[REQUEST] Better jumping in GameCube Prime 1 #75

Open ShawnSigma opened 3 years ago

ShawnSigma commented 3 years ago

Jumping in the GameCube version of Prime 1 stops Samus dead in her tracks, and it would be nice to have an option to make it so she keeps her moving speed like she does in Echoes and in every game in Trilogy (maybe in the cheats menu?)

It would make moving around a lot better, it's kind of frustrating when you know you should be able to make a jump but the weird mechanics just stop you

This would probably be best done in the form of a mod rather than directly in PrimeHack itself. Maybe try the "Source Movement Mod"?

SirMangler commented 2 years ago

For clarification, this happens because GameCube really wasn't designed for PrimeHack/FPS movement. Natively you cannot strafe without holding the Free Look button, and strafe jumps were very janky. This meant we literally had to rewrite a massive portion of the movement code with assembly patches to get it to work.

I didn't write that patch personally, so I can't say how easy it would be to resolve this problem, I just wanted to give you an explanation.
