Parallax Collisions - Ingame Implementation
Added 2020-12-22 22:26:40 +0000 UTCHey everyone! As I'm getting closer to release, I thought I'd share a preview of Parallax's 1.2 update working on Duna.
Duna will be getting a texture overhaul in this update because I'm not happy with how they look in the current version. The terrain, with collisions enabled, is also much easier to navigate.
I look forward to being able to provide a beta in the future!
Thank you to each and every one of you who have made this possible,
Linx

The damping is there to stop your craft from being kicked up into the air when leaving time warp or deploying landing gear. There's no way to avoid it. Are you trying to turn collisions off?

2021-03-04 23:09:46 +0000 UTCHey Linx, how do I turn off the damping effect? I'm just trying to keep my crafts landed on the Mun, and I think I remember green text popping up telling me that I can disable it in the config file. Is that the global config file? I only saw two lines towards the bottom about collisions, but nothing about damping.

I'd love to apply it to parts as well and it's something I'm investigating, but since wheels were the difficult step I decided to make sure they work well first. Depending on performance, I may limit it to wheels or allow players to decide whether they want collisions just for the wheels or for everything.
