Wax Quail

Adds Wax Quail, a new Blue powerup inspired by Risk of Rain 2, to Muck.

Jumping while sprinting launches you forward about 6m (+4m per stack).

The launch only happens when you are on the ground, sprinting, and moving faster than a walk. Air jumps, wall jumps, surf jumps, and swimming do not launch you. Holding jump keeps you near the boosted speed. It does not add another full boost on every hop. Releasing jump lets you slow back down when you land.

The launch speed is worked out from your jump as you leave the ground: your upward speed, Muck's gravity and extra fall pull, and your mass. That keeps the extra distance near the card on flat ground, even with jump powerups. Downhill you go farther, uphill shorter. The distance has not been playtested yet.

Wax Quail drops from Blue chests and shrines like any other Blue powerup. The pickup is an original quail. The icon is original.

Multiplayer

Every player needs this mod, and the same set of powerup mods. A player without it does not know the new powerup id and will error when a Wax Quail drops.

The launch is local physics. Other players see it through Muck's normal position updates. There is no extra packet.

Config is per player and is not synced. Each player's own settings decide how far that player's jump goes. A mismatch is a fairness difference. It does not desync the lobby.

Config

BepInEx/config/evan.muck.waxquail.cfg is created on first launch.

Credits

The Wax Quail item design is Hopoo Games' (Risk of Rain 2). Muck is Dani's. This mod contains no assets from Risk of Rain 2 or Muck. The icon is original.

Changelog

0.2.1

• The drop is an original quail mesh instead of a borrowed Blue powerup.

0.2.0

• The launch speed now comes from the jump itself. When the boost is delivered, the mod reads your vertical speed, height since take-off, mass, gravity and Muck's extraGravity, and works out how long you will be in the air. One stack then adds about 6m on flat ground whatever those values are. Before, a fixed 0.8s guess could send you about 18m.
• New key FallbackAirtimeSeconds (default 0.8) is used only when the airtime cannot be worked out. The old AirtimeSeconds key is no longer read.
• Not playtested. The distance and the verbose predicted airtime still need an in-game check (README test checklist).
• Tests now check the Harmony targets and extraGravity against the referenced Assembly-CSharp.

0.1.0

• First release. Wax Quail is a Blue powerup. A grounded sprint-jump launches you forward about 6m, plus 4m per extra stack.
