SRB2Kart: Saturn

SRB2Kart is a kart racing mod based on the 3D Sonic the Hedgehog fangame Sonic Robo Blast 2, based on a modified version of Doom Legacy.

Saturn Features (Take a look at the "Saturn Options" menu c;)

• Sprites player rotation on slopes; going on hills, levitate, going down, and so on alters your sprites (configurable)
• You can alter all the base kart HUD element offsets on the fly in the Saturn Options settings menu
• addfilelocal Command, for those who want to use things like their custom hud in netgames (Same as addfile but completely client sided)
• OpenMPT for Tracker module playback instead of GME
  • Fixes looping and sounds better
  • Allows filter configuration
• The minimal brightness with Shaders can be configured, now you can seeeee in dark areas (0-255 , uses Sector brightness values)
• Lua HUD hooks for Intermission (ex: You can make hostmod votes still visible during intermission!)
• Lua HUD hooks for Vote Screen (ex: You can make hostmod votes still visible during map vote screen!)
• Saltyhop! do a funny hop
• Smaller Speedometer (optional / requieres extra.kart file)
• Record Attack input display can now be used everywhere
• Smaller minimap icons and also show player names on the minimap (toggable)
• showmusiccredit command, shows you the current music track again
• listskins show a list of all skins currently loaded
• Visual Portals from Haya's HEP Client
• Toggable lowercase menu's also from Haya's HEP client
• Everything that Galaxy has

Improvements / Bug fixes

• Replay size has been increased to 10MiB minimum, to make replay overflows very unlikely to happen
  • can be set to 100MiB max with maxdemosize command in console
• Music changes now properly show the music credits (ex: Kart maps with easter eggs that alter the music)
• The mapper still has to provide a MusicDEF for this to work.
• Configurable chatlog length (yay can read those messages from 30 mins ago without opening log.txt)
• Configurable timeout for waiting to join a full server (in vanilla this is capped to 5 minutes before it boots you out)
• Characters now spin in skin selection menu (configurable)
• HTTP Addon download speed has been raised dramatically
  • configurable with downloadspeed command
• HWR Drawnodes have been refactored, this should fix a few rare crashes esp in regards to OpenGL Visportals
• The Position Number in the corner is alot smaller now (half the size!)
• Toggable Lap animation
• Main menu shows the current renderer being used
• MSAA and A2C Antialiasing support (Configurable in renderer.txt file)

Performance / Debugging

• Access for mobj_t and player_t fields from Lua has been completely rewritten, for much better performance with many Lua scripts
• Lua shows Tracebacks whenever an error occurs
• The Lua Perfstats page now has multiple pages and is more organized (ps_thinkframe_page X in console)
• People with lower end hardware can disable "screen textures" with "gr_screentextures" command, huge performance gain with minimal visual loss
  • Intermission backgrounds, heat wave effects and etc are broken with this
• ffloorclip, exclusive to Software, which boosts performance on maps with many Floor over Floor sectors

Technical fixes

• ZFigthing Textures in Opengl mode have been fixed in engine (well almost all of it)
• FOFs intersecting with slopes have less issues and now render correctly in Opengl
• Midtextures on slopes in Opengl are fixed, many weird guardrails and fences, aswell as some of those sticking out textures from the ground on some maps should be gone
• The annoying depraction messages for P_TeleportMove and P_AproxDistance have been silenced
• Silenced the annoying "cant find next map..." messages as theyre super useless and annoying anyways
• Added a small cooldown on map command due to spamming causing a SIGSEGV

MISC

• Bird's Camara Tilting feature is no longer turned on by default
• Bird's warning on the title screen has been removed

Bugs

• On maps which change the song multiple times on map start (exp: Wandering Falls) may show multiple music credits appearing
• A2C antialiasing makes transparent surfaces even more transparent
• You tell us! c:
