Rocket Belt

Description
Is all that jumping around starting to get tiring? Do you frequently wonder what's at the top of impossibly high ledges?

Or do you simply want to escape from the ground for a while and soar through the skies, without having to care about things like bottomless pits?

If your answer to any of those questions was yes, then perhaps you'd be interested in the Rocket Belt!

With two state-of-the-art jet boosters and an endless supply of fuel, you'll never have to worry about not being able to cross a gap again!

It's pretty quick too, so if you need to get from one place to another in a hurry, all you gotta do is fly.


Alright, now that the advertising bit is out of the way, I should probably actually describe the mod...

So, you may be wondering how exactly a jetpack would work in this game, and I plan to explain it all to you right now! So let's get started...


First, and most importantly, is Flight Mode. Flight Mode is where you'll be spending most of your time, as it's the main way of flying.

Flight Mode is pretty easy to understand, holding forwards will make you fly forwards, and vice versa. You can also turn slightly while at full speed in order to change your trajectory.

If you're not holding any direction, you'll start ascending rapidly. You can tap the button in order to keep your altitude relatively still, but Hover Mode would probably be better for that. Speaking of...


Hover Mode can be toggled at any point while you're in the air, and can act as a quick stop if you ever need it.

You can use this to turn at the same rate as ascending in Flight Mode, except you'll be kept in place. Alternatively, you can use this as a way to look around to find a new destination.

It's also pretty good for screenshots, mainly due to the fact that it keeps you completely still.


Wanna go faster, though? The newly added Turbo Mode would be perfect for you!

Turbo Mode can be toggled at any point, and is recognized by the orange flames that appear, instead of the normal blue color. It provides a pretty big speed increase, so make sure you have a lot of open space around you.

Also, quick warning, the engines tend to overheat quickly...


The last mode is Falling Mode. This is simply what happens when you leave Flight Mode or Hover Mode and you start dropping back down to the ground.

There's not really much to this, honestly. Though, I'd strongly suggest using Flight or Hover Mode to slow down your descent once you start approaching the ground...

...Unless you've overheated the engines. In that case, you better hope for a soft landing!


Also, quick note: I can't guarantee that this'll work properly for playables that don't use Hat Kid's skeleton and animations. The ability itself may still work, but it'll be completely broken visually.


And of course, credits...

It's definitely a bug, and it seems a lot of other people have it too.

I did some digging and it seems the method this mod uses to give you the ability only works if the mod was already installed when you loaded your save file. So, for anyone who installs this mod mid-game, try returning to the main menu or restarting the game, and reload your save.

I'll see if we can change this to a more *traditional* way of making available-instantly hats (and possibly fix the steam tags in the process).

I can't see the rocket belt and I have 5 hats, 1 modded, 4 vanilla, is this a bug?

He doesn't show new hat ):

Keep in mind, the hat wheel does have a max amount of items it can show. There's a mod on the workshop that does add multiple tabs to the hat wheel; either way, it should always be available via the hat slot in the pause menu.

Doesn't show up in my hat wheel :(

I'm not sure what to tell all of you. The mod is functional on our ends. The jetpack should be immediately available in your hat wheel.

I can't figure out how to activate it. I checked the hats, inventory, and mod menu.
