Many new options have been added.
You can now specify "menucolor" when creating a gametype. This accepts a V_ colorchar flag (IE V_PURPLEMAP) and will be used to color hud elements in menus and on the HUD.
Encore is now controlled by GTR_ENCORE. This allows for custom modes that don't accept encore.
Itemodds are now controlled by GTR_RACEODDS and GTR_BATTLEODDS respectively. If neither is specified on gametype creation, completely random items will be rolled.
General GTR_FREEROAM adjustments
Also:
- improved error prints for SOC condition definitions
- improved bounds checking to use `nummapheaders` for iterating over mapheaderinfo
There are still situations that use NUMMAPS like mapvisited, randmapbuffer, etc, which need to be addressed before merger.
Gremlins happened whenever P_TryMove and P_SlideMove/P_BounceMove disagreed on what an object collided with. When TryMove said you collided with a line, but P_BounceMove said that you didn't, then you'd get gremlin'd.
To fix this, P_TryMove now can edit a struct to contain information on what it collides with. P_SlideMove and P_BounceMove no longer try to detect walls on their own and now requires this result from P_TryMove. If a slide/bounce is needed without moving the object, then you'd want to use P_CheckMove to get the result.
Nep Note: I tried implementing lua support, its probably shit lmao
This makes it significantly easier to save/restore the state of these variables, whenever we need to do so for calling movement functions in the middle of other movement functions. This will also make it easier to move it out of global variable hell if desired later.
- The pain + hit confirm delay is done for all players, instead of only the damaged player.
- The player who got the hit also gets to hear their pain sound at full volume.
- Changed the code so that your hit confirm sound effect will no longer be interrupted if the player who got hit left the game.
Allows for custom weather types.
In SOC:
```Freeslot
PRECIP_GROOVY
Weather PRECIP_GROOVY
Type = MT_PARTICLE
Effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING```
In Lua:
```freeslot("PRECIP_GROOVY")
precipprops[PRECIP_GROOVY] = {
type = MT_PARTICLE,
effects = PRECIPFX_THUNDER|PRECIPFX_LIGHTNING
}```
Then in level header, simply set `Weather = PRECIP_GROOVY`.
Other properties are part of the object itself:
- Falling speed is set as the object's speed
- Sound ID is set via the object's SeeSound
- Sound frequency is set by the object's Mass.
* Rework HU_UpdatePatch to HU_UpdateOrBlankPatch with a "required" boolean.
* If desired graphic is not present in resources:
* If required is true, return `missingpat`.
* If false, return NULL as before (font compatibility).
* Add an alias with the previous function signature, so you don't need to add a million `true`s everywhere.
* Remove a ton of irrelevant graphics the game attempts to cache only because of code inherited from vanilla SRB2.
* Remove the unused hudinfo system, also inherited from vanilla SRB2.
