i [WIP] API to modify wind behaviors and blacklist

a day ago

Title, I see you have the option to add to the blacklist before it's applied, but no way to remove something. As well, there's no apparent way to change how the wind affects a given entity without making direct edits to the script.

At risk of sounding like I’m making excuses: This was an originally planned feature for Rubia. I am still interested in adding this API. I have not done so because 1) no one every expressed interest, 2) side tracked with other features and mod compat, 3) I’ve had a lot less time for modding when this API would cost a fair bit of time.

To be clear, if/when this API comes out, I would need to properly make it feature complete, documented, tested, with flavor text, and other features. While it would be easier to make an API to just remove wind behaviors, I would want to make an API that lets you modify them as well. I would not do the simpler way, because it risks breaking other people’s mods during a later upgrade. That is the dream. What I have right now is an incomplete feature buried in the code, and not communicated well because I never had time to flesh it out.

I’d also like to do a similar thing with the trashteroid immunity blacklist (I can’t tell if your post only refers to wind and surface blacklist). This one is easier, but fewer people would care.

Now that you’ve asked, I can justify putting time to it, but know that it will take me a while. This won’t be one of my typical 24 hour turnaround requests.
