Even with auto-aiming (which nearly all console fps have to some degree) its still pretty hard to get precision and speed. And they want to give newer users a chance. For people who don't play video games, just the concept of moving with one joystick and aiming with the other is difficult. Having the game speed slower makes the game easier to learn. And, while this takes out the need for basic skill, people who play a lot of slow console shooters will almost always beat the newer players, so there is still a degree of skill involved. It's just not about reflexes.

Anyway, sorry for rambling on about nothing.

#73: maybe not

by Smiff2 on 06/25/2008 14:26

(cant post under my old name for some reason)..
after getting some new people to play this game today and watching them, first get a shock at the speed, and then adjust to it, i\\\'ve decided its pretty damn good.. and as a game, overall i mean.. but surely though a server speed option can only increase its appeal? don\\\'t change the default speed then :)

#74: Memory Leak?

by TomCat39 on 06/26/2008 02:15

Ever since this release I've been getting virtual memory errors after playing Saub.

I even had Saub crash with a not enough virtual memory.

And after a bunch of play for a couple of days my page file was 1.06 GIG. Normally doesn't get over 540 meg.

I had to reboot just to go surf the web.

I didn't reboot after installing this version over the last version, but I did wipe out the config file and let it remake it, then I just adjusted some variables back to the previous config.

What areas should I look to see if it's my fault, like config settings etc?

Doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem.

Thanks for any info ahead of time.

Yeah, that was pretty funny. I love how eihrul did it in the 'net equivalent of a perfect straight face.

I find it funny when people ask if something will do something, obviously without trying first, and it is actually right... (yes, that was funny)

#85: Trap door

by steve_e on 06/27/2008 09:38

Thank you for including my trap door into the CTF release - I feel very honoured and was over joyed to see it included in the models!! :))

by mitaman1 on 06/27/2008 12:36, refers to #85

Hi Steve_e,

Your trapdoors added a lot to the Seriously Big Valley sp map I made for this release. Great fun to have bad guys drop in front of the player in a previously cleared area. I'll be using plenty of those trap doors in the new sp map I'm working on.

Thanks - MitaMAN

by steve_e on 06/27/2008 12:55, refers to #86

Thanks, MitaMAN - that's really cool - I will have to check your map out - I haven't had time to devote time to Sauerbraten or this forum for 5 or so months (just logged back on in the past day as I prepare a staff development session on Sauer for my staff) so it is really a great surprise to see that the trapdoor has been included in the release and now that it has also been included in a released map! Cheers!

#88: Re: Trap door

by mitaman1 on 06/27/2008 18:28, refers to #87

To steve_e,

**spoiler alert:**

You'll find the trap door in 2 places in my "seriously large valley" map.

1st place is in the well on top of a hill in front of the 1st large building. It's triggered open from a switch on the moving platforms going across the water. It's sort of a "secret area" with various teleports leading to pickups.

The 2nd place is in the last room that leads across the bridge. On the way back across, trap doors are triggered to release some nasty bad guys.

MitaMAN

It looks like on the Mac DMG, the hudgun-sounds are missing. I'm getting various messages that "packages/models/hudguns/xy/xz.ogg could not be loaded" instead of firing/weapon-pickup sounds. I re-downloaded the DMG, those are still missing.

Anyone else?

I'll fetch the Linux Tarball and transfer those files.
