- You can bump other people during spinout.
- Bumping during spinout activates a "slow down" timer, which increases your friction after a few tics.
- You have a Smash-style dust effect after a spinout bump, indicating clearly if you'll slow down or not.
* Have the entire thing slide the fuck away a short while into the intermission.
* The tab screen is modified to work off similar behaviour and presentation.
* To go with it, a revamp of how Battle's scoring is handled.
* It's now considered "hits", and is stored in a reuse in one of the vanilla NiGHTS variables, allowing it to use exactly the same ranking mechanisms as race.
* No more resetting of score between battle rounds.
* Minor, unrelated general code cleanup in places.
* Disable the YEEEAH in splitscreen, otherwise you'll hear it *all the time*.
* Time overs now supported, see below.
* Ties now supported!
* Code cleaned up.
* Play more sonicy tally sounds when counting your points.
* A bunch of time over related stuff!
* Exitlevel time overs everyone, which means no points for you.
* F-Zero-sorta-maybe style death if you're the last person on the course (and not the ONLY one) when someone crosses the finish line! (Or switches to spectator.)
* A bunch of music related stuff!
* Functionally reverted many of my changes to splitscreen and ending music, although the major changes to simplify music code are still kept.
* P_EndingMusic is genericised across gametypes, and only switches a single letter (and looping-ness) now!
* Fix exitlevel in race causing whatever you're listening to to keep playing.
* Make powerups call P_RestoreMusic.
* Put a call to P_EndingMusic into P_RestoreMusic.
* Unrelated crap.
* Make all palette swaps happen at the black point of fades, so they don't stick around awkwardly.
* Huh, I thought I did more than that. Oh well!
* Deaths in record attack no longer put you into a glitchy singleplayer game-over state that we somehow both kept around and also broke since we branched Kart off of Vanilla..
* Fix non-standard mapscales making the Death Egg respawn octagons dissasemble themselves.
* Allow for MULTIPLE TIME EMBLEMS PER MAP, at least in the emblem UI on the timer. It shows all completed emblems plus the uncompleted emblem up to a total of three.
* Major tweaks to the First Person HUD.
* I know this was your baby, Sal, and some of the changes may prove controversial - so I've put the ones that are likely to cause the most fuss inside an ifndef block, so that you can toggle it as you please with minimal code changes.
* Dontdraw-ness, transparency, and colorization match the player's object!
* Moves around on the screen with respect to the direction of the player object's motion, to make drifting look nicer!
* Flashes the colour of your drift sparks.
* Did a WHOLE bunch of things with respect to music. I'm not sure how to describe this, so I'll go through step-by-step.
* Countdowns now play the drowning music again.
* Removed/disabled extraenous P_RestoreMusics.
* Made map-ending music called by its own function, P_EndingMusic(player_t *player).
* Made the ending music play on the LAST player crossing the finishing line in splitscreen, rather than first.
* Make dead players spinout and clip through the floor, at least until we add the new death anims.
* Fix prior pogo spring usage making dead players fall faster.
* Make the time over countdown use the kart font when not splitscreen with 3 or 4 players.
* Removed a weird bonus HWR_DrawCroppedPatch function signature in the hardware header.
Updated my compile setup to GCC 6.3, makes it as far as m_misc.c now with ERRORMODE and DEBUGMODE, stops at some gettext related stuff I don't know how to fix now
* Fixed the issue where your runs would be saved as belonging to the wrong character.
* Make the Ghost menu always visible. This isn't PERFECT, but it's better than hiding the option to toggle ghosts just because you're doing your first run as a new character.
* Fix the number of laps carrying over from MP(!!!!!!!!! plugged a huge security hole for the authenticity of replays...)
Other stuff!
* Hide map hell maps in the statistics.
* Clean up some nonet stuff in the menu.
* Put player setup last again, and tweaked its wording.
* Disable the special Kart waiting for players behaviour when not playing a netgame - seeing a double gamestate transition in record attack is weird.
* Do the gametype change stuff on the voting screen.
* Make all the picking sound and setting stuff one function, rather than in two seperate places that need to be kept identical.
* Have the timer at the bottom be the highlight colour.
* Map hell! LF2_HIDEINMENU is craftily reused...
* Less allocation and deallocation for the adjacent G_RandMaps.
Other stuff...
* Fix command_map_f not resetting players' score in battle.
* Shiny titlescreen!
* Fix a random bonus newline in one of the quit messages.
More menu/highlight things:
* Rename "Default" to "Game type", to make clearer what it's doing.
* Tweak race colouring slightly.
* Put a highlight around the level select icon, and make it consistent with voting.
* Allow setting the highlight colour to affect the intermissions.
* Fix bug with gametype colour getting for record attack.
A handful of skincolour things:
* Rename Turqouise to Aqua, because it resembles one of my fav 2.2 colours with that name.
* Fix incomplete Steel Blue -> Steel rename.
* Merge the very similar Blueberry and Sapphire...
* ... so Sapphire can be backported!
* And Ruby too.
- The majority of all colors have been tweaked in some capacity to have higher contrast, to either make character highlights or lineart pop out more
- Two new "on trial" colors that may or may not stay: Tangerine, and Dusk. Tangerine is a yellow-orange color to fill the void of yellows. Dusk is a previously removed color that looked freakin' sweet after some cleanup, why wasn't this kept?!
- Turquoise & Frost have been merged. My clean up of Frost ended up looking like a combination of the two.
- Caramel has been removed, Shiny Caramel takes its place.
- Unleashed my inner dream as wanting to have the job of whoever gets to name crayons, and changed all two-word names.
- Todo: reorganize by hue then lum for a nicer invincibility effect, redo and throughly test ColorOpposite table, double check to make sure there aren't any duplicate blendcolors for OGL
* Bar of levels.
* Colourisation!
* New V_SKYMAP, which hasn't been put in dehacked lists but is otherwise valid!
* New single page statistics screen!
* V_DrawFixedPatch now works at the edge of the screen!
Ghost fixes!
* On minimaps!
* Free memory after use!
* Don't spawn in midair on slopes!
* Defer the change until you're actually modifying the map, in service of the following.
* Reset score.
* Call that gametype change function.
* Collary of the above: Don't reset score if you're `map mapxx`ing in the console, unless it's `force`'d.
* Fix the basic, obvious issues that'd prevent us shipping with the new level title system.
* Correct the non-green resolution support, which was ALMOST there but which I accidentially fucked up one of the signs on.
* Adjust the subttl position if it'd get overwritten.
* Draw the gametype with the subttl.
* Adjust the gametype constants for easier gametype_cons_t array access.
* Super important to allow dedicated servers to continue forever without needing to add Terminal.
* To facilitate understanding, add gametype dog-ears to the vote screen!
* To do the above, add V_DrawDiag! Works in GL, too!!
* Unrelated shit!
* Fix a buffer overrun in the randmapbuffer!
* Disable spectating in splitscreen... Not 100% sure, but in 2p battle, if you spectate, you just lose one balloon and respawn...
* Improve all the string drawing functions' behaviour - both with being SLIGHTLY clipped by the edge of the screen, and when confronted with drawing off the base 320*200 internal area
- SPB multiplier depending on 1st-2nd distance
- Removed the Battle-only k_poweritemtimer (hold over from when you could easily get invuln items all of the time), replaced it with a 2 invincibility item cap in ALL modes.
- Spinout is affected by boosters, *properly*
- Can no longer strafe while spinning out on speed bumps
- Messed with how other items interact with speed bumps, again.
- Old bounce code has been ported for non-players
- Fixed Karma players being able to do anything after the round has ended.
- Fixed sneaker and spinout timer weirdness
- Fixed Mines still being hold-use
- Fixed rubber-burn turn not working
- Removed redundant k_spinout and unused k_boosting variables
- Filled out the Color_Opposite table with Kart's new colors. Not really relevant right now (besides some extra Lua functionality) since nothing uses it, but will be nice for if we do the signpost from the sky idea.
- 30 sec cooldown on all lightning types
- Delay before Blue Lightning hits, based off of distance
- Blue Lightning can swap targets if 1st place is passed
- Blue Lightning can only be handed out if 2nd is far away enough from first
- cmd->driftturn exists now, for figuring out how far you're turning. Added to prevent analog sticks from being able to get drift sparks faster.
- Feather bounce strafing moved to use cmd->sidemove, which means it also supports analog now.
- Braking now waits a few tics for you to be stopped for a few tics before it lets you go in reverse, as per Sev's request.
- Removed a lot of unused/redundant/commented out control code, and reorganized some of the existing code.
Should make it a lot easier to add more gametypes later.
Also some minor fixes:
- Changed up how shell speed scales in mobjscale juuuust slightly, so
it's less messy
- Fixed CHECK showing spectators
BUT with more tweaks on top of that:
- matchesplayed can go up & unlock stuff regardless of modifiedgame
- votetime added to menu
- flame jets are fullbright (been meaning to do this for a while)
- screenshots are prefixed with kart instead of srb2 (ditto)
What's revealed is that democracy is actually made *entirely* out of
extremely minor 1 character long typos eating away at the structural
integrity of the building, and then the crack starts oozing green slime,
and then a creepy hand comes out and grabs you
No more weapon number buttons, button constants reordered, and BT_JUMP
renamed to BT_DRIFT, and removed a lot of commented out stuff or stuff
we didn't need. Spectator-only support for looking up/down soon.
Keyboard defaults are just what I use, plan on adjusting it further
after more feedback
- Look backward button works
- Increased default cam_speed, from 0.3 to 0.45. This is the highest
value that I think doesn't look overly stiff.
- Removed bobbing in first person
I was trying to do the camera angle thing that we've been talking about
for a while, but I can't get it to work well.
- Record Attack replays now save best lap time
- Removed instances of NiGHTS Attack
- Removed a lot of unlockable that have no use in Kart (ultimate mode,
perfect bonus, score emblems, etc)
- Removed all methods of activating ultimate mode
- Menus now have all of the Kart cvars
- Removed any cvars that aren't useful for Kart from the menu (they
still exist in the console, though)
- Removed SP and NiGHTS Mode options from the main menu
- "kartcc" is renamed "kartspeed", uses values 0-2 instead of multiples
of 50, or the terms "Relaxed", "Standard", and "Turbo"
- Many gametype options (game speed, frantic, mirror, & karma comeback)
are now changed on map load instead of instantly
- New cvar, "kartminimap", for disabling the minimap
- The maxplayers cvar now actually matches up with our 16 player limit
- Game now keeps track of matches played. Has a condition type
associated with it, as well.
- Game checks for unlocks and saves gamedata when finishing a match,
even in MP
- Removed most of the normal emblems, added a single emblem for Green
Hills. Didn't know what to do with extra emblems and such so I just left
them (FOR NOW c:<)
