In Response To: Re: Worst Level EVER! (C Lund)

: Yeah, the bugs were my main gripe with Fell. The levels ranged from ok (the
: early ones) to very good (the later ones). But having to reboot my mac
: every time my view crossed a vertex lineup got old real fast. The fact
: that I played through it *despite* the bugs (and once again when v 2.0 was
: released) shows how much I liked the maps themselves. (I usually trashed a
: map that crashed my mac more than 2-3 times.) But AO isn't affected by
: those bugs, so maybe I should try playing it again - but only after AO's
: mouse handling is fixed (I'm not the only one who thinks the mouse in AO
: is a pain to use, am I?).

AO does help a lot, but those sticky polys are still a major problem. Ben needs to rework some of those acute angles that are likely the cause, and he needs to deal with some bouncy polys as well.

As far as the mouse is concerned, I found the perfect strategy some time ago. I used to be a mouser and will admit that you can respond much more quickly with the mouse, but the keyboard gives me much greater control. I abandoned the mouse when I started playing Rubicon under the Classic Environment in OS X 10.0 (the mouse was completely broken back then), and would never go back - it has made me a much better player. Would I return to the mouse if all the issues were fixed? Well, there would have to be a way to disable the return to level with walking feature in the game engine, but if everything were fixed and I had to face you in netplay, I might have no choice!
