Better Bouncy Ball

Better Bouncy Ball (BBB) improves the default Garry's Mod bouncy ball with more spawn color variations, more customizability, and better audio.

More color variations have been added for when a ball is spawned, and includes a gray variant, though it's not rare. The minimum and maximum supported sizes are now a larger range. You can also modify its bounciness, the sound it makes, the amount it heals you when you eat it, and whether to allow overhealing.

The audio has been improved as well. It uses a new calculation method for the pitch of the ball's bouncing sound, and its volume is now dependent on the ball's size. The bouncing sound can also play more frequently now.

Overhealing prevention when eating the bouncy ball is done properly as well. It preserves your health if it's out of the 0-100 range. Having health over your maximum health (usually 100) won't let you eat the ball, and health under 0 won't bring it up to 0. It makes me wonder why most people don't do it this way, and instead always try to clamp your health.

• More colors when spawned, including a gray variant.
  
• Less restricted size limits.
  
• More settings, such as the amount it heals, the sound it makes, overhealing prevention, etc.

• Bounce sounds can play more often.
  
• New bounce sound pitch calculation.
  
• Bounce volume depends on the ball's size.
  
• Pitch variation properly scales with the ball's size.
  
• Proper overhealing prevention that doesn't ruin your health when it's under 0 or over your max health (needs the "Allow Overhealing" setting turned off).
