Title: Tips
Post by: BlisteringBunZ on August 14, 2003, 05:37:57 pm

The movement of the game doesnt seem too good. plz dont take this personally. the mouse should be used.
heres my tips for what it SHOULD be:

left arrow=strafe left
right arrow=strafe right
up arrow=move forward
down arrow=move backwards

move mouse forward=look up
move mouse backwards=look down
move mouse left=look left
move mouse right=look right
(it should also be possible to invert controls-up is down and down is up)

also a cross or pointer of some sort would be good to see where ur aiming

using page up and page down is a very bad idea for looking up and down. ive played a game where it does that and its pretty annoying when u want to look up.


if u dont want to do that because maybe u dont like it like that well u should set it so u the players choose which button does what for there own personal preference

First of all, you are free to edit the keys so that they may follow your taste. Secondly, I dont think that the controls are bad. Third, there is a pointer, it looks like an arrow. You know, similar to the one you use in Windows.

Fourth, after a day of pointing and clicking I prefer to use the keyboard and ease my wrist.

i think the mouse controls are like that. but freelook is off because u can\'t select things during freel look. use \\ to turn it on and off.

just like in planetside. :) (except in planetside you had to press ENTER to bring up the mouse, but there were keyboard shortcuts to things like inventory and stuff so you didn\'t have to press ENTER all the time. ;) )

you can select things in mouselook mode. when the box comes up saying \"Ruby Crystal\", rightclick.

you get used to the controls - i only use mouselook very occasionally now

i would like to see eq\'s type where mouse look was triggered by holding right click its really easy no messing with pointers, and no toggleing \"z\" and \"a\" tog et the right fix

There is a file called keys. Use notepad.

Title: Adding options ingame
Post by: Jagua on August 19, 2003, 07:47:17 am

I would love to see options added to the \"O Bubble\" onscreen.

The option I can think of is \"screensize\" as well as sizes for the chat window and all other windows that block the scenery!

Thanks!
