No Player Angular Damping

Description
This mod adds conservation of angular momentum to the player character. When you jump or fall off of a rotating surface, you will continue to rotate with the same angular velocity. Landing on a surface or turning on your jetpack will cancel your angular velocity.

I wanted to create this mod specifically for the use case of a rotating artificial gravity ring, which you can see in the demo video. If you think spin gravity is cool (you should, it's really cool), check out my other mod here:

Inspired by KK91's No Grid Angular Damping, which does the same thing for grids:

Let me know if you have any problems or suggestions!

@TwinIndifferent I'm not sure if that's possible, I've never looked into that but my gut feeling is that it's probably not. What I do is edit my world file and increase the gravity falloff for all the planets so that the gravity ends way closer to the planet. If you are playing with Real Orbits, I would recommend this mod instead, since it just ignores the in-game gravity value and calculates it itself.

Is it possible to disable player from always facing the planet when influenced by it's gravity until he touches it?

A real must have for my no-gravgen full orbit survival, thanks!

Also for @Doctor Verum, just put some gravgens on minimal attraction on walking surfaces.

Amazing, finally realistic rotational gravity rings. If only there was a way to not be forced to use mag boots for it...

Great mod!
