I think that icon needs a little work. You can see the white pixels around it.

Icon looks fine to me on my desktop..but on the taskbar (smaller) it looks
horrible (not to mention I have to get used to looking for it..I'm used to the green icon or the red galaxy icon I replaced it with) Ryan [View Quote] chianaApr 15, 2003, 9:24am
the AFK icon is darker and does not seem very clear
and when pressing side step you make too bigger movement, making it hard to get in just the right place brockApr 15, 2003, 9:55am
So far the cool icon is the coolest thing i've seen lol.

The movement is actually easier to get used to - I went back to 3.3 and
found it jerkier. But it seems everyone feels different about it, lol Ryan [View Quote] ubermonkeyApr 15, 2003, 11:00am
Personally, I think it's great. I had no trouble adjusting. Then again, I'm
used to lots of fps games. It's been suggested before, but it would be cool to see user-controled movement speeds in 3.5 (perhaps in the form of an addition to avatars.dat allowing the world admins to set different movement options for different avs) [View Quote] bowenApr 15, 2003, 3:42pm

The movement is standard 3.3 movement with just a little timing mechanism to stop you
from bouncing all over in a laggy area. The only movement that's different is flying, which I agree, is too fast. --Bowen-- chianaApr 15, 2003, 3:49pm
small movements arnt the same now it overshoots
maybe it will just take some getting used to :o) bowenApr 15, 2003, 4:02pm

Well, you're talking about flying. The walking and running are the same as they were
in 3.3. Maybe not the turning though. --Bowen-- defianceApr 15, 2003, 5:07pm
I agree with you, it keeps overshooting you, impossible to land on a pole or
to align view with an object. With 3.3 it took me about 2 secs to do that. [View Quote] rossyboyApr 15, 2003, 6:18pm
That overshoot is just a little extra skid they added before you come to a
stop. If you hold down the brake key (5 on the numeric keypad) it doesn't happen :¬) "chiana" <stonkingv8 at hotmail.com> wrote this (news:3e9c3826$1 at server1.Activeworlds.com) in general.discussion on 15 Apr 2003: > small movements arnt the same now it overshoots > maybe it will just take some getting used to :o) > > kfApr 15, 2003, 6:49pm
No, it is caused by the high acceleration - there is no skid when you
just tip barely on the movement key. [View Quote] ryanApr 15, 2003, 8:35pm
User-controlled movement would be good, but should be up to the world owner
whether to allow movement to be changed in the world (i.e. game worlds that involve movement could set a movement rate for that world..) In addition to that, could be fun to have movement slow down through substances (imagines mud flats) Ryan [View Quote] goddess innieApr 15, 2003, 8:43pm
I get a skid even if I tip lightly on the movement key. and the numeric pad
doesnt work on a laptop. (even if i turn numpad on, it doesnt work at all. none of the numbers do what the hot keys say they should....and then i cant type either, LOL) [View Quote] ananasApr 15, 2003, 9:19pm
I nag about that since they changed it and still
did not get used to it :( Exact positioning is impossible above ground. Would be better if it would start much slower and then accelerate. [View Quote] sweApr 15, 2003, 10:42pm
lol, dont bother, ive tried over and over to get that feature implanted,
suggested ways of making it easy to control by world admin, but i had never even got a response! :) -SWE [View Quote] |
