Ring Sting is commented out. Item Boxes give 3 rings for first, 5 for middle position and 10 for back. The Super ring item gives 5 for first, 10 for middle, 15 for back.
The idea is to return it as a meter item while keeping and putting a restriciton on the speed building and storing part from the previous version. Using the boost while its active will drain time from the main timer to fill up store as it were, this store is what handles the boost duration which caps at 2 seconds. The speed increase from using the flame shield more and more now diminishes and caps around 81 fu/t on knuckles for example and is done seprately from the main drain timer and the store.
This makes it so droptarget knockback is the same regardless of mapscale, this also makes the item more fair and less annoying to go up against
Also remove the scaling effect from it as it was bugged and looked goofy
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.
All the code from k_respawn.c has been nuked. The gameplay of respawning works but it doesn't currently drop the player in the right spot for both legacy and new waypoints
Debris flies forward and outward from the player in the
direction of momentum. Debris particles bounce once then
disappear when they hit the ground for the second time.
Clouds spawn on and trail behind the player for a short
duration.
An optimized error check was put into P_BlockThingsIterator for tmthing, but this meant that anything that was not using or even setting this variable (the supermajority of them) would exit after finding 1 thing in each block.
To keep this error check & keep it optimized, the PIT_ functions were expanded to three options instead of two: BMIT_CONTINUE lets the search continue. If used as the last mobj, it will return true when the iterator finishes. BMIT_ABORT ends the search and forces the iterator to return false.
BMIT_STOP ends the search and forces the iterator to return true.
- Rename to Lightning Shield (it keeps fucking me up when I want to kartgiveitem it to myself)
- Fix inflictors causing damage being considered damage hitlag. Fixes the player using Lightning Shield being in damage hitlag state (most notable in the DI branch because hurting someone with it lets you DI afterwards, which also fucks with your turning)
- Rewrote attack function to use custom blockmap search instead of P_NukeEnemies.
- It can no longer attack below you, only above & around you.
- Increased the attack radius, so that it actually lines up with the sprites...
- Fixed extremely inconsistent ring blockmap search by moving it to playerafterthink (don't ask me why)
- Rings get joulsted by Lightning Shield when you pass by them without
- Added MAXRADIUS to the blockmap checks for lightning shield & mines, to reduce blockmap inconsistencies
Only applies to ring sting collision (no other types of damage touching), only applies to the person not getting stung. The person who is getting stung & sting trades are unaffected.
- Solid objects have new bouncing physics, it's a mix of the object bumping and wall bumping. It replaces the "solid" option on K_KartBouncing.
- Goomba stomp momentum is decided in K_KartBouncing itself instead of needing to be manually passed in as a boolean, so you'll be able to goomba stomp all objects instead of just players.
- Fixed bumping not carrying all of its intended momentum, due to a bug making friction apply very strongly.
- Fixed the bugs with them in our last netgame
- Karma bombs are no longer slippery or have stat changes
- Karma bombs cannot pick up spheres. Their remaining spheres before they died are removed 1 per tic.
- Karma bombs are out of the game permanently when touching the overtime barrier
- When successfully hurting another player, instead of getting 0.5 bumpers, they steal ALL of the opponent's bumpers, effectively swapping places with them. One bumper is lost in the process, meaning bumpers are slowly flitered out the more people need to come back.
- Removed karma items/eggboxes... hopefully this is temporary and we can bring them back later, but currently we don't have a design for how they should work under the new rules :x. They are still in the code behind the `OTHERKARMAMODES` define
- Bumpers & comeback timer are now player_t variables instead of kartstuff shit
- eliminated boolean on player_t for checking when a player touched the barrier
Instead of doing its best to avoid P_DamageMobj, it embraces it, using the damagetype system to decide how the player takes damage. Overall less stupid.
I remember when I tried to fix wolfs' branch I was having issues, but this ended up working pretty much fine? Don't remember why the old branch was messed up though (it was simply too old & not substantial enough to try and work off of imo)
Now this code won't make me pull out my hair. Could possibly be enhanced by using a function or define to handle the big copy-pasted tmthing/thing switch blocks in p_map, but for now I'm way happier.
As a result, Battle capsules are now destructible.
