Summary0000951: $Slide decel isn't being applied, for both up and right
Description$Slide accel and Slide decel do not behave as expected. Try this:
$Slide accel: 0.1
$Slide decel: 10.0
on a ship that can slide. (modular table attached for testing.) What happens?
Sliding down or left will decelerate slowly, but up or right will decelerate almost instantly. (Accelerating in any direction works fast too.)
Now swap the two figures. Sliding will accelerate slowly in any direction, but up or right will DEcelerate slowly (even though decel is at 0.1). Down or left works fast as expected.
Additional InformationSo, up or right are the directions with problems, only with decelerating (afaik).

But I've looked at the code (physics_read_flying_controls, the bits where ramp_time_const is set) and it should work the way it is, as far as I can tell! I've tweaked a few things and still no luck, but I'm still learning how this section works. It sounds like the sort of thing that is simple but easy to miss.

(Yes, I've made sure to test it on a clean install, which I have specifically for testing.)
TagsNo tags attached.

Um, holy crap. Your commit log looks like you ran it through a character formatter. A bunch of lines show up as different without any visual differences. And with so many of those, I can't tell what was actually changed. What happened?

Yeah, that's seriously annoying. Don't do that, or at least tell CVS to ignore white space changes on your commits.

Very sorry. Just switched to TortoiseCVS and thought I ironed all the problems out, but guess not. Will try to find the right settings for that.

I'd keep using WinCVS but it's being wonky also. Anyone have any recommendations?

Karajorma and I have been using TortoiseCVS and haven't had any problems with it. I don't know what happened to your commit; check the options as taylor suggested.

So uh... I think my commits are working properly now, and it looks like people fixed the files I munged... and this problem is dealt with, so I can resolve this. Tada! My first official bug resolved myself.

This physics exploring did open my eyes to a bunch of other fun stuff to dabble with. More from me later ;7
