    SRB2Kart Saturn - v10 Stable

    Indev450 released this 2026-09-17 14:53:40 +02:00 | 23 commits to Saturn since this release

    Improvements/Features

    • Accessibility: Added "Auto Acceleration" feature (Port from hostmod by Tyron (https://mb.srb2.org/threads/hostmod.26649/))

    • Accessibility: Added "reducevfx", similar to Ring Racers this "tones down" or disables certain effects (Feel free to suggest more things if we missed anything!)

    • Added flipcammode toggle for using local flipcam settings instead of player flag "flipcammode"

    • The player setup menu now will display 3D models if they are enabled and exist

    • The Server Join Info screen now has a new option to allow only loading a servers Addons and Gamestate instead of joining the server

    • Display information about addon types loaded on server when joining

    • Added option to hide finished players from minimap

    • Added option to hide skin name from stat display

    • Added toggles to disable Controller Rumble and LED changes when the game is out of focus

    • Added support for using custom SDL2 mappings

    • Updated OpenGL Dithering shader so it now properly scales with resolution like intended

    • Replay search now strips colours from demo titles, so you can properly search for replays that contained names with colours like server names

    • Calling P_PlayRinglossSound from lua will now print a warning since it is prone to desynching
      ; (Fixing that may cause a lot more frequent desynchs with vanilla and old Saturn versions, so we opted to notify lua scripters to use alternatives instead)

    • When the game crashes, the Crash message box now contains a button that will bring you to the github issue page to report the crash issue

    • Saltyhop now adds to player spriteyoffset instead of completely overwriting it

    • Ported lua profiler from Ring Racers. Toggled with "lua_profile n", where n is number of ticks to sample (higher value - less flickering but more "averaged out" result)

    • Added visual "stair jank" togglable effect, can be enabled/disabled in Saturn Options -> Player Distortion menu, or with "stairjank" and "stairjanksfx" cvars

    Optimizations

    • HWR_ProcessSeg: ported software renderers code to skip rendering inner sides that are "joined" to other fofs (speedup on maps with lots of FOFs)

    • Use doomednum lookup when spawning/respawning mapthings (faster levelload)

    • Avoid constant memory allocations for OpenGL drawnodes (small speedup on maps with many translucent fofs)

    • Replaced custom rounding function with standard lib function for OpenGL clipping (faster and portable)

    • Simplify detecting Mobj hooks in hooklib which gives a slight speedup in some cases

    • Improved performance of CV_Findvar and CV_FindNetVar, should lead to better performance with a lot of lua scripts and allows for slightly faster server join

    • Improved performance of the VHS effect in OpenGL while also making it visually more consistent across different resolutions

    • LTO is now enabled by default, this should lead to more speedups, can be disabled with NOLTO compile flag

    • Optimized Lump Caching (https://github.com/Indev450/SRB2Kart-Saturn/pull/217)
      ; Added a lumpnumber cache using hashtables (implemented using Verstable https://github.com/JacksonAllan/Verstable),
      this significantly speeds up everything lump related and may give a big performance boost in some cases
      ; Replaced wad start/end folder aatree lookup with hashtable lookup as well
      ; Removed longname code, which was unused to save on memory and unnecessary work

    • Various smaller code optimizations in many places

    • Port some lua optimizations to BLUA (https://github.com/Indev450/SRB2Kart-Saturn/pull/223)

    • Netcode fixes, cleanups and optimizations
      ; Reordered packet handling a little, so common/important packets get checked first
      ; Pass node number to SV_AddWaitingPlayers (saves iterating through all 128 net nodes every time a player joins) lifted from Ring Racers
      ; Moved all packet handling to the packet handlers
      ; Fixed some packet types not being correctly handled
      ; Fixed double byte-swap in SV_MakeTic (srb2-legacy port)
      ; Fixed wrong clamp for realfirsttic that was too early
      ; Merged SendNameAndColor & SendWeaponPref
      ; Cleanup PT_ClientJoin
      ; Cleanup SV_AddWaitingPlayers

    • Optimize K_CheckOffroadCollide

    • Reorder layout of seg_t struct a bit, improves performance

    • EnsurePlayerNameIsGood: Remove trailing whitespace, instead of just failing on it

    • Some fixes for bad player info on joining servers.
      -- Send local player info once per local splitscreen player, rather than n^2 times (where n is the number of local splitscreen players).
      -- Since the packet requires four names to be sent every time you join a server, send dummy names for local splitscreen players who aren't connecting, instead of your actual cvars (no data leakage you didn't ask for!)

      ; Tested on MacOS and Linux
      ; Windows may work but untested and unsupported
