Note to self: Be sure that swimming in bursts provides the same rate of progress as smooth swimming. Existing maps shouldn't suffer from having to take longer to reach a goal, since some might have made the goal _just_ reachable with smooth swimming. |

Yes, definitely. Also, including some kind of movement sound to the 'bursts', like the sound of moving through the water, might be a nice touch. |

Changing the "swim" movement sound in the player.def doesn't seem to do anything. Assuming that "swimming" is actually a form of flying: "editor_float fly_offset" "Prefered fly height relative to the player's view" "editor_float fly_speed" "Speed to fly at." "editor_float fly_bob_strength" "How far flying creatures should bob." "editor_float fly_bob_vert" "Rate at which flying creatures bob up and down." "editor_float fly_bob_horz" "Rate at which flying creatures bob left and right." |

Maybe the speed doesn't need to come in bursts, but showing the arms might be a nice touch: https://youtu.be/BvIlO6pKA6Y?t=12m48s |

Rev. 7960 adds a subtle additive modulation of swimming speed. The degree and frequency of modulation can be altered via cvars: cv_pm_swimspeed_variation cv_pm_swimspeed_frequency Speed is modulated by adding a function consisting of these phases: 1) Sinosodial lead-in 2) max-speed plateau 3) Sinosodial lead-out In my tests, this yielded quite a good "swimming" feeling. Average speed is maintained (compared to disabled speed modulation) via an additive constant offset. TODO: Check if we have any suitable sounds to play during every burst. |

Rev. 7961 now plays a sound during each burst. Content creators, please note the follow-up issue 0004992 for providing appropriate sounds. Everything related to sound should be discussed there. In this tracker issue, please give feedback on the swimming animation. I have commited binaries for testing to the assets trunk, rev. 15628. |

I like it. Good job. |

Wow, this feels really good! |
