Re: 0.4.0

I like that you have taken steps to make movement more balanced, really didn´t like that hook acceleration were so important before. Jumping feels a bit slow now when everything else is so fast, but maybe I'll think that is a good thing once I've gotten used to it.

However, the game feels a little too fast now. It already was before, but it's more clear now when even beginners can move fast so now I notice.

As a beginner, I really appreciated that you could always see what happened when you got killed, with the stars and such. Things were slower when almost everyone were a beginner though, and now things are so fast that it takes skill to see. You need to know where to look to have time to see that you killed someone with a chance-shot and such.

Thus I think it would be good for the game to be slowed down just a little. And I mean everything at once, so that the balance isn't changed at all. I think that would both make the game nicer for beginners and restore some of the much-missed sense of calm when playing.

edit: Or well, it would change the balance in the sence that it would be easier to aim, but I think most people would welcome that change. I would.

Other than that, I like this version so far. Cred for fixing the cursor issue.

Re: 0.4.0

or maybe have a choice for the server, fast or slow? or even a game speed from 1-10?

I don't know if anyone read my last post, but i still think it would be good to have arrows pointing in the flag-carriers direction.. big_smile

Re: 0.4.0

Nice post, as I was on a March break trip, I was away and most of this was a suprise to me. It does feel a bit fast now that you mention and I don't know if I should place this somewhere else, but I have a few bugs(?) :

When tees jump, feet become darker.

I wouldn't call this a bug, but the ninja skin is used when a katana is obtained, maybe instead of such a dramatic transition use something like spawn smoke to transition in and out of the skin. Or even use a fade technique.

No, that is not me; it's just a figment of your imagination.

Re: 0.4.0

Contrary to some other comments, I like the new graphics. However, I think that it is dumb that one can no longer go very fast with the 'nade like one could in 3.x. If you fixed this in 4.2, the races and large maps like ctf2 would be a lot more enjoyable.

I need to figure out something to put here.
