it wouldve been cool if the models would turn on where you are going

Wait are you saying we can add wall running sprites for normal characters?
yes, the only reason there arent any on the vanilla characters is because I don't know how to sprite
Also they are required in some form if you want models with a different animation than normal running (though you can just copy your existing run sprites and rename them)

So this is probably my favorite mod and I've really enjoyed watching it's progress but I'm sad to report to (at least for me), the last two updates (1.2.1 and 1.2)
broke the ability to do spin stunts off of springs when using xmomentum. I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing or not doing, though for what it's worth each time I've tried I've had "globalhpu" set to on, but since that's the only way to get the halfpipe stuff to work it's kinda gotta be, so I really don't know what else to try

Will be fixed in the next update, was just a tiny oversight. Thanks for letting me know!

i dream of werehog 2
ive been suffering for a week trying to make the wad load and turn on once the map is loaded im dying hghrhghrhgrgr
problem: lua.hpu = active does not do anything and is registered as an unknown word by the game, the wad is loaded underneath srb2's pk3, the funni wad only works when i use the command globalhpu on
please release me from this pain ouch
listen man i just want this goofy mod to work for my custom pizza tower based mod im making for myself to experience 3d pizza tower

I just typed "globalhpu on" into the console whenever I wanted to use it, at least until I realized you could mod the pk3 to automatically turn on every time it's loaded by entering the lua and changing the default globalhpu value from 0 to 1

The solution you got should definitely work, though if you want it to work without modification, here's a screenshot of the MAINCFG of the test mapView attachment 85955

you can ignore most of the stuff here, but it appears that the "Lua.hpu = active" is case-sensitive (capital L is needed), which mightve been your problem. I would maybe give the level header thing another shot, just with the line changed to have the capital L. That might work as intended.

fixed the capitilization but it didnt work
Could you send a screenshot of your map resources and maincfg in zone builder? maybe I have it set up differently somehow?fixed the capitilization but it didnt work

It's a cool concept! The community always thirsts for this sort of feature, especially considering how admirable it is to even dare try.
Though personally, I'd move away from using ramp sectors ASAP. In SRB2, running past sectors fast enough often means the game thinks you simply skipped past it, and in this case, rammed headfirst into a wall like so. Then you're left with no speed and your sector-based detection mechanism fails.
Since loops/wallrunning require speed, this happens alot.
Perhaps you could have mappers tag desired wall-runnable linedefs with an unlikely (set of) flags (Like Effect 6) and use a MobjLineCollide hook instead? That has the added benefit of working better for those couple midair frames, as the player's slope is only recorded when they are grounded, but a R_PointInSubsectorOrNil sector scan should be up-to-date. You wouldn't need clunky mapheaders either. Just add "[15] Transfer line" to the two linedef flags, for example, and that individual wall is now a chain-jumpable wall.

if this were to be done, I do wonder what would be done about maps that have been made already, as I like to use the addon for levels which have... well, half-pipe ramps which use rolling to get you up a wall, as the addon makes it more reliable.It's a cool concept!

All the more reason to switch it up sooner rather than later. The mod's potential is bottlenecked by this sector-based foundation, and the more levels are created with ramp sectors as the detection mechanism, the more would have to be ported over.
thanks for the insight! When testing stuff like xmomentum I definitely noticed this but I kinda assumed it was just an inevitability of the way ground detection works and didn't bother working around it. I'll probably revisit this relatively soon and rework some of the detection mechanisms to be more friendly with higher speeds with your suggestions in mind. I do still want the slope requirement for starting wall running, so I'll have to look into the way the pointinsector function works.It's a cool concept!

Also not sure if I like the idea of linedef tags, level header has already seemed kinda confusing for some but complicating it more with tag combinations seems like it would make it even harder. Plus, I don't really want the few people that have been developing maps with this so far to have to retag all their walls in order to use a new wall/slope detection mechanism and I like the idea of it being somewhat global as long as it's enabled.
Regardless, thanks for all the suggestions! When I work on this again I'll definitely keep them at the forefront of any changes I made.

Oh how I look forward to anything you guys do with baited breath. The halfpipe utilities are an absolute prerequisite for any mod loadout I can conceive of. Between it and the Sonic New Ceiling Run the game is played on the ceiling as much as it is the floor

I have no clue how to use this is mappacks, do I take the assets from the addon and put them in separately in different folders or just put the WAD directly in the PK3? Or do I gotta do something else?
