Hi Raul, Quote Hi. I'm sure you mean jump, not run <smile>. End quote
Actually, I think you might be running an older version of the beta. The last private beta had a couple of miner bugs which I fixed in the public beta version of beta 2 just the day of release. One of the things is put run back on alt and jump on control because of it hanging the player when jumping. Check your manual. If it does not say October 5, 2007 as the published date then you have an old version of the beta. Quote when the system menu comes up, the player gets stuck in a sort up-in-the-air mode. I have to press alt by itself which probably closes the menu, then he lands. While he's in this weird elevated more, nothing can really happen, but at the same time, the game play inertia is interrupted. End quote Yep, you have the older beta 2 release. That would probably be the October 3 release which had this stupid jump and hang bug on the alt key. I fixed it before the October 5 release which is current stable. Uninstall October 3 beta 2 and grab the one from my web site which has this correction. Though, the alt key still causes problems for players when running. I'm likely going to simply have to change keystrokes which is the easiest solution. Quote If you want some keyboard suggestions, assuming you don't disable the system menu, how about using the shift for running and the control for jumping End quote That would work, but I also have another idea. How about using the keyboard setup James North used with control for run, and the spacebar key for jump. That worked rather nice. The space key is a nice big key,and it can be used as a modifier if necessary. Using space for jump is not uncommon. Which do you like better shift control combo you suggested or the space and control combo I suggested? Quote This way, If I'm running right, I would hold down shift-right arrow, and if I need to jump, I just tap the control key once while still holding shift-right and I jump while I'm running. Or, if I'm just walking with right arrow, I just press control and I jump right. What do you think? --End quote It would certainly work. I wouldn't have a problem with it. My only hesitation is since shift and control are close together a gamer might accidently press control rather than shift and have the character jump off into a trap of some kind or well find some way to jump to his doom. <Grin> --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
