WIP: Player Movement Rework (!1563) · Merge requests · STJr / SRB2

Claire Ellis requested to merge accel-momentum into next Jul 01, 2021

Changes

Increased gravity, jump height (spring and other gimmick thrusts increased to compensate)
Acceleration and deceleration curves made linear (Current public build's acceleration is multiplicative. This new adjustment makes it easier to move from a standstill.)
Thok does not exceed current speed (for testing purposes)
Acceleration increased in midair (Was 50% of ground accel, is now 100%)
Super Sonic and super sneakers increases acceleration
Adjustments to handling movement at high speeds
accelstart and thrustfactor decoupled from acceleration
thrustfactor now impacts handling -- higher values are easier to stop and change direction with
Player can build and preserve momentum from springs, slopes, etc.
- Visual dust effects will appear if the player turns at an angle that causes excess momentum to be lost
Increased movement control while spinning
Slope launching no longer halves the Z momentum vector (more accurate slope launching angle)
Tails flight reworked to be more accurate to Sonic 3 flight
- Acceleration is normalized to standard acceleration (from 200% to 100%)
- Horizontal movement better respects underwater physics
- Reworked speed reduction mechanic, made more aggressive when attempting to rise
- Top speed while attempting to rise reduced (from 50% to 25%)
- Top speed is restored when player stops attempting to rise
