* d_main.c - fix the wipedef for skipping to the titlescreen to be the checkered one again.
* k_kart.c - Tweak drawtime's setting slightly.
* y_inter.c - Make endtic ALWAYS set when not netgame/splitscreen, to prevent an undesirable, possible hang whenever we add more stuff later.
What the heck does THAT supposed to mean, I hear you ask? Well...
- Mashing for items' effect on chances is now relative to how fast you pressed it! I'll give a more detailed explanation in #main_kart_dev.
- Instead of coding the Auto Frantic Items setting like I said I would, I did the same effect in a completely different way! Odds will automatically get better depending on how many players below 5 there are.
* Fix both cv_timelimit and cv_pointlimit as "hidden options" for people to play with if they know about them via the console.
* Show GAME SPEED on the tab screen.
* Fix Invincibility and Grow's music changes being broken. (I didn't test them properly when making them P_RestoreMusic calls, sorry.)
* Stop showing the First Person Kart view in spectator mode, per Sal's request.
* 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.
* Record Attack Input display!
* Show Record Attack emblem and emblem time on the HUD! Changes colours with the player, just like vanilla internal's.
* Remove the ugly dark blue box on the singleplayer (including pause screen) whose only purpose in Kart was to contain the Record Attack emblem info!
* Unrelated shit!
* Improve loading Kart HUD graphics.
* Fix mirrored HUD graphics being one screen pixel (not basevid pixel) offset.
- Spring panels have a higher minimum forward speed, and you can no longer drop below that speed.
- New, separate type of spring panel that has a maximum speed cap, for small jumps.
- Unrelated: The SMK Donut Plains bushes now have much less thinker overhead.
- Unrelated: Fixed my earlier attempt at getting momentum redirect to work when you just hit the ground.
- Don't decrease spinout when boosting
- Don't increase banana dragging when in the air or if you're not moving (Not sure about this one, just thought that this would feel better than it always increasing once we add the visual effect)
- Play a sound for banana dragging
- Correct finish line sounds
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
- Smoothed out Ruby & Sepia
- Made Sapphire more distinct from Blue
- Made Navy more distinct from Jet
- MD2 colors weight a few colors even more heavily
- Revised ColorOpposite table
- Fix Wanted not updating on hit
- Very minor item odds adjustment for Battle
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
* Center level selection.
* Re-work Record Attack screen.
* Re-order MP Main menu, hide in NONET.
* Combined yeeeah on vote screen.
* Colour gametype on tab and tally.
* (unrelated) Don't show "CHECK" if exiting.
* 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!
* Lots of menu changes!
* Little arrows next to changeable cvars!
* Show default value for sliders!
* Pretty pretty pretty.
* I don't know how to describe some of these changes.
* Effectively nuke MIDI music support!
* Skiddown at the start of a race is more interesting!
* Spinning in waterslides!
* Tiny bugfix in voting, plus a little celebration...
* Improve control menus significantly - a more layout-neutral, gameplay importance based order, with spacing, and less depth to get to the important stuff.
* Port over the improved MP main menu from internal, including flattening the IP connect onto its level.
* Allow for selecting the number of splitscreen players using a menu option, rather than three seperate menu choices.
* Improve the layout of all of the level/gametype select menus slightly.
* (unrelated) Make fourth player area in 3p splitscreen use the tiling background instead of a pure black area.
* (unrelated) Tweak minimap ordering slightly.
* Fix that rat-ass nasty crash with respawning from spectator mode!
* Flying ghost kart for spectator mode! It's silly and fun...
* Allow for .bat files to be .gitignored in the Debug compilation folder too!
* To go with this, have the HUD fade in as the title goes away.
* After complaints, only do dogear gametype indicators on the voting screen for levels which don't match the prevailing gametype, and use thin font to intrude on the level pic less.
* Make the voting screen background a different graphic in battle.
* Improve behaviour of DrawDiag in GL.
* 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
* PRETTY SURE I fixed that bastardacious issue with multiple shield items disappearing at once. Done via introducing lastlook to store the updated count.
* Fix an issue with incorrect scale setting for shield items.
* Clean up a bunch of weird shit with regards to setting of hnext/hprev chains. (Why does the player go on the opposite end to the direction you enter the chain from...)
* Repair hnext chain on mobjremoval as well. May or may not remove the need for overlay/shadow thinkers; too tired/excited to dig into that atm.
- Peelout sound for sneaker boosts
- Flicky grab sound for stealing balloons
- Adaptive sounds for start boosts (drift boost for sub-optimal boosts, sneaker boost for good boosts, super transform sound for the frame perfect boost)
- Orbinaut rollling sound
Karma items can hand out x10 banana, and being ahead in Battle is way more focused on removing just your defensive options than making all of your options Orbinaut/Banana/Eggman (there'll still be a lot of those, but it doesn't lower the chance of the other items too badly).
- 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.
- More Jawz states for later
- Jawz orbit their user in the right direction now.
- Banana trails made closer to each other
- wheels.lua hardcoded
- All held items take a double press, for consistency.
- Fixed Karma Items not being able to be collected by invincibility or hyudoro users
The overlay object now has a hitbox which handles all of the item giving/bombing code, and no longer takes up the player's tracer. This is to give them a bigger hitbox without any bad side-effects of changing the player's hitbox directly (shadow size). Should make bombing more useful, and just sliiiightly less missed high-fives from items.
- Mines last twice as long
- Mines can appear in 1st with a measly 5% chance, for maximum ass-blasting
- Mine shiiiiink sound no longer plays globally
- Thrown Bananas and Eggman Monitors bounce off walls like Mines
- Hyudoro can steal from anyone
- Halved invincibility alarm/music distance
- Getting out Orbinaut/Jawz plays a shield sound
- Using Shrink plays a devastating Chaotix sound
- SPB plays a high-pitched wail when it's locked in
- Hyudoro plays a ghosty sound when used
- Fixed Battle arrow roulette
The new distance setting on SPB is directly inbetween the previous "way too rare" setting and the "way too frequent" setting before that. Hopefully they should come up in reasonable intervals now.
It now does its job properly: repairing races when there is one straggler far in the back.
- Wipeout instead of spinout, to prevent cheap deaths
- Lose all of your items when you get shrunk.
- You cannot pick up any items while shrunk.
- x2 duration.
- Appears in the very back, with 10% chance.
- Fix merge issues
- Update invincibility flash to use its own object instead of MT_OVERLAY, so extra hacks don't need baked into overlay thinking
- K_SpawnSparkleTrail can accept mobjs now, since there really wasn't any reason it needed a player.
- Comment out a few old MK/vanilla SRB2 effects for now
When using a taunt voice (item usage) there's a 5 second delay on more taunts and a 2 second delay on other voices
When using other voices, there's at least a 2 second delay on all other voices
- 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.
Instead of adding to your speed, it relatively multiplies it if you're above your top speed. This is applied to ALL of Kart projectiles as well, not just shells. May we never run into our own shell that we threw on a boost pad ever again.
- mapgotboxes is synched
- Karma bombs/items flash while spinning out
- Karma bombs have a sound + explosion when hitting someone
- Karma bombs can no longer attempt to attack a player that is flashing and have to WAIT... again
- Fixed MT_GREENITEM's bounce sound, after breaking from last commit (WHY ARE YOU ABUSING MARIO MODE SOUNDS, STOP, AGHH)
Set up similar to NiGHTS Mare linedef executors. Give a sector the "Race
Lap" sector type, tag it, then set the frontside x-offset on the trigger
line to the lap it should activate on minus 1. There are a few flags you
can check on the trigger line to modify its behavior.
- Normally the executor will only trigger if its exactly on the lap
specified. Check Not Climbable to make it execute on laps equal to or
greater than, or check Block Enemies to make it execute on laps equal to
or less than.
- By default, the executor will check current lap with the person in
last's lap. Check E4 to instead find the current lap from the player who
triggered it. This flag is better for triggering events ahead of the
players, while the default effect is better for triggering events behind
the players.
There's no way atm to make you flash on your screen but not on everyone else's, so I think just making you invisible on all of them keeps the original SMK intent of "you have to pay extra close attention to their screen to know where they are at all" better
Removed Magnet item box pulling code. It's a mess, hacky, doesn't really help in races, and breaks things. We will implement something new for it soon.
