- The following colors were given either more noticeable highlights or deeper shading for better colorized WANTED poster appearance: Nickel, Black, Beige, Brown, Leather, Salmon, Red, Crimson, Pumpkin, Rosewood, Burgundy, Pinetree, Swamp, Periwinkle, Blue, Blueberry, Dusk, Purple, Lavender, and Byzantium.
- Fixed an off-looking purple tone on Ruby.
- Salmon's outline & shading was made darker, to make it slightly easier on the eyes.
- Peach recieved a complete overhaul, featuring high contrast and yellow highlights.
- Add kartdebugcolorize for taking a quick glance at all of the colorizations
Force everyone beyond a certain point to spectate -- spectators get to queue up. In response to me doing a 1v1 match, tons of people wanting to join to watch, and just relying on honor system to prevent mid-joiners. Spectators are prioritized by how long they've been waiting. I'm thinking of hijacking base SRB2's team scramble for a scramble option later.
- Update chars.kart hash, AGAIN!
- Fix spectators being visible on minimap when F12ing people
- Optimize how splitscreen players are drawn on top of the minimap
- Remove duplicated cvar registrations
- Move cv_resynchattempts and cv_netticbuffer from D_ClientServerInit to D_RegisterServerCommands and D_RegisterClientCommands respectively, so they can save to config properly
- Increase "Frequent" gametype switch frequency even more
- "SRB2" version dehacked warning ignores srb2.srb
(Huge change: NO_MIDI is now a define, simply because that makes it easier for me to resolve merge conflicts if I can see the original code and the new code. Also means that people who REALLY miss MIDI can compile & fix it themselves :P)
* Rename "suicide" command to "respawn" so the game doesn't tell you to kill yourself when you try to get help for it.
* Add a "manual" command to open the manual.
* Add `kartvoterulechanges`, or "Voting Rule Changes" on the menu, to allow some user control over event frequency.
* "Never" - does what it says on the tin.
* "Sometimes" - 1/8 chance of Encore if host has unlocked it, only gametype change when buffer is full
* "Frequent" - 1/2 chance of Encore if host has unlocked it, gametype change every 5 maps
* "Always" - If host has unlocked Encore, alternates between Encore and Gametype. Otherwise, always a gametype change
* There's probably room for a setting between "Sometimes" and "Frequent", but I didn't want to overload the host with options and these were the ones that made sense.
* Better handling of buffer refreshes, to prevent two of the same map appearing next to each other in the voting unless there literally aren't that many maps.
* Mostly unrelated: Minor bugfix for Y_SetupVoteFinish, preventing music changes/random sounds playing on the You Will Join Next Race screen. (Branch-appropriate, at least.)
* Shield Drop...
* Whatever you've got orbiting or trailing you, DROP THEM WHERE THEY STAND. (Except for the ghost sink. That one's OK.)
* Pops your Thunder Shield.
* Happens upon ANY hit, except for deathpits.
* HUD Drop...
* Also does the above, except for the Thunder Shield thing.
* If there's any item left in your item box, pop it out as a little hovering, rotating Minecraft item!
* You can pick up the Minecraft item by driving over it if your item box is sufficiently empty, or the item which is contained within it is of the same type.
* Happens upon Size Down and battle elimination.
* Can also be forced on with `cv_kartdebughuddrop on`!
* Some other random stuff.
* Fix a bunch of `a->scale = b`'s into `P_SetScale(a, b)` form, for maximum validity.
* Make K_CleanHnextList and K_UpdateHnextList one function, since they only differed by one continue clause (and the type of their input parameter).
* Allow shrunken players to pick up item boxes again.
* Fix MF_NOCLIPTHING. (Gonna pass this fix to vanilla when I get the chance, too.)
* Break NiGHTS a little through my machinations.
* A better representation of an Encore level, now with inverted graphics (a special remapping we can now use elsewhere whenever if we want!) and a floating Ruby!
* Decouple encore's setting from cv_kartencore on mapload. Instead, bake it into D_MapChange and related, which will only some of the time be fed by cv_kartencore's value.
* Encore mode now has a special mapheader palette setting, "encorepal", rather than using the same one as non-encore.
* "kartvoices" cvar. Possible values "Never", "Tasteful" (default), and "Meme".
* Added a way to move quickly through the credits, rather than skip them entirely (hold spacebar or down arrow).
* Fix a few mistakes in M_ChangeCvar, some of which I introduced and some of which were weird in the first place.
* Tweak the offset of the arrows that let you know you can modify a cvar by pressing left or right (some via a patch.kart change, but others via tweaking the drawing location).
* 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.
* Combine the numlaps and usemapnumlaps functionality on the menu into basenumlaps, which numlaps is set to every race start, except when it's map default value (0) in which case it loads the map's lap count.
