Irelands worst Air Disaster occured today when small two-seater Cessna 152 crashed into a cemetery early this morning in central Ireland. Irish search and rescue workers have recovered 826 bodies so far and expect that number to climb as digging continues into the evening.

Voxel crates and tires = sweet

Gameplay mechanics = shitty

For gods sake, the FOV even chages when you strafe! Whats up with that?

Whoever posted this seems to be aclueastic (new word) in judging brilliant work in progress.

It's criticism, deal with it. I'm just saying what needs improvement, fix those things and no more complaints from me (Well then I'll move on the the next, less obscene bugs)

Bob - the strafing view is skewed because one is leaning.
Quite what that has to do with any of the game mechanics is beyond me - but then you don't know what you're talking about.

The controls are arse. It only lets you use the mouse for turning, yet the right mouse button isn't set to jump. I assumed I was meant to used the WASD movement key configuration, only "a" still seems to mean "jump".

As for "It does that because you're leaning", I don't think you understand me. I understand why the view tilts, but not why the whole view zooms in. Thats what FOV change is, alteration in the field of vision value. I don't understand why the player's eyes would suddenly change shape as he walks sideways, it certainly doesn't happen in real life.

How the hell do you activate this thing? it seems pretty sweet.

I don't know why I have to point out the staggeringly obvious facts that there is no FOV change unless you use night vision and controls can be remapped with the *gasp* setup program.

Bob, the right mouse button opens doors.

That is the more traditional and common use for the right mouse button in most games. I have never once seen Jump for the right mouse button.

For me, there's an FOV change. The view distinctly zoomz in when you strafe. That's a fact, I just went and checked it again, I know what I saw.

How do you get the damn thing to work?

Hmm? Just unzip all the files to a new folder. They run game.exe. Optionally you can remap your controls with setup.exe first. It's only a test map.

If it doesn't work, make sure dos4gw.exe is in the folder. I think it comes with it, but if not, you can get it free online.
