Ok Some People May Think Double Tap Swooping Is Good But I Don't Like It So Heres A Poll
Doesn't it make more sense to assume that up would make you go forward, and jump would make you go up?!XxShAdOwxX! said:I'm I right to assume that double tapping up will make you go straight up?
Tapping it one more time can't hurt that much! Wow, he can tap w an extra time with one button! Not much difference between the two. Plus he'd have to bind one button per direction. I is probably not worth the time in the end.Pain said:i can bash getting rammed in the ass even though i havent tried it. there goes your whole argument.
double tap = bad
for one... you can script that... so u have to tap once.. leaving the normal players at a disadvantage.
and those who cant mash a button twice quickly will also be at a disadvantage.
I don't know what I was thinking thereHash said:Doesn't it make more sense to assume that up would make you go forward, and jump would make you go up?
for the laggers out there, (we all know how the esf team loves to help out those with horrible pings) double tap is VERY bad.!XxShAdOwxX! said:Tapping it one more time can't hurt that much!

I'm not even going to comment on that onePain said:i can bash getting rammed in the ass even though i havent tried it. there goes your whole argument.
Okay, let's get something strait... To do a double tap swoop you press a direction, let go, then hold ON to the direction again to swoop. Now, how the hell would someone script that to THEIR advantage? When a script is running does it even pick up the commands of the user? Even if it does, how will that give you an advantage? So you can't control how long you want to swoop?Pain said:double tap = bad

So now double tapping somehow relates with button smashing? This isn't some type of "powerstruggle to swoop somewhere" contest, it's just a innovative way to implement swoop so you can use in and out of melee.Pain said:and those who cant mash a button twice quickly will also be at a disadvantage.

And I'm sure you're basing this with some valid evidence. I mean, you just CAN'T be judging on what masta said in the interview (like 5-10 seconds) ^_^ I'm sure you've seen seen it in action or played it yourselfPain said:you dont need a button for each direction either.
simply make a bind that turns on and off your whatever keys from regular movement to the scripted double-tap. easy to do with aliases. all i have to do is tap that key once and than i can swoop wherever i want with one press. to turn it off press the button again, thereby making a "swoop-mode".
hell come to think of it, a swoop mode would work fine....... helluva lot better than double tap.
actualy i was hinting at 1.1 ki system. we all know what a jewel that turned out to be. :yes: you know with the entire.. aiming away from PING based melee... had nothing to do with ping.. of course not. /end sarcasm.Pcjoe said:[Sarcastic]
Yeah, we just love helping those people with horrible pings. Yaknow, the ESF team isn't building the melee system around higher pings, we're not optimising the net code/reducing the amount of messages sent, we're just letting them bend over and take it in the ass. At the most we'll give them some lubrication.
And yeah, Masta can second how bad it is. He plays on my server with 500-700 ping while I download anime, and it's horrible. He can't melee, swoop, or anything. After we test he tells me to keep on working on the system and ignore the sucky ping.
[/Sarcastic]
actualy yes, believe it or not there are other mods that use the same engine. some of these use double tap for various things and it becomes a chore if you have high ping, or are not so fast at mashing that button. Granted my experiance isnt with this mod but meh.Pcjoe said:And I'm sure you're basing this with some valid evidence.

your willingness to change it is reasuring... hopefully it wont take forever like some things.... >_<Pcjoe said:On a serious note... I would find that more annoying. It would add yet another button, and I would find it extremly aggrivating to be constantly turning this "swoop mode" on and off. I tap left, i go flying left, i tap right, i go flying right. As it is you don't "accidently" swoop that easily, since you need to hold onto the button on the second click.
And like usual, if it sucks that bad we'll replace it with yet another swoop mode, it's still all WIP.
