- Frontside x offset = boss ID (determined via parameter for all bosses)
- Noclimb flag = disable mode
- Bosses don't do a fuckin' THING - no state updates, no player searches, no sounds, no lua, no nothin' - and it's all totally netsynced.
- The only thing they WILL do is flash infinitely if you hurt them, but this is designed for stuff where you're not meant to be in the same room as the boss til it's activated.
- All bosses of all IDs are automatically enabled on mapload, then if an enable mode version of this linedef is present in the map for a specific boss id, that boss id is automatically disabled.
* Add multi-boss support via parameter for:
- All bosses' MT_BOSSFLYPOINT search
- Boss 5's waypoint search
- Oldbrak's waypoint search (this one's for you, jood)
* If a spring has vertical speed AND horizontal speed, always set the player's angle when touching it.
* If you have less than 32 rings and spill them, they now get launched away from the player's motion, rather than in the direction of the camera.
* Fixed an unused variable warning in lua_skinlib.c.
- fixed post-level cutscenes playing when you get game over in MP (still kinda on-topic)
Also with apologies to MI:
- golden egg statue mode for tutorial, since the grey doesn't contrast enough with the blue and lime green
- fixed closed captions for replaced player sounds being incorrect
- fixed closed captions overlapping tutorial text
* Re-enable the perplayer stuff in V_DrawFadeFill - not worth having it disabled when it'll just have to be re-enabled later.
* Remove some "consistency with software" stuff in hw_draw.c that already has equivalents
* Fix not-guaranteed-to-be-set-to-zero-ness of sparklloop
* Add blackrock sparkles to good ending.
* Don't have emerald sparkles be randomised.
* Adjust credits to include Sal (credits sprites + four merged internal MRs and a bunch of public ones) and a few other known contributors, plus remove oni's name (he requested i do it a whiiile ago)
* Made the black rock animate backwards through its anim again, to match the 2.1 and earlier intro.
* Rid branch of mixed code declaration warnings.
* Other cleanup.
Also:
* SPR2_XTRA - instead of defining lumpnames in S_SKIN, those kinds of assets can just be bundled into the spriteset. Required for ending cutscene stuff, I guess, but also done for HUD life icon and character select image (aside from Sonic&Tails, still SOC'd in).
* Minor oversights in SPR2 support corrected.
* Better evaluation, featuring ending assets.
* Intro has warping-in blackrock, reusing ending assets.
* Cutscene text now supports lowercase (intro and custom).
* Disable the asset-fucking "gamma correction" I put in over two years ago when implementing colour cube. (This is the only thing I could move into another branch if you MUST, but it's basically invisble in the diff so w/e.)
* Don't blank the screen if the top left pixel of a screen-covering patch is transparent. (Checked via nonzero topdelta for first column)
Bugs:
* OPENGL ONLY: The first ~20 frames of both endings are fucked. A little help here? Might be HWR_DrawFadeFill's fault, which I just created. OR it could be in f_finale, but I doubt it, since it doesn't appear in Software.
Someone thought it was a good fucking idea to make logins NetXCmds. NetXCmds
are sent to everyone however. Thankfully logins are two passes. And the second
pass uses a salt based on the playernum. Therefore, in order to actually make
use of the final hash, you'd have to be the same playernum as who originally
sent it. Still a stupid exploit.
P.S. The netcode is LOL XD by VincyTM -Telos
(I'm doing this because MIT_GetMenuAtLevel appears to actually care about whether menutype is zero or not unlike the others; I don't want to break the code designed around that)
* add gamestate != GS_TIMEATTACK checks to prevent Record Attack or NiGHTS Mode losing their backgrounds
* increase bgname to 9 to include the extra NULL byte? (is this a good idea actually)
* make M_IterateMenuTree ignore menu levels without a menutype value
If you wanted the game to reset the item selected to the top option like before though, I left a line commented out that would do that for you. Unlike the old item = 0 way, it would automatically be corrected for headers and other spaces (thus kind of future-proofing this code)
Sea Egg is majorly changed according to Mystic's ancient instructions (excepting the flying FOF rock, I cared not for fucking around with FOFs).
Specifically:
* Faster paced fight.
* Instantly travels horizontal distance.
* Fakes no longer hurt papa, and spin out like a deflating balloon when he dies.
* New attack: When surfacing, produces an electric shockwave. Replaces underwater shock. Designed for new, shallow arena.
* Support for multiple bosses in the same map distinguished by parameter.
Will upload map to fight the new battle in on the MR.
* Add more context clues to his fight, including an indicator for which laser attack is being used after chargeup.
* Make missiles able to vectorise him.
* Add another laser orb attack - vertical slice - and change the laser orb sequence to accurately reflect that horizontal is the hardest of the ones in 2.1.
* Optimise TC_BLINK, and fix an issue with TC_ALLWHITE that somehow avoided coming up in testing.
* Fix colorized bosses losing their colorization when flashing, by forcing TC_ALLWHITE.
* Remove PF_THOKKED every time a successful damage bounce occours.
* When this happens, spawn a number of particles based on thokitem at half scale! (Optimised, again, for MT_LHRT.)
* Also spawn these particles when a successful spring boost occours, as well as playing a twisted spring sound.
Also, some other related tweaks:
* Optimisations to A_VultureBlast, which was used as a base for the particle creation.
* Make the Metal Sonic boss use P_PlayerCanDamage instead of a custom, somewhat broken player damage detection mechanism.
* P_SpawnGhostMobj takes colorized into account.
* Fold Tails propeller damage into P_PlayerCanDamage.
* When performing an Attraction Blast, place the player in roll frames.
* Update all conditions preventing SH_PINK to incorporate thokitem and spinitem as well.
* Buff MT_LHRT travel distance at slow speeds.
* Re-fix chat HUD position, and make it not move in match (which it needed to do in 2.1).
* Fix HU_drawPing for the new palette.
* Change the condition for greying out players, since the current one was buggy.
* Allow for tokens on the coop MP HUD, and use the small emeralds so there's space for them.
* Fix the mapping between skincolours and name colours in new chat, specifically to take into account every possible text colour (as opposed to the port previously done, which only used the 2.1 text colours and looked like ass as a result).
* Move HUD text's anchoring to underneath STR instead of above Lives.
* Adjust chat position slightly, to take advantage of SRB2's HUD layout having less content towards the bottom (unlike Kart, where it has roughly equal).
* Fix Match emeralds not displaying while in tab rankings with all-seven invuln/shoes bonus active.
* Like Kart, remove cv_precipdensity.
* Like Kart, replace "Infinite" draw distance value with "None".
* Better thinker with more return optimisation.
* Better placement of thinking in rendering, to avoid ceiling-mounted sprite glitches.
* Re-fix chat HUD position, and make it not move in match (which it needed to do in 2.1).
* Fix HU_drawPing for the new palette.
* Change the condition for greying out players, since the current one was buggy.
* Allow for tokens on the coop MP HUD, and use the small emeralds so there's space for them.
* Fix the mapping between skincolours and name colours in new chat, specifically to take into account every possible text colour (as opposed to the port previously done, which only used the 2.1 text colours and looked like ass as a result).
* Smoothen Pity Shield animation to go with sphere's updates to Nev3r's sprites.
* Added LHRT object, designed to be summoned with CA2_MELEE.
* Gives a pink Pity Shield (SH_PINK) on same-team player contact.
* Deals damage to non-player enemies.
* Harmlessly fades into nothing when touching an enemy player, players with SH_PINK already, and players capable of applying SH_PINK to others (through non-Lua methods).
* Basically, you-know-who is the Healer of the party whenever they're around. Fun consequences for the Co-op and CTF metas.
Also, the start of my improvements to CA2_MELEE. Users of that abiliy can only damage enemies/monitors if they touch the front of the player object, but to make up for it, the player is no longer forced away from the direction of the screen at bigger movement speeds.
* Takes function(player, mo) input.
* Return TRUE for stating that yes, the player is in a state that can cause contact damage, do with that what you will.
* Return FALSE for stating that no, the player is weak and vulnerable and cannot cause contact damage, do with that what you will.
* Return NIL for allowing the function to continue regular operation.
Fills a different ideological niche than ShouldDamage - that's for determining whether damage dished between two objects should happen, this is for determining which way around damage should be dished when considering a player-object interaction.
Or, in other words, think of it as "ShouldDamage is whether damage that has been requested should be granted, for object-object interaction, while PlayerCanDamage is for whether global player properties should cause damage to enemies and monitors in the first place, like spinning, hammering or stomping."
* Move HUD text's anchoring to underneath STR instead of above Lives.
* Adjust chat position slightly, to take advantage of SRB2's HUD layout having less content towards the bottom (unlike Kart, where it has roughly equal).
* Fix Match emeralds not displaying while in tab rankings with all-seven invuln/shoes bonus active.
* Port across the additional colour translation maps, including mobj-level support for "colorized" objects.
* Make Fangboss and both Metal Sonic objects greyscale if, on spawn, there is a player in the game who is not a spectator whose skin is that character.
* Allow bosses with MF_GRENADEBOUNCE to opt out of the MF2_FRET colour-flashing tomfoolery, and give this flag to Fang.
