But Modern Sonic already drifts automatically when you sharp turn while boosting, a drift button is not necessary and it's not that hard to pull off the automatic drift, especially if you know when you should turn and at what angle.
So to get the best of both worlds, there could be a command or something like that. Who knows ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ ?

Drifting is as easy as holding a strafe key and turning the camera at the same time at a certain speed or quicker, it's basically manual if you figure out how to cause it to happen on command. Plus the benefit of reduced boost loss since it slows down the drain significantly.
it's very hard to pull off, I wish they made it so you can hold shift while boosting to drift.
I also wanted to post this since I just noticed it while re-watching the srb2 direct: View attachment 65912

And finally, does this mod have x momentum support? Before he used to gain speed while running normally, however, he now doesn't get any of the effects from the mod at all (yes, I made sure it was active).
Also where is this from?

Yes, in the form of a hyper ability.
Basically, Modern's hyper ability is that the airboost doesn't drain rings faster, and it causes a screen nuke when started.

So Modern Sonic doesn't get the new physic changes like the slow momentum gain?
I don't think it's even needed. Modern Sonic now is plenty powerful, and a little hard to master if you don't have the prowess and experience of using him for a while. He's plenty capable on his own, and a buff would probably make him too fast.

B-but

Gotta go fest

However, you do keep your momentum if you stop boosting and continue running, so you'll go as fast as you were prior to stopping. But, it only serves to put you at a disadvantage since you'd lack the protection that comes with the boost ability.

It's been a long 7 months working on Modern Sonic. What was originally going to just be a port of ModernAbilities turned into an entire rewrite. With brand new effects, sounds, commands and more. It's been a blast making him and I really tried to make Modern Sonic feel authentic without changing his physics to feel out of place for SRB2. Without further ado, Here's ModernSonic!

Abilities:

HomingAttack/DoubleJump: Sonic's midair ability is determined by if he has something to home in on or not. When near Enemies/Monitors/Springs, Sonic will launch at it with precision. Otherwise, Sonic will preform a second jump which is handy for gaining a bit of extra height or for platforming.

Boost: While on the ground, pressing and holding the Custom 1 button will allow Sonic to boost forward at breakneck speeds plowing and sending badniks flying into the air. You are invulnerable to enemies in this state however spikes, crushers, and deathpits can still harm you.

AirBoost: The air equivalent of the Boost. Use this to gain more distance in the air than you could with the doublejump.

Stomp: Pressing Spin anywhere off the ground will cause Sonic to plummet down to the ground creating a shockwave at the point of impact. This can be used to stop on a dime for platforming and damage enemies, and monitors alike.

Slide: While moving at just about any speed, press and hold spin while on the ground to perform a slide in the direction you are moving. It's essentially a replacement to the spin so use it to get under small gaps that only spinning players would be able to access.

Light Speed Dash: Using Custom 2 near a trail of rings allows Sonic to travel along the trail at "Light Speed". Useful for precise ring collecting or for levels that support the ability for alternate paths.

WallJump: Sonic can cling to a wall by jumping against it. Press jump again before Sonic slides off to Jump upwards away from the wall.

Super Sonic!: Using Custom 2 with all emeralds and 50+ rings will transform Sonic into Super Sonic. What new abilities will he have? It's up to you to find out!

Rush Mode: Filling your boost meter fully will have Sonic enter Rush mode granting infinite boost and a snazzy glow effect for a short period of time. Extend the timer by destroying enemies, collecting rings, and doing tricks! Speaking of...

Tricks: Pressing Custom Button 3 after hitting springs, steamjets, and dustdevils will have Sonic start performing tricks to fill his boost gauge. Press Jump or Spin to do the trick finisher rewarding you with even more Boost Energy.


Drifting: Turning sharply while boost makes Sonic enter a drifting animation which slows the rate at which you lose boost energy.

Grinding: Unlike everyone else who rides in minecarts on rails, Modern Sonic prefers grinding on them instead. This allows you to jump on and off rails at any time you please allowing for exploration and shortcuts not possible before.

Tips:
*The Boost relies on Sonic's Boost Energy which can be seen in the meter near the edge of the screen.

*Replenish your Boost Energy by collecting rings and destroying/damaging enemies/bosses or doing tricks.

*Hitting a Checkpoint will grant Boost Energy

*Holding Spin above a certain speed while stomping will cause Sonic to transfer into a Slide, otherwise it acts as a normal Stomp.

*Boosting or Stomping into breakable FOF's will break them.

*Pressing Custom2 while LightDashing will cause Sonic to cancel the ability.

*Holding Spin while Walljumping will turn the camera towards the direction you are jumping to.

*While crouching or refraining to boost for 5+ seconds, Sonic will start to gain Boost Energy back. This is especially useful for levels that don't have too many rings or enemies to help replenish the Boost Energy normally.

*Jumping and holding the Jump button while Boosting will slow Sonic's midair speed. Use the Airboost to counteract this!

*The Doublejump slows Sonic's movement speed slightly.

*Stomping onto a spring will yield greater height similar to Amy's hammer.

*Some shields give Sonic a special effect to some of his abilities.

*Pressing Jump as a trick finisher gives you bonus height.

*Holding any direction while while finishing a Homing Attack will let Sonic carry his momentum from it.

*With SMS added, Sonic can go Mystic Super. In this form you gain unlimited jumps underwater, a stronger Walljump, infinite Airboosts, and unlimited Boost Energy.

Commands:
FootSteps: Toggles the custom footstep sounds as well with the custom landing/skidding sounds. Use On/Off

Voices: Used to Toggle/Choose the voice actor Sonic uses. Use 0-4 or the Voice actors first name. Choices are Ryan Drummond, Jason Griffith, Roger Craig Smith, or Jun'ichi Kanemaru.

Homingattack: Used to toggle the Homing Attack. Use On/Off

Actionswap: Used to switch the Custom1 and spin actions. Use On/Off

Supermusic: Used to choose which music plays while Super. Choose between Custom, Normal, or Off

Rushglow: Used to change the color you glow while in Rush mode

Modernfov: Used to toggle the Field of view change for some of Sonic's abilities. Use On/Off

Poses: Used to toggle Sonic's poses after homing attacks. Use On/Off

Hudstyle: Used to change the style of the HUD you use. Use 0-7

Adding Footsteps to Custom Textures:
Add this bit into any Lua script that you have in your addon

if not ModernSonic_FlatSounds
rawset(_G, "ModernSonic_FlatSounds", {})
end

ModernSonic_FlatSounds["CUSTOMTX"] = "grass"
ModernSonic_FlatSounds["CUSTOMT2"] = "wood"

Replace "CUSTOMTX" with the name of the texture you want it to work for.
and replace "grass" or "wood" with any of the following sound types:

"grass", "dirt", "metal", "concrete", "wood"

Do note that Solid FOF's with a translucency will automatically use the glass sfx and liquids use the water sfx.

FAQ:
Q:Why does Sonic DoubleJump instead of an airdash?
A:Because I wanted to implement Sonic Colors into this and the Doublejump is great for platforming. Something SRB2 has a lot more of than the modern games.

Known Bugs:
*The walljump can be a bit buggy on some walls. I'm still trying to work on a fix for this so be patient and dont give me a million complaints about it.

*Sometimes when homing in on an enemy, you can get stuck trying to destroy them...but nothing happens

*Sometimes while boosting on certain Slopes, Sonic can get stuck until you stop boosting.

*Not all textures in the game are indexed for the footsteps. I tried to get all of the ones you happen to "run" into in the main campaign at least.

*Splitscreen is not fully supported.

Credits:
Man...I Have a lot of people to thank for Modern Sonic being possible this time around.
No longer is he the shitty/buggy version he was in 2.1.
now with new effects, sounds, functions, commands, sprites AND more.
He's more than I ever expected him to be. Especially since he was originally going to just be a direct port from 2.1

Ahem- let's not get carried away.

Golden Shine: Thank you for helping me figure out how to make a lot of the effects look pretty good.
Bug testing early on.
Being a HUGE support when there were times I honestly wanted to give up.
Lending bits and pieces of your own code as well as helping with sounds, knowing you didnt have to but you did to help me succeed.
Thank you for reworking SMS' boost aura to work for Modern. It looks awesome!
Seriously this wouldnt have been possible without you.
Also another thanks to helping me refine the new walljump controls for V5.

LACH: Thank you for helping me with so many of my Lua questions.
Special thanks for showing me how to use tables and use rawset among other things.
HUGE thanks for writing the sounds functions (The Footsteps/Voices)

Chrispy: Special thanks to creating and letting me use your SonicCE pre-4.0. A lot of people dont seem to like it but it's one of the better old Modern Sonic's
in my opinion.

Doom Flare: A personal friend. Thank you for making the old sliding frames and the original crouching frames.
Even though you were not getting anything in return, you did it because we're friends...I really appreciate that.

DrStephen: Massive credits to pretty much doing the entire sprite remake. this wouldnt have been finished if it weren't for you...

Inuyasha/K.S.: Thank you for letting me use and modify the transformation script and the laser wisp script from your Sonic Colors Blast 2 script.
This was my solution to not having transformation sprites in the CE Style. Thanks again for the original boss hud script
which this boost meter was heavily edited from.

Badz and Hitcoder: Thank you both for your own renditions of the lightdash and giving permission to use them.
I merged both together for a pretty fluent LSD....at least in my opinion

ManicTH14: Thanks for the original walljump SOC used from your Mighty you were working on. It was used in the 2.1 ModernAbilities
but repurposed and refined for 2.2 Modern up until V4.

Rumia1: Thanks for making the new underwater curl up sfx. It sounds more...echoy

Frostiikin and TrickyTex: For the large touchup to the colors hud mid V5 development

Zipper: Thank you for reducing some code length in the Hud

TrickyTex: Added the new Ring engine sounds. Sounds super cool :)

SMS Alfredo: Made the first iteration of the Rush mode. Also pretty much did all the code for the ACZ rail grinding.

VelocitOni: Thank you for allowing me to use the drifting graphics from Kart that you made. They look a lot better than the older ones used.

Bendy: Thanks for making the original design for the ...Modern redesign. it looks super rad. As well as some of the other sprites in the resprite.

Chengi: For making the base of the new jumpball and for the new drifting sprites.

Cyron: Thank you for adding I/O support into Modern. I had no idea what i was doing clearly. Also thanks for giving me the JP voices for Sonic as well as a lot of other sfx and making my job so much easier.

Everyone who made Additional Trick poses: MotorRoach, Soap Surfin', CommandoEclipse, Caliginous, SanictheSanic, KíbitoÁyame, KamiJoJo_, HattyBoyo, Universal 22, Frostiikin, and Shine. These look super sweet!

FieryExplosion#3956: Made a decent chunk of the HUD graphics. Thank you! They look rad!

Ordomandalore: Made the grinding frames.

Emi: Did some touch ups to the grinding frames to make them look a bit more natural on minecart rails.

Icezer: Lua help and graphics modifications.

CobaltBW: Thank you for letting me use the wallslide/walljump code you created! It's what i always wanted his walljump to be!

Thank you to the Testers: DrStephen, Rumia, Emi, Zipper, Shine, Inazuma, SMS Alfredo, Bloops, MotorRoach, TrickyTex, GXP3000, Frostiikin, Icezer, LonelyFoxz, and CrystelleCore

AAAND Last but not least
