More cleanups! Have another beta to find out what's broken this time and stay up to date.

In the 2.6/3.0 beta release 5 i have found a couple bugs that i wish to share to hopefully get them patched, Keep up the good work golden shine! As the effects are banger so far!

I am unsure if you had already found this, But better safe than buggy,
Surface of water causes Sms to pause, Dunno 'bout anything... But I believe its because its switching between the surface and underside of the water because technically their hitbox is in both so it waits(?) for them to slide down.
Which conjures a image of sms splatting on the surface of the water like some sort of insect but thats irrelevant.
EDIT: i wonder if sms will have that sudo chroma effect like S.A.S had...

I have found yet another bug, Though it looks familiar and the same to another, You activate it through Dodging up a slope(?) or maybe dodging onto a surface that stops the dodge from finishing:

I can't tell if this is srb2 or not.. but when using the mod for the latest of sonic robo blast 2. He seems, slower?
is that an srb2 thing or mod related?

Hmm, you mean the water-running with enough speed seems like a bug? That's just...a vanilla SRB2 ability? I don't see an issue, tbh. I got the slope-thing covered, though!

Lot of minor visual touch-ups like that incoming. SMS' 3 flame types(Single Flameshot, CrossFlame, and Diffusion Flame) each have some added effects too to stand out more from one another.

...should I feel bad I'm using most of the performance gains to pour more into effects?

I ment the pause when in-between the surface of the water,
And you shouldn't feel bad because you can just turn off the effects, Right?

AND BEFORE I FORGET,
Could you make it so that you can transform quickly? By either lowering the ring requirement or making the transformation not require stopping-- Or even make it instant! Maybe even both?
Its been a bit annoying when I had to slow down to transform into sms, While yes it would gain me time in the long run; Its a bit of downtime that can get annoying after awhile, With this change it could make it snapier and worth playing other Sonic's.

Yes, you can turn off graphic effects like before. Out of experience alot of players tend to forget options exist when they need them most, though. I guess that's what bothers me.

Had a method in mind? I don't want to break compatibility with mods by using interfering button combinations.

Progress report: Project is moving along very smoothly! Forget about SMSreborn v2.6, this is becoming SMSreborn v3.0 for sure. It'll be the closest thing to a Super Mystic Sonic Reborn-Reborn we'll ever see! There's even more code cleanup(sick of hearing that yet?), many control & QoL improvements, SMS' walljump has been completely revamped, and there's over 200+ new effects sprinkled in because I really had that much performance to spare.

Expect to see SMS ascending to new heights in a couple weeks!

excuse me.
SMSREBORN 3.0????
okay man, you're going too far with this, keep it up tho :)

Here's a public beta for v2-6! I've been doing tons of under-the-hood work improving performance, netgame stability, and updating SMSreborn's 9-years-old Lua framework. That means everything needs intensive retesting to see if it still works as intended!

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...76332165160/CL_SMSreborn-v2-6-PublicBeta3.pk3

HMS' Atom Dive nuke spawns over 200 more extra sprites now, and STILL performs better, even in the game-intensive Hollowed Hill.

We might get more visual flashiness in the final v2-6, or depending on how ambitious I get, even some overhauled/new moves and controls! If it gets that far, expect v2-6 to become v3-0!

Dragon ball Z? is that you?

Here's a small tidbit of SMS' speedy new omni-directional walljumps in action! (Don't mind the debug thok orbs!)

Your input + angle to the wall/object determines which of 6 walljump variations you'll do! There's no more cooldowns ever, and it now accounts for momentum, but repeatedly doing similar jumps now gradually penalizes height gained, so don't turn off your brain!

The revamped walljump meshes better with SMS' speed, and has a higher risk-reward ratio. For merely requiring a quick-tap of spin, it's highly complex and multifaceted. Pull it off right to move about with style and speed! I'll go more in-depth later.

As for HMS? Ahh, he's coming along fine...

nice, this is definitely a good step up from before!
(is the old walljump still gonna be in?)

What do you mean by "Will the old walljump be in?"

Do you mean:
A. An option in the SMSMenu that you can swap out for the new walljump (which isn't likely)
B. The walljump but with zero caveats for overuse
C. An option to use old walljump effects

I don't see any other reason to want the old walljump other than it being slightly more op and infinitely usuable

I don't think something like this is happening considering this update is designed to be a controls overhaul
