Another take on movement (Long live the air control!)

[lambdist]

Good prototype. It's closer to UT3 movement.

Though the next build is coming pretty soon, a little update for the current version of the mutator with some extremely minor tweaks.

Some more testing on a small & intense map.

Hello there. There're already some stuff going on with the movement mechanics, but I still can't find something that feels right for me.
Well... I've decided to mess with the config a bit and I've came up with this.

In this config I'm trying to take further the UT3 formula while taking care of such flaws like "grounded feeling", "heaviness" and kinda single jump "underuse".

Tweaks:
- increased air control & falling acceleration
- double jumping
- primary & secondary walldodges are now equal (with adjustments for double jump)
- snappier dodges & dodge landing, reduced min delay between dodges
- no sprinting
- no landing assist boost
- slight rolling tweaks (no longer slower than walking)
- little increase in crouching speed

Distance comparison:

The goal was to make the movent more fluid, responsive & consistent without going crazy, fun but fair enough.
In my opinion double jumping is no less important than dodging, it's pretty much essential for more engaging face-to-face combat and a wide variety of playstyles. It gives you far more options both in combat and in overall movement without being nesessary to use for everyone or every time (if taken in consideration for the level design).

Please consider that it's hard to judge only by video

I hope it worth a try. Also I will be grateful for any feedback about what feels good/bad right now.

U clearly never had play any ut game series at competitive level... this kind of movement is what killed UT. Imagine how bad the game will be ruined by this kind of super-action movement, where everybody will abuse of this ultra-jumps and this game will turn into a jumping monkey unskilled fest. I mean, this is a competive game i dont this this kind of posts have place in this videogame...

That's pretty close-minded. Following this logic UT2k4 and UT3 are not competitive games because of advaned movement As far as I can see they're still doing pretty good and have a great community as well as UT99. The main reason why people play different UT games in the series is not the game mechanics itself, it's personal preference of certain aspects of the game.

This kind of movement didn't kill UT, it made the gameplay more fluid and introduced some new rules. If you see it as "jumping monkey unskilled fest" - you're probably doing it wrong, there's a lot of skill involved in doing it wisely and random mindless jumping usually put yourself into significant disadvantage.

I mean, this is a competive game i dont this this kind of posts have place in this videogame...

Yeah, UT is competetive game and I've got no idea why "this kind of post" can't have place. I'm not proposing any weird stuff, just carrying the overall well-proven direction defined by Epic Games in the last UT release. Almost all tricks is already pretty doable in current UT4 alpha, so why you're not arguing about something like walldodging, mantling, sliding etc? I'm just trying to make the tricks less random and the combat movement more responsive.

No offence, but it seems that you've never accept anything ouside of UT99 and just claim that UT could be competetive only with UT99 rules. Some people just can't stand the fact that advanced movement actually makes it harder to hit people and positioning gives less advantage because of many trickjumps. It really doesn't make the game less competetive though, there's just a different set of rules and there's nothing wrong if people find it more appealing.

It would be funny if in the end, the game would have more players on the UT2004 movement mutator servers than on the default ones.

I want to support this game`s physics

[UgroPNZ]

i really like all this stuff about movement cos thats what important in such type of games
but you shouldnt make air control too overpowered
