Alternative Glider Implementation

<p>This is a simple mod with the objective of applying retro game design to the glider.</p> <div style="border-style: outset; padding: 8px;"><strong>Note:</strong> The author is on indefinite break. If you would like to continue this mod, feel free to use the included source code.</div> <p>This mod changes the following:</p> <ul> <li>Disables pitch affecting glide direction;</li> <li>Displays a new <em>Glide Power</em> bar when the glider is active, which can be hidden in the config file;</li> <li>While gliding: <ul> <li><em>Glide Power</em> increases forward speed and decreases downward speed;</li> <li>Holding the <strong>Walk forward</strong> key causes the player to <strong>dive</strong>; <ul> <li>While diving, the player's downward speed increases;</li> <li>Downward speed is converted to <em>Glide Power</em>, up to a set conversion threshold;</li> </ul> </li> <li>Holding the <strong>Walk backward</strong> key causes the player to <strong>brake</strong>; <ul> <li>While braking, <em>Glide Power,</em> forward speed and downward speed all rapidly decrease;</li> <li>Breaking with a large amount of forward speed causes <strong>lift</strong>.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Upon running the mod, an <strong><code>altgliderimplementation.json</code></strong> config file will be created or updated in the game's ModConfig directory. The available options are:</p> <ul> <li><strong><code>show_bar</code></strong>: <code>true</code> to show the <em>Glide Power</em> bar, otherwise <code>false</code>;</li> <li><strong><code>sneak_to_dive</code></strong>: <code>true</code> to use <strong>Sneak</strong> (instead of <strong>Walk forward</strong>) to dive, otherwise <code>false</code>;</li> <li><strong><code>jump_to_brake</code></strong>: <code>true</code> to use <strong>Jump</strong> (instead of <strong>Walk backward</strong>) to brake, otherwise <code>false</code>;</li> <li><strong><code>glide_while_climbing</code></strong>: <code>true</code> to allow gliding while climbing, otherwise <code>false</code>.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Due to client-side dependencies, this mod may cause minor jittering in multiplayer when another player is climbing or gliding.</p>
