Free Allegiance Forums

QUOTE (notjarvis @ Aug 31 2010, 11:12 AM) I agree totally, and said much the same thing further up. I was just saying that (IMO) it shouldn't be the be all and end all of dev. communication. Ah, true. QUOTE (notjarvis @ Aug 31 2010, 11:12 AM) We have several open dev. forums if something needs to b...

IRC is almost mandatory for long distance development, when someone is testing a bug for a dev (something I've done 2 or 3 times), they *cannot* do this via the forums, some bugs take 4-5 hours and maybe 100-200 replies to each other to resolve, doing this on a forum is an insane idea (a week? 2?). ...

to take barricudas point further, its well known that allegiance has space drag, if you have space drag, what are you gonna need? space wings. QED.

actually, theres no reason the game can't just remember how far the mouse has moved, rather than where the cursor is, otherwise fps games would get stuck if you turned right too often without turning left to recenter the cursor :D , in other words mice have no max distance. physically, the differenc...

basically, you can have exactly that, part of a quadratic curve looks identical to the whole thing, except smaller, the only thing is that if you want the max turn rate to be a known quantity (e.g. half), you will have to experiment to find where half is (or look up the algorithm, i cant help there ...
