Title: new gfx or nething?
Post by: Zaku on September 16, 2006, 03:44:58 pm
not to be picky, i liek this game, but

is the gfx gonna change or be better later on?

is the look of the movement of characters gonna change? it looks like cheesy... 

will there be a choice of moving with ur mouse(like click where u wanna go) later on?   if not, pleeeeeeeeease implement that!!! it should be where u just have to hold ur mouse down and travel-not having to click on a place then a place ahead of it whenever u wanna travel. u know wat i mean?

also, how many people are on at a time in ps?

Concerning movement there was a pretty good thread(Player Movement (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24702.0)) which hopefully, if you read it through, wlll yield the answers and explanations you're looking for. Otherwise, state your idea in this thread.

Movement system from your dreems is already in game and was there since very long time.

Considering that this game is only at version 0.3, it is safe to assume that the look of the game will only improve. When we hit 1.0 it could very well look like another game entirely when it comes to quality :]

The server is usually populated with 100-150 players, sometimes topping 200.

Keep in mind that this game is built entirely by volunteers - we make no profit from it, and we have real jobs and real lives that come before development (usually :P), and we're not necessarily professionals. It's a learning experience, for artists especially. The game has improved drastically from the first 3D version, Atomic Blue, and it will only continue to go up.

i apoligize, i didnt know it was there already.  and keep in mind u didnt have to read my thread, so im not wasting ur time, not to be rude.also, my thread wasnt only about movement of characters.  i was talking aobut other stuff, like the graphics, and the avg number of people on.

oh thats good.  cant wait till it comes out! yes, i know its a nonprofit game. this is a very very well made game, especially for a nonprofit game.

*edit*

but seriously i still think there should atleast be a choice of moving with the mouse, like in knight online.

For mouserun, you want -
Options -> Controls -> Keys

Camera
     Mouse Run

Click "set"

I recommend something like ctrl+leftclick, and not the click itself, otherwise it will get in the way of targeting npcs, etc.
