Every Sprite has a Santa Hat (almost)

Duke has a Santa hat. Enemies have Santa hats.
When you blow them up, their jibs have Santa hats.
Palm trees, ammo containers, garbage cans. Rats. Cameras. Pretty much everything has a Santa hat.
Except the Santa hats. They don't have Santa hats.
Also, bulletholes, explosions, and transporterbeams don't have Santa hats.
Raindrops do, though. And bits of debris. Most everything does.
Am I making myself clear?

So I made this mod today. If you want (almost) everything to have a Santa hat, then download it. It's 33KB, because I included the GAME.CON which isn't really necessary because it works with any old GAME.CON. But if you aren't sure what to do, just download those little files and put them in a folder that has an install of the vanilla game, then start the game. You will be amused. Or not.

Download link from dropbox:

Here's video, because, let's face it, installing this is probably not worth your time.

I was using the game folder of the mod where you press a key to freeze everything except the player, so that code is in there too. Which means that you can get nice screenshots of everything wearing Santa hats and send them as thoughtful Christmas e-cards to your hundreds of friends who play Duke 3D. You're welcome.

This is the worst thing I've seen. I hate it.

If you ever make a new version I'd suggest removing the hats from the wall blood splatter, because that just looks glitchy. I also noticed that the HoloDuke (deployed) does not have a santa hat.

If anyone cares, they can add more exceptions to the list in "state spawnhats" to prevent hats from spawning on the splatters. The holoduke's hat being invisible was a side-effect of me making the player's hat invisible when in 1st person view. I'll bet if you press F7 that your holoduke's hat would appear.

The actual usefulness of this mod is it has code for determining the exact top of a sprite, regardless of the sprite's size, dimensions, and what animation it happens to be displaying at the moment. That would be good for more accurately detecting headshots, for example.

This is just silly. 10/10

But in all seriousness the technical implication of that is pretty cool

Yeah, tiledata.ysize is the key here. Multiply that by yrepeat, add a little magic sauce and you get the top of the sprite. The bottom of the sprite is just the .z value, the top can be obtained through the formula alluded to, then of course the up/down midpoint is just the average of the two. So with all that data, we can get a pretty good read on heights needed not only for headshots on any arbitrary enemy, but also chest, leg and groin shots (assuming typical human proportions). I'm sure there are other applications.
