Improved level_info.c and added functions to LUA:
const char *get_level_name_ascii(s16 courseNum, s16 levelNum, s16 areaIndex, s16 charCase):
Return a level name as an ascii string. If charCase is 1, capitalize all letters.
If charCase is -1, decapitalize all letters except the first one of each word.
const u8 *get_level_name_sm64(s16 courseNum, s16 levelNum, s16 areaIndex, s16 charCase):
Return a level name as an sm64 u8 string.
If charCase is 1, capitalize all letters.
If charCase is -1, decapitalize all letters except the first one of each word.
const char *get_level_name(s16 courseNum, s16 levelNum, s16 areaIndex):
Shortcut for get_level_name_ascii(courseNum, levelNum, areaIndex, -1).
const char *get_star_name_ascii(s16 courseNum, s16 starNum, s16 charCase):
Return a star name as an ascii string.
If charCase is 1, capitalize all letters.
If charCase is -1, decapitalize all letters except the first one of each word.
const u8 *get_star_name_sm64(s16 courseNum, s16 starNum, s16 charCase):
Return a star name as an sm64 u8 string.
If charCase is 1, capitalize all letters.
If charCase is -1, decapitalize all letters except the first one of each word.
const char *get_star_name(s16 courseNum, s16 starNum):
Shortcut for get_star_name_ascii(courseNum, starNum, -1).
Added play_transition function to LUA.
I chose to copy the function declaration to smlua_misc_utils.h instead of adding area.h
to the autogen tool, as most structures, variables and functions in area.h aren't meant
to be used by LUA scripts.
Added a dev-only warp chat command.
This command signature is /warp [LEVEL] [AREA] [ACT]. Level can be either a number
or a shorthand name (bob, wf, ccm...). Area and Act are numbers.
This command is available only when building the game with DEBUG and DEVELOPMENT.
This command cannot be used if hosting through Discord.
Fixed a bug with moving sounds when they are played via a lua script.
Bug: Moving sounds (including terrain sounds, flying sound, quicksand sound)
are not played correctly when a lua script play them via a call of
play_sound or play_sound_with_freq_scale. This is due to how the moving
sounds are handled internally. They use the f32 pointer provided to the
play_sound functions to decide if the sound must be kept playing,
stopped or restarted. Most of the time, the pointer provided is the
cameraToObject field of Mario's object graph node. Since smlua uses a
circular buffer for Vec3f conversion, this pointer is lost, and the
sound engine can't decide what to do with the sound, resulting in a
weird and incorrect sound effect.
Fix: play_sound and play_sound_with_freq_scale now calls
smlua_get_vec3f_for_play_sound before filling the sound request queue,
to retrieve the correct pointer from the Vec3f provided by smlua.
Added a basic lua profiler
If the game is compiled with LUA_PROFILER=1, displays on screen the average execution time per frame of each active lua mod, in microseconds.
Added object functions
For some reasons, accessing the object fields obj.o* via lua is rather slow, and can drastically increase execution time of custom behaviors. For basic stuff like setting an object's velocity or moving it, some functions, missing from the original code, have been added:
s32 obj_is_valid_for_interaction(struct Object *o): returns 1 if an object is valid for interaction, i.e. active, tangible and not interacted.
s32 obj_check_hitbox_overlap(struct Object *o1, struct Object *o2): returns 1 if two objects hitboxes overlap. Doesn't check tangibility, only hitbox values.
void obj_set_vel(struct Object *o, f32 vx, f32 vy, f32 vz): sets an object's velocity.
void obj_move_xyz(struct Object *o, f32 dx, f32 dy, f32 dz): moves an object position by (dx, dy, dz).
Bug fixes:
Disable collisions with walls and ceilings after Mario exits a warp pipe to prevent softlocks in narrow places.
Make the koopa shell exclamation box respawn after some time.
Quicksand no longer downwarps and instant-kills Mario if he's shocked while being above it.
