TITANBITS_SEND
DESC: This flag changes the behaivor of the Titan Bits (babies) in Multiplayer.
ON: Titan Bits trajectories are generated locally by each players computer.
OFF: Titan Bits trajectories are generated by the owner.
The owner sends a broadcast with the Titan Bits trajectories.
WHY: This obviously saves network bandwidth and improves game response time.
Titans Bits packets are 200 bytes making them the largest packets in the game.
Normally a players pc would have to wait for the new packet to arive,
with this method the Titan Bits are instantly generated with no delays.
BAD: Only downfall is that each client will generates different trajectories.
Basically each Titan Bit is directed at MultiPlayers then Enemies then Randomly.
Each player most likely see's others in slightly different locations.
Also the randomly sent bits will obviously be different on each client.
Possible work around is to replace the Random trajectories with pre-defined angles.
Although this doesn't stop clients aiming Bits at players from their own perspectives.
NO_ORBITAL_POLYS
DESC: This flag turns on/off rendering of little circles around your cursor to signify that
you have orbitals
ON: Turns off the rendering of the circles.
OFF: Leaves the rendering in place.
WHY: Slows the shit out of debuggin mode in visual studios so it must cause much overhead.
This is here in case people want to turn it off because of desire or for speed improvements.
BAD: You don't know if you have orbitals unless you shoot.
NO_GRAVGON_TIMER
DESC: USed to turn on/off the gravgon timer.
ON: Stops gravgons from disapearing.
OFF: Gravgons act normal.
WHY: For training purposes.
Recommended preprocessor macros:
add _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS,_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to all to reduce warnings.

-------------------------------------
#ifdef // Comments:
// code optimisations
OPT_ON // turns on code optimisation (causes rendering lag?)
USEINLINE // turns on inlining
USEASM // uses assembler code (causes crash on start up)
FINAL_RELEASE // enables some extra inlining and hides weapon kills info
// useable
BSP // needed or else levels wont load
PLAYER_SPEECH_TAUNTS // enables you to press a key and send a biker voice taunt
Note: sound doesn't play on other people's machines yet
REMOTE_CAMERA_ENABLED // enables remote camera view in game (press 12 to turn on)
REFLECTION // enables extra camera which uses other bikes to show your reflection
CLIP_LINES // changes input in ClipGroup() from GroupImIn to group
MULTIPLE_READINPUTS // moves ReadInput() further down RenderScene() - no apparent controls
difference in brief game
COOPERATIVE // adjusts single player AI to attack nearest player in range
USE_DINPUT_KEYNAMES // - no apparent controls difference in brief game
SINT_PEACEFROG_CHEAT // titans and titan sharpnel home in on enemy targets
OLD_JOYSTICK_FORMAT // old joystick format for config (config.c)
OLD_METHOD // old method of trojax hitting a player (Primary.c)
BUGGED_STATIC_POV_NAME // instead of displaying joystick axis not connected, show the name of
the axis that is not working correctly
ENUM_PLAYERS_ON_TITLES // gets number of players (and names) at join screen (DPlayEnumPlayers())
instead of calculating ??
// debugging options
DEBUG_ON // enables debug menu options from within the game
DEBUG // aids debugging for framelag out of range (Oct2.c) and collisions (Node.c)
Z_TRICK // adds Z Buffer clearing on/off to detail levels menu
DEBUG_COMP // writes componented object data info (CompObjects.c) to logs for debugging
DEBUG_ENUM_PLAYERS // displays the status of player's at the 'start game' screen (chat area)
before launching game
DEBUG_SPOTFX_SOUND // displays informational messages about spot sound fx (.FX files) errors
from spotfx.c
DPTEST // displays networking informational messages in-game: Dpthread.c ListenThread()
DEBUG_VIEWPORT // displays detailed information (size, xpos, width etc.) about a viewport
(camera window) if a function fails.
