still bad mouse moevemnt.. i turned down to 6.. speed ok.. recognition of mouse.. failed...

i think a second movementoption would be great.. working with keyboard is much better in those games..

Can you tell me your FPS ? (press f11)

this is my code to get mouse position and move the bar:

c_move(my,vector(mickey.x*time_step*(mouseSpeed/25),0,0),nullvector,IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_PASSABLE|USE_BOX);

30 FPS

It's strange, because I used time_step to adapt mouse recognition.

Only one level at this moment, more when bonus are done.
Only one bonus (multi ball) to test gameplay


Mutliball is always ON in this test level. In the future, a seed will contain the bonus.

Raise the multi-ball gauge by catching spores coming from flowers. Right click to use mutli-ball.
If green part is full: +1 ball
If orange part is full: +3 ball
If red part is full: +6 ball

Flowers are hidden under some monsters.

HUD graphics are not definitive.

Normally when a bonus is used , it disappear and lets the place to next bonus in the list. Bonus will comes to green part already fill. Player can use directly the bonus with low power, or, he can try to fill the power gauge to gain a powerful bonus.
Sometimes, it's more interesting to use a bonus directly because next bonus is much powerful in some situations.

The graphics and ambient is great,
but the controlls are not well yet.

The mouse-movement drags behind and seam to have lags.

It plays smooth when deactivating the
effects. So the lag in movement is most likely cause by the effects.

All is full 3d, maybe it's a fps problem? Can you test to replace the level001.tga in /level folder by this one :

Or maybe you are talking about delay in camera movement ? In this case, it's a choice because I want to stress players when many things are coming to him. Maybe I can reduce the delay a little bit.

I just tested it:
the reason is the bloom shader. ( I removed it, and the game
feels fine when playing...)

This might cause a delay in the actions verus the visible frames.
So the movement appears some frames after moving the object.

Its not really the FPS, as i can run it with about 50FPS with
the bloom shader. and 60Without,

but the lag can be felt with bloom on.

(maybe useing the time_step then gives wrong values when
the displayed framelenght is different to the actual one...)

Easy Fix: just make the bloom as option in the setup.

ok, I will add gfx options.

Just a question, how can you disable the bloom shader even the code is compiled?

Was my question, too!
Solution: The engine tests only the wdl and c files, obviously. You can change the fx files like this.



BTW, even with bloom disabled it runs with 20 fps only on my pc. No normal gameplay possible.
