Name restitution "Bounciness" again?
Jupp jupp.. people who speak other languages than english might understand bounciness better than restitution.
Is it possible to change the names back the way it was?

Restitution is the correct term.

What bounciness would be more User friendly to those that are not english (You may say "change the language" but they may not be able to read the menu's TO change it XD. Completely irrelevant. But, i like the idea :-) except for scripting, that would make it annoying.

How about "Bounciness" when you set Phun to simple or Normal, but set to advanced... "Restitution"

ioncann0ns: Not a bad idea.
But the thing is, if you're not an English native you're going to be setting Phun to your language, so your suggestion is pretty useless. Unless Phun's not in your native language.

I kinda meant it as a general rule.
I am sure English is not the only language with that uses a common term rather than a technical term to describe an object's property.
