Legacy Version Buoyancy Mod

** THIS IS THE LEGACY VERSION OF THIS MOD!! **

This version contains any old blocks that have now been removed from the official version.

The newest version of the mod includes new physics and adds angular drag for smaller creations (Larger creations are simplified to prevent lag), new textures and models for activators and props, and entirely new fins.

Functional Blocks:

Activators:

Water Activator:
At least one of these must be placed on the creation in order for the Water block to work; if you place more the buoyancy force of the displaced water will increase.

Local Water Activator:
At least one of these must be placed on the creation (or a non-local activator) in order for the Water block to work; if you place more the buoyancy force of the displaced water will increase. This block only applies the force to the main creation and not parts that are connected by bearings.

New Water Activator:
This is a far superior form of the Water activator using new lua functions which allows for far more realism and drag incorporated into the block itself. Meaning no drag blocks needed and all modded blocks work.

New Local Water Activator:
This is a far superior form of the Local Water activator using new lua functions which allows for far more realism and drag incorporated into the block itself. Meaning no drag blocks needed and all modded blocks work.

Drag Blocks:

Drag block:
A block that applies a drag force, as it could not integrated within the water block. Is used to slow creations to prevent bobbing and replicate drag in water.

Relative Drag block:
A block that applies a drag force relative to the mass of the creation. Placing multiple will not increase drag, but rather the total drag is always the same. Place one in each corner to facilitate a balanced craft. This block is used to slow creations to prevent bobbing and replicate drag in water, and is far better than the previous version of the drag block, as such use this block from this update forwards for water creations.


Height Control:

Small Ballast:
A small ballast block that is not buoyant until you connect a switch and turn it on. It voids the chamber of water, making it buoyant. Pushes up the same as one wooden block underwater when activated.

Ballast:
A block that is not buoyant until you connect a switch and turn it on. It voids the chamber of water, making it buoyant. Pushes up the same as 27 wooden blocks underwater when activated.

Misc:

Water Plane:
A water sheet block that makes blocks float, but only if there is a Water activator on the creation. This now also allows the player to swim."

Kill block:
A block that prevents all Buoyancy mod scripts from running in case your world gets unmanageable and begins crashing upon loading. Simply place the block anywhere and all Buoyancy blocks will cease to function. Deleting the block will return function to all Buoyancy mod blocks.
