I actually like first person too. Would it be possible to add an option to let you control it like you would an fps game in that mode? (mouse rotates and aims up/down, keyboard moves foward/back and straffes. With mouselook, it won\'t move your viewpoint around nearly enough, and you have to deselect it to select objects. If a true fps simulator for first person were implemented, I would be satisfied using that mode.

Moog, the planeshift control style is not what he described. In PS, the camera does not follow the player instantly (or at all) based on the view modes. It does start changing to accomade change in directions, but only slowly after a player starts moving foward in the new direction (best case sceneraio using camera modes) In addition, the camera movement is slow and lagged, even with very high sensitivity. The camera should instantly follow a player as he/she moves around and changes directions, and it should be fluid in doing so.

One way to do it would be to have the option to let the keyboard move, and the mouse look.

Autorun makes it so you walk without having to hold foward. What I\'m looking for is an option so that you run by default, and walk only when holding shift instead of the other way arouhd.

General Discussion / Rotating and backpedaling?
« on: January 02, 2005, 09:24:22 pm »
I\'m wondering if there is a way to rotate your character or to backpedal. The left and right keys move my player foward wiht a wide turning circle, while hitting back simply continues this circle 180 degrees. Is there a way to rotate or to walk backwards?

General Discussion / Control system needs work
« on: January 02, 2005, 08:40:25 pm »
I know that this is an alpha release, but I\'d just like to say that changing the control system would be a very important thing to look at. I know that you can customize them in the menu, but there are many limitations. It\'s very hard to look in one direction and move in the other, and being able to adjust the view and the movement independently. I\'d greatly prefer a system such as in other mmorpgs, or fps games, neither of which is able to be set using the existing customization settings.

Also, is there a way to disable the mouse camera delay? I\'ve tried fiddling with teh many camera settings, but I can\'t get the mouse to react in a timely manner. Also, is there an always run setting that I\'ve missed? That would help too. (not autorun)

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game /

Thank you very much, that did the trick!! You were also very helpful on irc. :)

I downloaded and installed the game successfullly, and registered an account. I then tried to log in, finding my installation out of date. I then used the updator to update the game. Instead, it retrieved a new version of the updater, and requested a restart. Here\'s where the problem starts. I restart it, and it looks like this:

However, everythign still works. If I click where the update button should be, it updates, or if I use the --update command from the cmd prompt. (neat trick someone showed me on irc) Even though it updates successfully, after the update if I run the game, I get the same problem. The background image and text boxes are there, but I\'m working blind with no text. The textless octagon on the bottom left of the screen quits.  If I do a blind login (assuming I\'m doing it right) it waits a while, then get a big box that says \"ok\"

What\'s going on??

I\'ve tried reinstalling it, with the same results.
