gravity affects jump jets

GravityMatters

This mod allows weapon range and jump jet range and heat to be affected by either the biome (lunar or martian only), or by the planet_size_xxxxx planet/starsystem tags. Fully compatible with, but does not depend on MechEngineer. Jump heat is calculated by the distance jumped. By default, this mod multiplies jump heat by 1/JumpOverride so that the additional jump distance from the biome/low gravity does not also generate more heat; nor does decreased jump distance (in the case of high gravity planets) generate less heat.

Currently, the following settings are customizable in the mod.json;

	"Settings": {
			"UsePlanetGravityTags": true,
			"BuffWeaponRange": true,
			"BuffAllRangeBrackets": true,
			"LetGravityAffectEnergyWeps": false,
			
			"LunarJumpOverride": 1.3,
			"MartianJumpOverride": 1.15,
			"lowgravJumpOverride": 1.2,
			"highgravJumpOverride": 0.8,
			
			"LunarWeaponOverride": 1.2,
			"MartianWeaponOverride": 1.2,
			"lowgravWeaponOverride": 1.2,
			"highgravWeaponOverride": 0.8,
			
			"JumpHeatOverrideFlag": false,
			"JumpHeatOverrideMultiplier": 0.8
			},

UsePlanetGravityTags - bool, switches whether changes to jumpjets and weapons look for biomes or planet tags.

BuffWeaponRange - bool, switches whether weapon range is affected by gravity/biome.

BuffAllRangeBrackets - bool, switches whether all weapon range brackets are affected by gravity/biome, rather than simply altering the max range.

LetGravityAffectEnergyWeps - bool, switches whether planet gravity affects the range of energy weapons. Unused if UsePlanetGravityTags: false.

LunarJumpOverride - float, multiplier for jump distance on lunar maps if UsePlanetGravityTags: false.

MartianJumpOverride - float, multiplier for jump distance on martian if UsePlanetGravityTags: false.

lowgravJumpOverride - float, multiplier for jump distance on planets with planet_size_small tag if UsePlanetGravityTags: true.

highgravJumpOverride - float, multiplier for jump distance on planets with planet_size_large tag if UsePlanetGravityTags: true.

LunarWeaponOverride - float, multiplier for weapon range on lunar maps if UsePlanetGravityTags: false.

MartianWeaponOverride - float, multiplier for weapon range on martian if UsePlanetGravityTags: false.

lowgravWeaponOverride - float, multiplier for weapon range on planets with planet_size_small tag if UsePlanetGravityTags: true.

highgravWeaponOverride - float, multiplier for weapon range on planets with planet_size_large tag if UsePlanetGravityTags: true.

JumpHeatOverrideFlag - bool, switch for whether jump heat generation is overriden and manually specified.

JumpHeatOverrideMultiplier - float, multiplier for jump heat generation. Set to 1 and set JumpHeatOverrideFlag for vanilla jump heat calculation (more distance=more heat).
