- Buffed crouch landing; lasts slightly shorter and cuts speed less
- Support for swimming! Knuckles has slightly different glide controls when he has swim sprites underwater
- Improved glide controls in 2D mode
- Super Knuckles perks: land from a glide or latch onto a wall to generate a shockwave and damage nearby enemies
- Refactored skid dust
- Made super sparks use FF_FULLBRIGHT
- Added P_SpawnSkidDust and P_Earthquake to Lua
- Moved respawn code to its own file
- Reorganized a lot of the code related to respawning
- As a result of the massive reorganization, I squashed several bugs. Most notably: mid-game joiners having weird spawns, being able to skip laps by respawning.
- Respawn lightsnake no longer takes you straight to your nextwaypoint -- it now has a minimum distance forward that it tries to put you at when you respawn.
- If they're already turning in one direction, they are more likely to steer in that direction for objects
- Bots have to want to turn in 1 direction for a few frames in a row before it'll let them
Prevents twitching & makes them less indecisive in general
- Add unique frames for inward and outward drifting.
- Increase the speed threshold required to reach your "fast driving" frames.
- Use slow driving frames when you're slowing down, even if you're techincally above the fast speed threshold.
- Use frameangle to smooth out the transition into drifting, instead of having "pre-turned" drift frames.
- Massive improvements to object steering -- they do it more often and more strongly
- Steering towards hurtable players is now weighted on acceleration, and steering away from painful players is weighted on handling
- Bots now can get & use Thunder Shield
- Bots now know how to detontate Eggman Item explosions early
- Top speed gets a buff to make up for them losing lots of speed without drifting, weighted more heavily towards low acceleration characters
- Use sneaker if held for too long without a proper use
- Use sneaker if losing too much speed
- Use sneaker if you have another boost (tether, boosters)
- Add triple sneaker & rocket sneaker support
- Don't go towards shortcut waypoints without a shortcut item
- Bots get naturally better handling
