- The skin values are now locked between 1 and 9.
- kartspeed & kartweight are no longer locked on skin-switch. Combined with the above, this results in no gameplay change, other than the character select showing the proper value.
- Values used for the engine sounds are locked. No longer can overflow into character voices or freeslotted sounds.
- Removed the overzealous weight locking when in offroad.
If we want to ACTUALLY lock speed/weight for Lua too then we should do that in the Lua stuff.
* Do that thing where the character icons are ALWAYS 1x sized, through having two seperate lumps.
* Revamp the S_SKIN parameters to be `facerank` (rankings - equivalent of half-scale old face), `facewant` (WANTED - equivalent of old face), and `facemmap` (equivalent of old iconprefix).
* Do that thing Oni wanted where it shows two postions above and two positions below your current ranking (and you) to the left of the screen, instead of always the top 4, with some limits to avoid drawing outside of everything.
* Replace the last few shitty Mario numbers (for the left rankings) with cool, new Oni numbers.
* Change a bunch of offsets and things so the tab rankings and the intermission work nicer with 9+ players.
* Fixed the conditionals for `suicide` and `retry` commands - `suicide` is now allowed in singleplayer, and `retry` no longer checks your lives (for now).
* Disable the "traditional" level reload method (which `retry` tried to use), since it was completely broken with the other changes we've made. Mapchanges only.
* Made retries cause a mapchange, per the above.
* Disable the last source of skincolor trampling in the game - loading a level while not netgame or record attacking.
* Multiplied rain speed by 3, per Oni's request.
* Disable weather density - force to 1 if weather draw distance, otherwise zero
* Move the ceilingpic check into a more convenient part of the weather spawning loop.
* `drawdist_precip_cons_t` - replaces "Infinite" with "None".
* Disable the lowest normal draw distance (256), given... both kart and srb2 are basically unplayable like that.
* Disable cv_drawdist_nights entirely.
* Fix that thing where ALL transparent FOF planes were continuously fullbright unless encased in a fog which disables sprite fullbrightness, which was long-hated by many people in the community!
* For backwards compatibility, setting flag 1 in that fog field (which is probably the most common "in-the-wild" usage of this feature) will continue to make objects un-fullbright.
* For situations where you desperately want the behaviour to be enabled, you can apply fog flag 2.
* Change the fadestart and fadeend range in which colormaps are generated.
* The problem HERE was that the darkest light level reached by generated colormaps was actually slightly brighter than the darkest level reached by normal colormaps.
* The typo I fixed does have SOME basis in fact - standard colormap lumps are 34 (33 in 0-indexing) long rather than 32 (31), but whoever wrote this didn't realise that the code for generating them didn't do it DooM style, just bright-to-dark with no extras on the end...
* Objects!
* Gone is the arcane, difficult-to-remember list of random flags. Say hello to MF_DONTENCOREMAP!
* Alternatively, if the object has a skincolour applied to it, it isn't encoremapped either. (Useful for ghosts, for example.)
* Sectors!
* The autodetecting of sneaker and spring panels is now much more intelligent, and only avoids remapping the plane(s) the effect is availible upon.
* Sector special group 2 no. 15 is now "Invert Encore Remap". It inverts the above detection.
* Linedefs!
* The "Transfer Line" linedef flag can now also be used to deny Encore remappings on linedef textures.
* Right now it applies to every pixel drawn specifically belonging to that linedef, but if people decide it needs changing, we CAN make it apply to midtextures only (like linedef types 900-910).
* Palette remaps.
* Branding.
TODO:
* Doesn't work in GL. (Mostly.) I have SOME ideas on how to tackle this, but...
* Transmaps are broken in Encore for some reason.
* I tried to make in-level colormaps shimmy over, but it didn't quite work, so I commented it out and only semi-fixed it.
* Remove FUNCMATH from all void-returning functions, given GCC80 specifically complains about this case.
* Extend the length of all extant buffers to the safety threshold recommended by the compiler.
* Add void casts to WS_getaddrinfo's setting to prevent complaints about incompatible typecasts.
* Extend the charsel, face, and superface buffer sizes and writes to include the null terminator. (I didn't really want to do this because it's not even particularily NEEDED, but there was literally zero way to get around the request that I could find with multiple online searches. I tried.)
--------
Driftboost formula changed to:
49 + player->kartspeed*2;
(No longer factors weight from previous version)
Collision code now factors character weight for players.
Collision code now only plays the collision sound once, rather than per player.
Weight now factors into drifting's base value. A heavier character will drift more straight with no input and have less control.
Added a cheat check in SetPlayerSkinByNum(), to force speed and weight within the boundaries of 1 and 9.
Nerfed orange turbo to 50 frames, down from 60.
(various large invisible blocks used in the level cause rain to make splashes high above the main level, high enough to make ghostly rain splash sprite artifacts appear sometimes in nearby areas)
I'm convinced there's going to be some stupid side effects from doing this, but it's the quickest way I can fix the polyobj planes not all appearing anyway
