Degrees per frame, converted to radians as it is read. A piece is given one tumbling rate for the whole of its life, drawn once when it is created from the range this setting closes and MinAngularVelocity opens.

A value of exactly 0 is discarded rather than stored: the conversion is skipped and the rate already held stands, which for a type no earlier file touched is ten degrees per frame. Every other value, negative ones included, is taken as written.

The pick is quantized in whole radians

The range is measured after the conversion to radians, and the pick that spans it moves in whole radians. A range narrower than about 57 degrees therefore always yields the minimum and this setting changes nothing at all; a wider range adds whole radians — about 57 degrees per frame apiece — as the only alternatives to it.

A maximum below the minimum usually crashes the game

The divisor the pick uses is the truncated whole number of radians in the range, plus one. A maximum below the minimum by less than about 114 degrees makes that divisor zero, the division faults, and the game stops the moment a piece of the type is created. Leaving this setting out of a section that writes a minimum reaches the same fault, because an unwritten maximum is minus one degree per frame.
