high speed jump/fall with (RF0.76)

Post by Veleran » Mon Dec 12, 2016 12:18 pm

I ran the previous update version 0.76 and the player is falling much faster?
I left the gravity Y to 0 and he falls very fast by default.

I do not use character selection so far and had to set the jump speed to 160 so he can easily jump over 64 units heights.
I mention it because if you frequently jump the camera movement can be tiring to the eye.

In rf 0.78 i used gravity Y -256 and jump speed 60 and the camera did not move so fast to follow the player which did not have to move up that fast.

First in the list of changes:

Plus, there were some calculations done wrong (like adding velocity to a position vector instead of velocity * elapsed time). Thus the value you have to specify for gravity will differ between 0.76.x and 0.78.x. Acceleration due to gravity should be given in texels/s² for the latter.

Thanks.That explains why the moment i tried Y gravity slightly less than 1 the player would slowly fly up like a balloon.Even with value 0.01.
In rf0.78 ,for a platformer style i preferred settings a gravity Y = -96 to -128 and jump speed at least 45.
