Gearbox types have been reimplemented to allow for more than just manuals and automatics. These new types have not been worked into the game yet, however we now have 5 additional variables that play into the characteristics of the gearbox based on what type of gearbox you design.
I've also removed "Geared For." (This took me most of the day... So much code intertwined *shudder*) This will be replaced by three or four additional sliders which should give you more control over your gearing and ratings. The Gear Ratio slider will also be replaced by these new sliders.
I've also reorganized the check boxes for additional gearbox features. They are more readable now. I've included a "Reverse" check box which will be default checked. This will remove the ambiguity behind the number of "Gears" as I had previously used reverse gear as one of the gears listed. Now when you choose a gear, it will only be for forward gears.
In other news, I spent some time on the SDL port. I believe I may have fixed the hardware mouse keyboard issue in Linux assuming I can get the SDL window to notify the game what state it's in. Hopefully I can finish and clean it up by Monday night. I can then port it over to 1.18 code base, and we might get a nice lovely 1.17.5 build for everyone's valentine's day. (No guarantees on this date however.)
