180 degree turns

Post by **MasterOFDeath** » Sun Jul 04, 2004 10:35 pm

Is there any way I can get a 180 degree turn in ZDoom like you can in boom? Would really help out... Is it possible at all, maybe with someting like a alias or console command, like +turn 180(example)?

Ok it works, but is there any way I can get it to turn faster?

Do it yourself?

I'm of the opinion that being able to suddenly reverse yourself is just plain stupid, anyway.. particularly in a multiplayer game where I'd consider it cheating. ZDoom's way is a nice compromise I guess, since it's not an instant thing.

Yeah, but i need the speed, at least almost instant

. I find it annoying to do it with the mouse, because in order to do it fast, I either have to have my mouse sensitivity insanely high, or move my mouse right off the pad.

Opt for the "insanely" high sensitivity and get used to it -- with practice you'll be able to aim at something 10 pixels from your crosshair or directly behind you in a quarter of a second with just a flick of the wrist.

I can turn quite fast and I have my Mouse sensitivity quite low... It's all about skill... and practice... I've been using the mouse since 1998... so, there... I've had like 6 years to practice... and I practiced lots

.

I'm also sad

destroyer likes to DM people... *snicker*

if you want to play a DM game, go hang around #NotZDoomRelated on OFTC and ask someone. active people are: me, destroyer, and faint/ultraviolet (we need more people!)

As much as I love Doom for the single-player stuff, I rarely play multiplayer, and even then it's usually cooperative. I used to play deathmatch with one of my friends several years ago, but haven't really done so except to test issues or maps since then. In short, you'd probably waste me.

Now if you wanted to play something a little more modern, I'd kick the living crap out of you.

(As a side note, why is your crap alive? You should get that checked out!)

Do a faecal bacteria count. That may answer your question.

Crap still alive? ... uh?

Okay, what is this #NotZDoomRelated? I'm aware that it's a chat room, but how doi I access that nd many others that I hear so many people rave about? I don't like the idea of paying for something like a simple chat programming (mIRC) so, what's this all about? How do I get hooked up?

mIRC is unlimited shareware, aside from the occassional nag screen. I'm sure there are free IRC programs out there, though.

I use VisualIRC. It's a pretty good client if you're looking to script the hell out of it, though there are plenty of other ones that you may find useful...

If you have Visual IRC or mIRC, you can click [url=irc://irc.oftc.net/notzdoomrelated/]here[/url] to go directly to the room.
