playerphysicspatch.lua - now in 2 flavors

[BrokenAce]

I just tried this out in Beta 4 and it does absolutely nothing. What gives? Am I missing something?

Did you try loading the API in a local Lua file?

What's an API? If that's an alternate name for the code itself then yes I have tried that.

Edit: Never mind, just me being a noob. Turns out just I forgot to put the Require in my luna.lua.

just for the record, i believe they mean "library" and not "API". an API is something else entirely.
in any case, if creating a file called "luna.lua" in the episode/level folder and placing

Code: Select all

require("playerphysicspatch") 

inside doesn't work then it's hard to say what the problem might be if you have no other libraries loaded which could be interfering.

A fix to this would be greatly appreciated

This is awesome but I do wanna mention that it seems to really mess up "slippery physics". Now anything with the slippery property is more like slime. It INCREASES friction with this patch on as opposed to decreasing which is what it's supposed to do.

I actually found a fix for this; if you change 0x3C to 0x0A on the 25th line, it'll disable the patch for players who are touching ice. However, since this is an edit to the slope-sliding patch, it also comes at the sacrifice of smooth slope sliding. There's probably a way to have both "fixes" active at once, if you know your way around the code (unfortunately I don't).

Uh, I'm blind. I can't tell what's different here. Is it speed? Or smoother control?

Faster acceleration and deceleration. Also, you decelerate in the air.

Has anyone been able to recreate SMW-esque physics using this? And if so, what variables should be changed?

If you want a jank-ish fix for this, then you go to line 25 and add this:

Code: Select all

or player:mem(0x0A, FIELD_BOOL)

after player:mem(0x3C, FIELD_BOOL). this won't play nice when jumping/falling off of slippery tiles, and it won't feel exactly like the normal ice physics, but hey, ice worlds are now a possibility.

I've only just come across this find here. It actually looks as if you can imitate the SMB1 (Lost Levels) behavior a little, doesn't it? Is the default configuration already recommended or would there even be recommendations on how to change it?

Since my chocolate contest level I've been chipping away at a 2nd flavor of this script.
Introducing playerphysicspatch shmoove mode.
https://pastebin.com/r4bdCxTN

This variant of the script comes with a few changes.
- The aerial idle deceleration defaults to no deceleration.
- The script overwrites the use of Defines.walkspeed and Defines.runspeed, dynamically altering them to let you exceed the run speed cap.
-- It is possible to exceed the run speed cap by sliding, hitting bumpers, hitting springs, using starman, clear pipes, barrels, and other things that mess with your x speed

This variant of the script comes with a few bug.
- If you jump up into a slope the game freaks the fuck out and I don't know why and if someone smart is reading this and bored, please help me AAAAA

So if that bothers you just make sure to use it in a level without a lot of slopes for now lol

enjoy!

i've also added a new section to the bottom of the first post for configs! if you've ever customized physicspatch and really liked how it felt, leave a reply and i'll add it to the first post!

ooooh, this was already one of my favorite scripts, thanks for the update

edit: I'm getting a 404 on pastebin, "This paste has been deemed potentially harmful. Pastebin took the necessary steps to prevent access on February 6, 2025, 11:26 pm CST. If you feel this is an incorrect assessment, please contact us within 14 days to avoid any permanent loss of content."

could be I just need to be patient to wait for it to get approved idk

Could be the case. I downloaded it before it got taken down, so I'll keep it here until whatever happened gets resolved:

anyways, I notice that for some reason it doesn't look like it's multiplayer compatible, so that may be the next thing I'll try to tackle.

EDIT: There is now a new update to the uncapped physics patch, so go download that in the first post. This is kept here for archival purposes.

i contacted pastebin about the issue... thanks for the backup

Yea no problem.

Something I did note is that the player animation acts like they're walking when running. I'm pretty sure that because of the defines change, so what I want to know is if there's any way to override the normal animation.

also forgot to ask this but how is it "Fucked up on slopes!!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!! OH NO!!!"

Setting Defines.player_walkspeed and Defines.player_runspeed to WALKSPEED and RUNSPEED in onTick seems to fix the animation.

One bug I found is that the player is unable to fly with the leaf and tanooki suit.

Doing that won't add the extra speed the star or slope gives you.

you clip into upwards slopes and straight up pass through upwards semisolid slopes. i think slopes just simply arent made for these kinds of speeds but i dont know the source code well enough to make sense of it.



Anyway here's a new link that fixes multiplayer, pspeed and run animation. I added a new flag: "lenientPSpeed". If you enable this, the flight timer doesn't instantly deplete when landing without sufficient speed. It is a mode more lenient than basegame SMBX, and you might find it fun. It is disabled by default.

I see. Well today, MDA showcased a WIP Sonic in the SMBX discord, so it may help you with the slopes whenever it comes out? Not sure.

Just tested the update. Multiplayer and the leaf now work, but the run animation is still not playing properly. Also really appreciate the new settings. Very nice customizability option for this.
