modoptions: add `teamffa_start_boxes_shuffle` #523

Closed nbusseneau closed 9 months ago

In 79a5ecf276cbbfafb2680d4485da7c9503b0b05d on the game repository (see 1), we reworked FFA start points and additionally added a shuffling system for start boxes in TeamFFA games.

This was added because in multiplayer games it is desirable to hide start location, however in singleplayer it is a common scenario to play a pseudo-TeamFFA game against multiple AIs, and in this case players typically do not want to be booted off their specifically chosen start box.

To allow for toggling this behaviour on or off as needed, we add a new ModOption in the Extra tab (next to Anonymous Mode since it is another common setting tweaked in FFA games). This ModOption is set to "on" by default such that behaviour is unchanged in multiplayer games, however we also introduce a small QoL where it defaults to "off" in singleplayer games via a custom override done in Chobby.

This change was tested manually on a local build. When the checkbox is ticked in Chobby, shuffling occurs, when the checkbox is unticked, shuffling does not occur.
