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
so you can record attack and it will also keep saving to statistics
also added a few things it now keeps track of
TODO: unfuck the statistics page and add a 2nd one perhaps? due to space reasons
menucode is hell
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
* Instead of doing constant G_MapNumbers when finding the relationship between maps and cups...
* Add a cache of level IDs to cups, to go with the strings.
* Add a cache of the cup pointer to maps, so we don't have to search through all cups to find our map. (done in P_InitMapData)
* Pre-emptive work: G_IsSpecialStage and P_GetNextEmerald now reference cup data instead of a hardcoded ID set.
* Remove a bunch of old stuff from mapheaderinfo_t/associated, and reorder what stays
* Countdowntimer? 💥
* Startrings? 💥
* sstimer/ssspheres? 💥
* forcecharacter? 💥 (distinct from forceskin)
* interscreen? 💥
* sstage_start/end and smpstage_start/end? 💥💥💥💥
* You've been blocked
* G_MapNumber now returns a special NEXTMAP_INVALID if not found, for more consistent reference.
* Incorporate a good chunk of the `edit-headers` branch. Can't clear maps individually because of the new restrictions on sequential mapheaders, but we can add a "disable in vote screen, not even for map hell/archive" flag to a map at some future juncture for equivalent functionality...
- mapvisited and recorddata_t (previously mainrecords)
- Changed how gamedata is saved and loaded
- Change the versioncheck (funny hex provided by chengi) AND call it `developringdata.dat` in develop builds
- Fix a bunch of off-by-ones in condition and emblem data
ALSO, for Time Attack:
- Fix menu not showing off your times
- Now save times even when gamedata modified, since the menu didn't care (come back to it?)
- Don't save times or do intermission screen if the Capsule Attack ended because you lost all your bumpers
- Fix a crash adding ghosts in Capsule Attack
- Refactor significantly (now has its own func, `G_GetNextMap`)
- If gametype uses cups, iterate through cups to find the current level, then grab the next valid level
- If not, get the next valid mapheader for your gametype
- SOC `nextmap`/`marathonnext` is not just deprecated but REMOVED
- Hide the NEXTMAP_ constants again, but leave support dummied out for if we have them publically accessible again
- Also get rid of a bunch of OTHER mapheader stuff we're never gonna use
- NiGHTS Grades? NOPE
- Vanilla titlecard patches? NOPE
- Boss music fadeout/replacement? NOPE
- Select Heading? NOPE
- You've been blocked.
- Don't show maps without lumps on the level select list
- this is me being petty, but making it NOTIMEATTACK in SOC instead of TIMEATTACK so we can reconsider the maps with/without them.
- G_MapNumber now handles special NEXTMAP_ nextmapspecial_t constants that exist at the end of the available type.
- Cleanup of G_DoCompleted
- Add bounds checking to the various SOC maincfg map starts (spstage_start, etc)
- Add lump checking to titlemap behaviour
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.
* Required an adjustment of everywhere using G_MapNumber to return the raw header number, instead of off-by-one ala gamemap.
* Fixing gamemap is a viable improvement for a future commit, but this commit is already pretty big.
* Remove SCANTHINGS, since it used G_MapNumber and didn't work with long map names OR virtres anyways.
* Support freeing new information in CLEAR LEVELS maincfg event, since I tried to use that to test cups.
* Make Patch_Free's usability match Z_Free -- passing NULL is permitted and a no-op.
- ResolvesKartKrew/RingRacers#281 under standard operation
- Add `-immediate` parameter for previous, `wait`-ignoring behaviour
- Used by configfile, EXECCFG
- Default color definitions are now parsed properly
- Fallback color value is now default color instead of player color
- Player setup now renders follower with right color
Selecting the first follower in the list is currently broken, will
fix later
- Sprites have directional lighting, like walls
- For normal sprites: contrast is much stronger than walls
- Papersprites look the same as walls
- SpriteBacklight option in level header weakens the contrast for sprites only
- SpriteBacklight subtracts from LightContrast
- E.g. SpriteBacklight = 0 would let it match LightContrast
- E.g. SpriteBacklight = 60 would make the contrast much weaker
- Negative values make the contrast stronger
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.
