsider the maps with/without them.
- G_MapNumber now handles special NEXTMAP_ nextmapspecial_t constants that exist at the end of the available type.
- Cleanup of G_DoCompleted
- Add bounds checking to the various SOC maincfg map starts (spstage_start, etc)
- Add lump checking to titlemap behaviour
- Now a struct with zone-allocated buffer member
- Instead of bunging it on the end of the buffer, the time for G_SometimesGetDifferentGametype is its own struct member
Also:
- improved error prints for SOC condition definitions
- improved bounds checking to use `nummapheaders` for iterating over mapheaderinfo
There are still situations that use NUMMAPS like mapvisited, randmapbuffer, etc, which need to be addressed before merger.
* Required an adjustment of everywhere using G_MapNumber to return the raw header number, instead of off-by-one ala gamemap.
* Fixing gamemap is a viable improvement for a future commit, but this commit is already pretty big.
* Remove SCANTHINGS, since it used G_MapNumber and didn't work with long map names OR virtres anyways.
* Support freeing new information in CLEAR LEVELS maincfg event, since I tried to use that to test cups.
* Make Patch_Free's usability match Z_Free -- passing NULL is permitted and a no-op.
- Grab thumbnail and minimap pictures even for base game maps
- Repair modified game event for replacement map load
- PU_STATIC thumbnail and minimap, freed on new file load lump discovery
- Fix W_CheckNumForMap to not SIGSEGV if no match
- Reduce the number of pointless map lump hunts, we've already got it stored
- Prevent use-after-free for map pictures on voting screen
- Cache "BLANKLVL" patch once
- Draw minimap on the time attack menu
Unfortunately cups are still broken and I'm not sure where to start on that, or if it's just not having a sample wad to test with that includes cups
There's no actual good way to handle the case of changing your skin, etc, maybe even various controls for a momentary test AND supporting profiles, so don't even try. Instead, let the game "pretend" you selected ttlprofilen to let it just about work.
This works because all the relevant cvars and controls still get saved to the config when changed... they just get written over when you select a profile. So if you haven't changed anything since your last successful launch, it is now functionally indistinguishable.
Catches a case that's never been relevant before -- now that you can open the console on the menu, map commands have newfound dangers to be worked around.
- Previous implementation used fopen, fwrite, fread, etc.
- Instead, use the byteptr.h macros to/from a buffer, performing IO all at once before/after.
- This way, if we do something unrecoverable mid-write, we won't corrupt the user's profile.
- Also cross-endian compatible AND now capable of supporting changes in the struct.
- Sadly not back-compatible. This should be the last time we destroy the team's existing profiles...
Also, modify a typo in a gamedata error this system used as reference.
Overwriting the global power level all the time and not updating any code to use the profile was extremely yikes. This also allows for splitscreen players with power levels.
- `automate_set <event name> <command>` to set a command to run each time an event triggers.
- Currently implemented events are "roundstart", "intermissionstart", and "votestart", all of the ones from HOSTMOD.
- Turn `automate` off to disable this feature entirely. Because of the new safer way this is implemented (in HOSTMOD, this just calls some console aliases), this is turned on by default instead of off.
- This is set up in a way to facilitate adding more automation events very easily, if desired.
- shout command to create a server message, with its own special sound cue & color
- shoutname to control the nametag, by default this is "SERVER"
- shoutcolor controls the color of the message. By default it's red, but there's also a option for player colored.
- autoshout makes any message sent by a admin/server automatically turn into a shout
- Unlike HOSTMOD shout, integrated it with the dedicated server say behavior -- using say on dedicated server is always a shout.
Allows for custom weather types.
In SOC:
```Freeslot
PRECIP_GROOVY
Weather PRECIP_GROOVY
Type = MT_PARTICLE
Effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING```
In Lua:
```freeslot("PRECIP_GROOVY")
precipprops[PRECIP_GROOVY] = {
type = MT_PARTICLE,
effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING
}```
Then in level header, simply set `Weather = PRECIP_GROOVY`.
Other properties are part of the object itself:
- Falling speed is set as the object's speed
- Sound ID is set via the object's SeeSound
- Sound frequency is set by the object's Mass.
