Rotating Grid Sliding Fix

Description
This mod is currently not working on the latest update
The warfare update screwed this up somehow, and I can't figure out how to fix it. If you think you can and for some reason you like this mod enough to want to try, go ahead.


This is a fix for the bug where players will slide across grids that are rotating when using mag boots. It's not a perfect fix by any means, the sliding behavior is not entirely predictable so you may still notice a tiny amount sometimes.

This is mainly meant for building rotating stations or ships for realistic artificial gravity. As such, it works best with a constant angular velocity and when the floor is facing towards the center of rotation. It definitely still helps in other cases, but it's less effective.

Also consider checking out my other mod, which adds conservation of angular momentum to players:

Let me know if you have any problems or suggestions!

This mod makes walking on planet experience way worse. When you are walking you feel like glitching to ground.

Hey mate,

I think I might have figured out what's messin' with this mod.

Whenever I use this, the angular dampening mod ceases to work. looks like this somehow conflicts with the angular momentum mod. Like, they need to both operate at the same time. That might be what causes the bouncing and all that?

Welp, Keen didn't fixed the issue for recent days. Maybe it's time to get some filth on hands and find a fix to issue? :)

@Jamac @CrimsonPanda

Thank you, I appreciate both your efforts. Its good to know that Keen is aware of the problem now.
All thats left is to keep our fingers crossed.

No worries man your mod was incredible while it lasted. Thanks for adding to the bug report also. It would appear my understanding of the issue was quite primitive 😂. Hopefully with that info they can find and implement a permanent fix.

I did some experimenting the other day to try and fix that weird bouncing issue, to no avail. I think I'm going to just abandon this mod and hope for a bug-fix from keen.

I've actually made a bug report on the kenswh website and I get the impression nobody has reported it before. https://support.keenswh.com/spaceengineers/pc/topic/rotating-grid-sliding
I've been just too busy with life to look into it myself but it sounds like we might be able to hope for an in-game fix.

@Jamac @CrimsonPanda So i've seen the update to your description, does this mean a permanent hiatus or has any progress been made?

I actually asked Xocliw about this recently but i'm not sure he understood how I was trying to explain it.

Ah no worries. I'll see if i can poke around a bit and find the issue also got exams coming up though. 😂

@CrimsonPanda @Haven Alright, thanks for the heads up, I'll see if I can fix it. But it will probably have to wait a bit, cause I have finals coming up.
