Considering that he was playing T1 long ago, probably before TWL even existed....
Well, I appreciate KP/IrritAnt posting either way. But the reason I don't like the walk foward/drop blaster idea, is because I *might* (for a rare occassion), want to use it... and then I'm screwed. THat's why the "option" would be perfect.r00fies said:
However, as he said... they are in the "final stages". So my question is this, are they going to add all those features we all wanted (or even some) like zoom options, etc... later on (after release)?
Considering that KY was the only good server for pubs when I saw limbo showing up, it doesn't really say much at all considering thats where most people play.
And starting all my posts with "Considering" is the cool thing to do.
I can understand that. That's ("down to the wire") the reason I was most worried about... that you guys won't be adding in any of the customization featuers like we have in T1/T2.IrritAnt said:
What about the invo thread or the Reset Zoom thread? What do you guys think of those? ...Or is it too late?
I have a bad habbit of posting something in a negative fassion, if I feel it's been ignored (from before closed beta).
Will there be any additions after release besides the GUI editor?
Yes, as I said to Fal... I know I posted the wrong way. I was(am) just very fustrated that the game won't be as customizable as T1/T2 was. All those little things, like reset zoom, ACTUAL-quick invo (and setting inv before getting to an inv), zoom features (like different FoV per weapon), reticle options (different rets for each weapons; being able to swap them out back and forth/add new ones), etc.
All of those little customizations that T1/T2 allowed, kept me happy.. because I could either avoid annoying keypresses (Auto-Drop Blaster on Spawn), or I could easily zoom in and out (and to the max) without worrying about the next time I zoom in... "is the zoom going to be 20x and piss me off?".
By being a nerd, a course!
People are missing the entire point about why clientside scripting is good. Anyone who's played T1 must have witnessed the power of its scripting. I don't WANT another keybind just for the specific purpose of dropping the blaster. I just want it to drop and me to forget about it. Binding your movement keys is a kludge of Quake-scripting standards at best, and telling someone they have to change ALL their keys (to WASD?) just to accomodate this is ridiculous and evidence of something bigger that needs fixing. Nor do I want to tell the inventory station 20 times a game what loadout I want, but without scripting we have to request it on the forums and hope they make it so. No, it's not going to ruin the game, but he has a point. That said, I can accept the lack of scripting, and certainly telling Irrational they're "fucking up" is not the best way to introduce your feature request.

I believe KP was just using 'W' as an example. You should change the 'W' to whatever key you use to move forward.

That is the Quake-scripting kludge I was talking about. Someone suggested not using the arrow keys, but I can't find it now, anyway, that would better apply to the current shift+key inventory system that I don't think is rebindable at all and is a pain for anyone not using wasd/esdf/etc.

though similar was true back in T1 but nobody used it
(not nearly as powerful as it is in T:V, it was still decent, accurate, and had a high RoF)
