I really don't mean to hijack this further. But wouldn't it be cool if they brought back the woundering sheep flocks. and then required you to destroy the sheep to take a base. Not destroying them would cuase all the troops to run to the sheep rather then the map room 8).

Sorry couldn't resist.

Kev, the changes (aside from mouse pushers...and whoever knew there were so many) aren't all that drastic. Yeah, there's a number of issues to be worked out but that was the case when we made the jump from I to II.

I suspect some of the changes are relative to the release of TOD. Give it a few days to get ironed out. The fact is that HT & Co have more than a few years experience at this under their belt and hoefullyall will be for the better.

Well at this point Thanks HTC

Click the 'Advanced' box.

I think labeling it "Scaling" would have made it too easy for players to open the magic door, revealing the secret passageway to capture bonus lives on the way to Mystical Level III of deciphering the Cryptic Mapping Code (CMC) in AHQuest. :eek:

[hijack] Okay, we have a sheep texture, and we have a functional AI model. Why the hell don't we have AI sheep already? I don't give a crap about CT; I want sheep that fight back. Daddy likes the rough n tumble, if ya know what I mean. ;)

2. You will not be able to map 2 functions to one button.


I gotta say... I am NOT a fan of this one.  Especially since we had this capability before.

I used to have such a nice simple set up... In 2.07 I had my WEP and Vehicle engine start/stop mapped to the same button on my stick now I can’t...

Also... the buttons for adjusting my flaps used to shift gears... now they cant... but the Key's on the keyboard can do both... it all seems a bit arbitrary and not very user friendly (In terms of game play anyway).

Don't get me wrong... I appreciate all the effort put into this patch... I just can't stand this new 'feature'



:huh

Can't you map, say, Mode 1 for aircraft, then do mode 2 and use the same keys for diferent functions there?  That way, all you'd have to do is switch modes to be able to use the same keys for different functions. (I think...)

This is not a complete list, but only the ones I could think of at the moment.



No wonder I couldn't change gears in a GV by using stick buttons! In previous versions I had shift up and shift down mapped to buttons 2 and 3 on my stick. Just like several racing games I've got. I also had button 3, in gunner mode, set to "fire all" in case I needed an all-out blast from the PT-boat guns on a point target.

HT, bad idea. Change it back.

Its changes like these to a game that used to be so simple and enjoyable 3-4 years ago, that I will never understand.


I agree 100%, I cant get my stick working like it did before... + extra work trying to do that. Im sorry to say this but I really dont like this...
