- `P_InitMinimapInfo`
- Writes to `p_local.h` extern struct
- Handles everything previously distributed across multiple K_drawKartMinimapIcon calls (and most of AM_findMinMaxBoundaries)
- Reduces complexity of drawKartMinimapIcon significantly
- Last prerequisite before implementing user-placable minimap boundaries...
Supports values between 1 and 10, with 1 being the default.
If a multiplier greater than 1 is provided, the filename will take the form "MINIMAP-%d.png", where %d is the multiplier.
Return a `minigen_t` struct with explicit width and height instead of extending the UINT8 buffer by 2 to provide that information in a very datatype-limited way.
- All pre-existing colours are now actually what the code says they should be for the 2.2 palette
- RR-specific colour changes.
- Remove all noclimb-specific line colours
- Render areas that can't be stepped up/down onto as walls
- Add colours for
- Tripwire (cyan, but not 0xff cyan)
- Finish Line (grey)
- FOF info (blue)
- Use a low-intensity colour to signal possible offroad/hazard sector or stairjank step
- Rework to support drawing in multiple passes, so that information that is strictly more important (solid walls, finish line) will not be obscured at minimap resolution by nearby lines signalling offroad/stairjank

- Added K_TerrainHasAffect
- Returns true if terrain has any properties which would affect the player's gameplay, false if not.
- Generates "MINIMAP.png" in your srb2home
- Uses inherited automap code to render to a temporary buffer
- Because am_map.c is a mess of filescope static variables right now, this only works when the automap is disabled.
- Currently an equal alternate method to SLADE's map image export, but because we're in control, additional features can be added later...
- TODO: Off vertically by one pixel on GHZ. Otherwise effectively identical in shape
- TODO: the colours are rancid, I wonder if they were even updated for the 2.2 palette
Related:
- Use identical linear-time mechanisms for detecting borders of map geometry between automap and minimap
- Automap was previously using iteration over all vertices
- Minimap was previously pointlessly writing min/max values twice
This used to be used for `P_RelinkPointers()`, but was superseded by the far saner mobjnum. HOWEVER, its lingering effect was to leave `mobj->info` in an invalid state until a later `P_FinishMobjs()` was called. This is memory unsafety :D
After removing the last remnants of this ancient hack, it is now once again possible to connect to a server without crashing immediately. However, I did get a crash after a few seconds, so there is definitely still *something* nasty going on under the hood.
Foundational assistive work.
Also guarantees a consistent cup name length in memory, as some places read/wrote 15 bytes, and some places read/wrote 16 bytes. We settle on the latter (including null terminator) for the broadest backwards compatibility.
G: partial merge, missing lots of cup stuff
- Defaults to 1, AKA Sonic 1/2 monitor
- Set to 2 for Sonic 3k monitor
- Supports a range of 1-9 and A-Z
- Permits fine-grained rapid-prototype stretch goal Chaotix monitor stuff later in development
R_AllocTextureColumnTables wasn't checking if the tables were never allocated, making the renderer later attempt to render midtextures for drawsegs that don't contain actual midtextures.
