Our original plan was to combine fuel types with valvetrains. However when I started working on this stuff this morning, I noticed that the list could grow rather large if I include all the different variations of valvetrain systems. On top of this every ICE fuel can be used with most forms of valvetrains systems.
So instead I implemented valvetrain as its own sub component of the engine. Not only do we now have valvetrains, but different configurations there of. We have moved 2 stroke fuel type to valvetrains system thus allowing you to have 2-stroke diesel engines for instance. I believe with the redesign of the sub-component selection GUI that I have planned, we won't be adding in any additional complexity to the system while providing even more customization and difference to the game.
Valvetrains are limited to engine layout. Which means the soon to be reimplemented electric and wankles won't be effected.
Drivetrains have been rebalanced, FF, MF, RMR, RR, F4, M4, and R4 have all received a boost. Specially the 4 wheel drive variants and FMR. FR has been nerfed, and if you're weird enough to use RF, it remains the same.
I've also added in an engine smoothness/comfort rating to engines, layouts, cylinders, fuel, and valves. These will play into a vehicles luxury and comfort ratings due to vibration and noise factors.
I still have to create the GUI for the engine smoothness, as well as generate the ratings. I also have to add in the valvetrain effects to the ratings and add text to the about and anytime fuel type is mentioned, but this is a much simpler process than what I have done all day today.
I'll finish up the final bits to the smoothness and valvetrain code next. Should be done by tomorrow afternoon. Then I'll look at adjust/balancing fuel types and adding/balancing to the induction systems. Saturday-Monday will mostly be SDL2 implementation in Linux, although I will probably get a few hours in the late night to work on 1.18.
