Primarily to improve its defensive capabilities
* Trade penetrating attacks (like a Thunder Shield's AoE attack)
* Remove bump-chip
* Make how items damage the Bubble Shield more modular overall
directsound is deprecated since 13 years!

2.26.5 sdl brought some major improvements to resampling which fixes the issues this aimed to work around, but instead this workaround caused a plethora of issues, like breaking loops in some cases or the votescreen music
* Increase epsilon value, let it modulate based on gamespeed
* Adjust where the 'cluster point' is visualized in debugging
* Relay the role of 'cluster player' to the highest placing player in the bottom half, should the previous enter the top half
This is instead of their flung body, which drifts significantly from where you died and muddies the "LOL YOU DIED THAT CLOSE TO THE FINISH!?" voicecall laughter moments
- Fix not being able to change timelimit in MP break the capsules
- Use more readable variable name (singleplayercontext --> domodeattack)
- Reset timelimitintics in K_TimerReset()
- Play a countdown sound (same as introcountdown) per each of the last 3 seconds
- Jitter the time display HUD extra strong in a two-tic window around the above
- Fix timelimitintics not being set in TESTOVERTIMEINFREEPLAY builds (which is now all DEVELOP builds)
Notably REALTIME - prevents the timer stopping when you get hit, but also:
- Typing indicator
- Airtime tracking
- Kickstart accel
- No Contesting due to racecountdown
- Spectator data wipe
- Stronger preventative measure for possible finish line multi-hit events
It's been used interchangably as "this is a singleplayer gameplay context" and "This is a no cvar changing context". This addition repairs some behaviour which might have been inconsistent between netgame and netreplay.
Also reduces some of the dead time before Break The Capsules begins by cutting out the majority of POSITION!! and hiding the one measly bulb that would otherwise appear
- Implementation details:
- grandprixinfo.eventmode is the reference point
- All bots have spectator applied and removed at map start depending on eventmode, and I've done my best to guard against side effects of not removing them entirely
- You shouldn't turn off grandprixinfo.gp when turning on things like specialStage.active or bossinfo.boss when pursuing eventmode behaviour
- Probably needs to be integrated into XD_MAP for any future netplay support, is currently disabled.
- You technically don't have to assign a Capsules map to be the bonus and a Special Stage to be the special. A Capsules map can be assigned to a Special Stage too, and a Boss can be assigned to either of them.
- Special Stages are still just as incomplete as they were before.
- Break the Capsules has special behaviour.
- Timelimit starts at 20 seconds.
- Earn 10 seconds (plus a little extra cheaty time) every capsule you destroy.
- WIN + extra life if you bust all the capsules, COOL if you get some but run out of time, LOSE if you lose your bumper or run out of time without breaking a single capsule.
- Supposed to also give you rings, but ran into a LOT of difficulty with this and didn't want to commit half-baked stuff, so it'll be a later project.
Also:
- Fix a long standing bug where totalring was reset between maps, preventing the sum from adding up across GP rounds and depriving you of extra lives you were owed.
- Fix an issue where Break the Capsules record attack was KARTSPEED_HARD.
- Send timelimitintics in savegames, since it's handled seperately now.
- Fixes an issue where the card animation and the FINISH animation operating on two different timers, but using the same variable, would intefere with each other
- Also makes khud_fault use the same drawer, so it can benefit from interpolation
