Ah ok, I did not know that I have to enter "127.0.0.1". Shooting feels pretty satisfactory, although the recoil is a little rough. Instead of increasing the camera.tilt, try sth as follows:
if(shoot) camera_recoil = 10+random(5); ... camera.tilt += camera_recoil*time_step; camera_recoil = maxv(camera_recoil-7.5*time_step,0);
The sniper rifle does not have any recoil at all when you shoot in zoom mode. I've shot a small and big caliber this year in Canada, the big one of course kicks you like a horse but even the small one makes it impossible to stay on target when you shoot, no matter how tight you hold it.
The free space movement is a very nice gameplay element, the moment when you release the shift key though it does not feel very good right now. Instead of simply falling down (what does not make much sense) I would suggest you let the player keep flying in space in the direction of the last thrust. Imagine you jump off a platform (in space) and boost yourself into one direction for about a second. Now you can freely rotate the camera around but you keep flying in the direction of your previous boost, that is in the direction of your absolute velocity. When you now press the thrust key again and point in another (or the same) direction, you add some velocity to the absolute movement, if you've played lunar lander you know what I'm talking about.
vec_set(temp,vector(10*time_step,0,0)); vec_rotate(temp,camera.pan); vec_add(absolute movement vector, temp); vec_normalize(abs vector, minv(vec_length(abs vector),50);

Very good points! Thank you very much EDIT: The falling comes from the "gravity-boots". With pressing shift, the boots get deactivated and the "specialjump" is being activated. But youŽre right. ItŽs to rough.

As there is no one online, I suggest you post a time, f.i. 8pm CET, when we all join simultaneously for a nice deathmatch game. Mouse lock does not seem to work (I've changed the resolution with F5 and pressed F multiple times). I still find it a bit weird that the gravity boots pull you downward when you release Shift. I would prefer a free floating like I've mentioned in my previous post, it does not feel like you're in space right now, but it's of course your decision. Btw. the element Iridium can be found on earth and it's not new.

Damn, wrong document ^^ here: http://ifile.it/cpy6u2iAnd youŽre right with the mouse. IŽve fixed that. Too bad that noone is online when you are online. I played with 3 people, right before you came online. I wantd the boots to help, but also kill you. i.e. if you have no specialjump while flying, then you fall down and get killed, and without boots, you wouldnŽt need that much specialjump, because you could just look at any dirction, press shit only once and the space does the job. Superku is right. Server is now OFFLINE and will be online at 8:00 PM.

Thanks for playing @ all! Server is now down. IŽll solve some more bugs and upload it tonight for IGF. For you my lovely community iŽll do a completely rewritten version @lostclimate Yep, you can deactivate shaders. But iŽll also redo the levels, but this time out of models instead of blocks. They are so insanely lame.
