[Suggestion] Swimming

[YALdysse]

Hi, @AltronMaxX.

In the README file, you mentioned that you might like to port the swimming mechanics from SA to VC.

I’ve found a repository where the author has implemented these mechanics for re3.
I decided to share this find with you, as I think you’ll find it interesting.

I managed to build this fork and test how the swimming feature works. At the moment, the falling animation is being used. Despite this, the swimming feature is, in my opinion, implemented quite well.

I’d like to ask you one thing: if you decide to implement this feature in your fork, please make it optional and disabled by default. That way, users who need this feature can enable it in the game settings, just like the free camera.
I don’t think swimming should be enabled by default, as it will negatively affect the gameplay. Those who need it can enable swimming in the settings.

Once you’ve read my message, please let me know what you think.

Here is the build for Linux.

Hi, this is a very interesting find! I ported it into reVC and found one funny thing - Tommy is slowly falling while swimming (I haven't tested how it works in re3, I'm too lazy to download GTA 3 XD). I think this commit is a very good start in implementing the swimming feature, but there are more things to do, such as keeping Tommy exact on water level and borrowing animations from San Andreas.
I've published this in the feature/swimming branch.
Builds are available in actions.

@AltronMaxX, That’s great! Thank you.

I’ve found a chap who seems to have implemented the swimming feature as well. As far as I understand, he’s even managed to add the option to use a different animation.
I’ll leave a link to his commit. You might find it interesting.
Please note: the chap used AI to implement this feature.
