Street Legal: Revision

Random bodykit discounts

• Custom bodywork will randomly be discounted at auto shops!
  
• The discount is typically -25%, with some exceptions. The discounts make the prices similar to stock equivalents.
  
• Discounts are applied per bodykit (same grouping as for coloring).
  
• Discount RNG is re-rolled every couple races won.
  
• Value of purchased discounted parts is permanently reduced - this means you can't sell them for profit, but repairs will be cheaper.
  
• Why only bodykits? Because discounting these doesn't screw with career balance, as performance characteristics of these parts are largely identical to stock.
  

Exhaust & related

• Added dual exhaust variant for Zed. This will come by default with supercharged cars featuring the dual header.
  
• Added another variant of rear bumper 3, with dual exhaust cutouts.
  
• Improved surface normals for several stock exhaust pipes.
  
• Fixed several cases of dual exhaust asymmetry.
  
• Fixed Furrano exhaust clipping into wheel wells.
  
• Disabled SL2 exhaust tip N2O particle effect (style consistency).
  
• For modders & creative cheaters: SL2 exhaust tips can now be attached to stock SL1 exhausts. Use the new garage cheat "NOISEBOMB" to allow them to show up in the Catalog for SL1 cars; You'll then want to use the "PEGAWRENCH" cheat to move them into better-looking positions, as clearly the stock pipes weren't designed for this :D
  For context, these normally-hidden parts are shipped with the game for use by imported SL2 cars (see car_convert folder).
  

Options

• Added options to set preferred garage & driving camera modes (first person/classic, first person/hood/bumper/chase);
  You'll be automatically switched to the chosen camera / interaction mode upon entering the relevant section! You can also leave these as "NONE", retaining current behavior.
  
• Moved various scattered options to a new "CAMERA & FIRST PERSON" category.
  
• Various reorganization & renaming. If any option/bind appears to be missing, it has simply been moved.

• Fixed a stability issue related to having the opponent marked on the nav.

• Individually fine-tuned butterfly doors for all cars! Suicide doors for Coyot rear!
  
• Exclusively available at auto shops, sometimes used by opponents, too.

• Unique envmaps for all shops.

• Reduced deceleration jitter.
  
• Improved player hull physics - less keen to climb stuff (like pushed cars).
  
• More weighty movement.
  
• Standing on toes is now a toggle that requires both pressing and releasing shift while standing still.
  This keeps the obscure movement feature from briefly flicking the view up upon pressing shift to run slightly ahead of the movement keys.
  

• Better envmaps for garages and car lot.
  
• Catalog now requires Painter->Decal mode to be selected to auto-open to decals, not just active Painter.
  
• Increased deformation for lightweight traffic car variants - at the low mass, the forces involved are greatly reduced, so they were barely deforming.
  
• Reduced engine power of lightweight traffic cars.
  

• Increased loss/caught wear penalties applied by Junkman mode, but added a 40% chance of any given part being unaffected. This makes for more interesting of a dice roll.
  
• No Race Setup show delay if both racers are honking at each other.
  
• Eliminated loading screen show/hide stutter - leaving loading screens enabled no longer slows section changes.
  

• Wheel repair (tyre replacement) now has a fixed minimum price, with additional cost depending on rim damage from impacts - repair at 15% condition or below will end up cheaper than before the update, while redundantly replacing good condition tyres will eat your cash very quickly.
  Besides added immersion, a goal of this change is to reward taking risks continuing to race with worn tyres, as means to minimize maintenance costs.
  
• Similar concept applies to brake and spring repairs.
  
• Different formatting for reverse gear ratio readout inside CarInfo, making transmission data a little easier to read.

• RPM limit indicator now indicates the full operational range of the engine: Idle to limit!
  
• Adjusted starting points of HP & torque graphs.

• No more trash wheel radius values shown for missing wheels.
  
• Added color-coded highlighting of specs that have changed since last viewing.
  This can be disabled in the options.
  
• Patch for inaccurate ground clearance values. The detection is still not perfect, and the patch only applies to vanilla cars. We hope to deliver a proper fix in a later update.
  

• Fixed subpar performance of the "12%" V8 scoop.
  
• Renamed the V8 scoop compression percentages to match simulated values.
  
• Increased aero drag reduction from front bumpers, reduced the effect from rear bumpers.
  
• Better Catalog previews for most parts - you can actually see what you're buying now!
  
• Updated credits.

• Includes: Race wins, best win streak, cash/cars won, cash spent on tow, parts & repairs, wear paid (Junkman), income from selling parts, total miles driven, and avg. winnings per mile, avg. operational cost per mile & miles per pink (Junkman).
  
• Not all these stats were tracked before the update - expect missing data for existing careers!
  

• A new V6 supercharger, exclusively available at shop #2!
  
• Delivering peak power between 7.5K and 10K RPM, dangerously close to destruction point, the new supercharger makes for a thrilling ride, completely changing the character of the forgivingly torquey, ever-reliable SL1 V6!
  
• Rarely used by opponents if the RANDOPP mutator is enabled.
  

• Fixed parts with attachments removed using the MONKEYWRENCH cheat appearing in the inventory with the attachments invisible.
  
• Longer reach in first person mode.
  
• Added 'Repair All' function, repairing all unfiltered parts in inventory.
  
• Fixed slightly inaccurate value calculation for the 'Sell All' function.
  

• Added Steam achievement for completing a career with the new ACE mutator.
  
• "ACE!" is now announced on 5th consecutive race win, regardless of the mutator.
  
• Reduced max airflow of stock V6 air filter.
  
• Unique dialogue when honked-at opponent is of lower rank than yours.
  After all, you're only challenging for cash & prestige, not for position.
